It cost to own a car. 20 year old or 10 year old. Engine install/replace will cost pretty much the same, doesnt matter about the age of the car. (assuming the car was not a limited run, exotic car, or gasp!! a Yugo, etc...). Same for Tranny service. As for car registration, http://www.california-lemon-law-blog.com/2009/05/ca_vehicle_license_fees_set_to.html
