Does this sound correct to anyone?
Reg fee: $33
Basic gov sales tax: $257
Smog required.
Now, this is my first new car, the MRP is listed at ~$25K. Bought it in Sac, CA.
I bought it 1 year ago exactly, do I need a smog already? Seems weird.
Am I going to have to pay the tax every year? Perhaps its because it was purchased in Ca?

That's not "sales tax" on the sale, that's the normal tax they charge above and beyond the fixed $33 registration fee. I think it's called "sales tax" because it's a tax based on the original sales price, not because it's actually sales tax. That number will go down over time. For example, my SVX is listed with a $34,000 MSRP, but I pay like $11 for that second number 'cause the car is 14 years old now.
Smog is required every year on all cars, except I think hybrids (starting this year) which are every other year.
