for those who live in Colorado I was wondering what to expect to pay to get my plates. I know they go by MSRP among other things. trying to figure out if i need to get a 2nd loan to pay for plates:) 2011 Pro 4X

I just paid $160 for my 04. Expect to pay probably at least double that.

I solely depends on your local sales tax. There are some loop holes that you can get through. For example, the tax where I live is x% in the city limits but y% outside the city limits. The difference was a few hundred dollars when I bought my X. City limits being the more expensive. Most places are set up like that. Plowing, trash, city water/sewer are a few of the reasons why it's more in the city limits.

I'm assuming that you just bought your X and are plating it for the first time? My example is a one-time scenario that occurs the FIRST time you plate the vehicle, not every year(thank god)

first time plates. back in Sept. of 2010 i moved here and had to plate my 2007 FJ cruiser for $270. I know i will get a credit for those plates.. i live in broomfield so im not sure what taxes are. here is a run down though all back in Sept. of 2010.
2009 silverado $365
2007 Fj Cruiser $270
2005 jeep wrangler $175

I live in Arapahoe County and I paid $560 for my '09 Frontier last January. It was around $400 last month. Freakin ridiculous.

When I bought mine, I checked with a lot of stealerships and they base their sales tax on your zip code and not so much where you bought it. Which also coincides with county fees.

In Adams County i ended up paying approx $580
And i live in Aurora

i just got back from the DMV. I live in broomfield county and the plates cost me $615 and that was with my credit for previous plates

Insane. Taxes here are ridiculous and they claim that they state is broke.

think I paid like 60 bucks.

Plated 2011 PRO-4X in Denver a month ago and it was over $700.

what gets me is back in Sept. 5 months ago i paid $270 for plates for my FJ cruiser. they only gave me a $60 credit for new plates. i would have thought atleast $135 since it wasnt even half a year.

2011 Pro-4X in Colorado Springs was $580.00 with a $120.00 credit from a previous registration....so about $700.00.

If that doesn't torque you off the 2 hour wait just to pay for them will!

Disabled Vetern plates for me... free for life!

wow those are crazy numbers, i've been considering relocating to CO

My first time registering was around 280 in Denver. The renewal this year was $67.

This is off subject, but I'm looking for some other Xterras to go 4 wheeling with. I live in Lakewood. Probably going sunday. Let me know if anyone is interested. I also work for Nissan, so I'm a good person to know lol.

When I moved out here from Florida about 2 years ago it was $720 with RTD tax. This year it was only $280, but mines an 08

Plated 2011 PRO-4X in Denver a month ago and it was over $700.

Stop you're scaring me. I just bought my Pro-4X last week. Oh well I'll just have to enjoy it until the bill comes. Ignorance can be bliss, especially when it comes to the Gov't

I just bought mine last week (07 s) and had to reg my plates for the car i traded in, paid $315 so I'll see what kind of credit i get when the temps are up in early Sep.

Just registered the wife's 2011 Pro4 X, over $600. We live in Jefferson county.

we registered my FJ when we first moved here last Sept. I bought our Xterra in Dec. and they only credited us back $68 even though i paid $275 for the FJ just 2 months earlier

Damn guys.. I forget what the initial fee for tags are here, but after that its $38 or so a year for them to send you a new registration sticker for the plate (and also a once a year inspection with ranges depending on the shop charges and if you have to get emissions and if so what level... but for me its typically $30 for the yearly inspection)

Sent from my GT-I9000 using AutoGuide App

Yep, my 03 costs me about 120 this year in Colorado Springs.
