>here in the USA you have to go visit the inspectors once a year, unless u purchased a new vehicle, then you initially go after 2 years, after that its yearly. the price here is around 26 (or was it 28) dollar which is a government fee (not sure about the other states, but imagine its the same).

My mother, who is currently living in Germany, says it is twice a year. As to the cost, she didn't remember, because she paid for everything together: the TÜV (technical inspection) plus the cost of fixing the car, to bring it up-to-date for the inspection. I assume the latter was the larger cost.
