Registration costs completely vary based on county, let alone state. So it's really hard for anyone to give you an idea why there's a difference without knowing your specific county (and maybe even city.)

Engine costs... for most basic consumer engines, they are only going to go so low. They may even go back up in price a few years down the road.

Trust me I am not complaining about the price as we will be having to pay for my wife's new used engine. I was merely wondering the cost difference.

We are in San Gabriel Valley in the county of Los Angeles, where the sale taxes are much higher than Sta Barbara county even tho' the latter is a much wealthier locale. Many many rich celebs have their 4th, 5th, etc. homes there as well, namely, MJ had his ranch; the Reagan have theirs; Oprah with her mansions.
