License & Registration

new enough, not needed, plates will be a LOT of $$ though, based on list price, depreciates a little ever year after.

 

Here is a link:

How are my AZ vehicle registration fees calculated?

 

also if you just purchased it from a dealer and need to title and regsiter it you are going to have to pay tax at 7.95%

 

In AZ, tax on the difference.

 

No smog inspection needed for the first 5 years.

 

Use a private third party agency, the MVD is painful.
Desert Title & Tag Vehicle Registration and Renewal - Arizona Third Party MVD
It only cost me $15 and 15 minutes and I walked out woth everything; plates, tabs, registration and title with no need to mail me anything.
Cars 5 years and newer don't smog check.

I had a tricky Q regarding AZ notary requirements on an out of state private party purchase to resolve a lease payoff a issue. Every time I phoned the AZ Motor Vehicles Dept they would give me different answers. On advice of a friend I went to Desert Title and I was out in 5 mins; the lady had the correct details on the Out of State title that made the transaction smooth.

 

Then there is always the MT LLC. Anonymity, cheap plates and no sales tax.

 

In Prescott, Arizona, I transferred the titles and plates on 3 cars in about 40 minutes. Never seen it so easy (obviously after living in Kommiefornia). And it was relatively cheap for an older car. My wife's Porsche Cayenne diesel was pricey for tags, however.

 

I think they are starting to crack down on this (IRS/State of Arizona?), or am I wrong?

 

Tags for my 458 - $3500/yr

 

You can do an Arizona LLC owned by a trust for anonymity with very little effort and cost. There is no issue with this as you/the LLC will still be paying fees and taxes on the car. It's nice though as no one will have a clue who owns the car. Not even the po po.

 

Or the photo radar guys.

 

So this is why so many AZ supercars have Montana and other out of state tags! nice info
