>Car registration shouldn't be based on the value of the car, it should be based on how heavy the car is. Because heavier cars cause more wear on the road, they should pay more for road repair.

It is in most states, the problem is the cost difference is negligible.

I have never heard of car registration by value

Georgia has an ad valorem vehicle registration tax directly based on the vehicle's value.
