Here in Ontario they now have a reference library of values. Try to hand them a receipt for too little (according to that list) they are either going to make you pay taxes on the base price listed or get the car appraised to prove it is worth less than that. Of course they don't give you a reduced rate if you tell them it is higher than their list says it should be.

Here in CA they will use book value unless you sweet talk them and convince them the car needs a lot of work and so the value was a lot lower.
“The car reeks of cat pee and the engine is blown, guy practically gave it away” boom a 25k car becomes a 1k car.
We can also do registration at AAA here and since they aren’t state employees they could not care less about getting more money for the state.
