Even though the tax for the Fiesta I is not really cheap in Germany, there is good news: according to current planning, the amount will stay the same after 2005, which is DM 49,60 per 100 ccm.1

This results in the following annual tax sums:

Engine cubic capacity calculated by tax formula annual tax sum
1.0 LC/HC 935 ccm 496,00 DM
1.1 1087 ccm 545,60 DM
1.3 1263 ccm 644,80 DM
1.6 1566 793,60 DM

Apart from the regular registration, there are several ways of special registrations which might help reducing the motor-vehical tax (at least as soon as the car is 30 years or older).
