Interesting info, Jeff. I purchased a 93 coach in Seattle, and it ended up costing me $15k in licensing fees in CA. At the one year point I was shocked to get another bill for over $1k for renewal (a 14 year old vehicle?). BUT, I was too concerned/scared to try to do the Montana LLC thing.

I had been considering it for my next renewal (December), but this again gives me pause, since I live in CA.

I am sure I'll be jumped on for this next remark, but part of me feels that if I live in CA, AND I drive the roads with a vehicle, I should pay vehicle tax in CA. Agreed, I think the cost is WAY too high, but I guess that's a different argument. Granted, I don't use the vehicle a lot, it would be easy to justify a Montana LLC. But something inside tells me that's just wrong ...
