David,if your car is a new car you will pay a "use" tax equal to what you you would pay in sales tax in your county(less any sales tax paid on parts so far)plus approximately 2% of the value of the car for the registration,as it stands now.About 10% is a good rule of thumb.If a transfer from out of state,probably just roughly the 2%.If you bought it used in Ca.,same as new-plan on roughly 10%.Take in all receipts,and make copies as they may keep some of originals.Don't even try to squirrel out of any of these fees,as it may come back to bite you later.This is based on information I have gathered from about 6 mos. of digging,and if anyone has anything to add,please jump in any time!
