My registration is due at the end of April, and I think I'd like to get hobbyist plates on my '95. It's $200 and the car's registered for as long as I own it (and I plan on owning it more than 3 year, after which time that fee will have paid for itself).
The car has non OEM ride height, which makes it not eligible to have collector plates (in WI, anyway), so hobbyist it is.
One interesting thing, though, is that to get the hobbyist plates, you send your title in along with pics, application, money, etc. You then receive a new title which is labeled as 'hobbyist' or something along those lines.
Will that hurt the value of the car? I'm not *that* worried about it, because I didn't buy it to sell, but I don't want to blacklist it like a salvage title would do, that kind of thing. Anyone have experience?
