(1) When the owner of any motor vehicle, excepting Class One trucks and passenger automobiles other than buses, registered and licensed in this state, shall sell or transfer the motor vehicle or when the motor vehicle has been destroyed so as to be unfit for repair or further use, and the owner shall replace the vehicle with another motor vehicle requiring payment of the same registration or license fee, the owner may, at his or her election, transfer the license plate and registration of the vehicle being so disposed of to the vehicle acquired as a replacement thereof, upon payment to the Director of the Department of Finance and Administration of a transfer fee of ten dollars ($10.00) per vehicle.
