Aggravated motor vehicle theft in the first degree can be a Colorado class 3 felony, Colorado class 4 felony or Colorado class 5 felony depending on:
The value of the motor vehicle, and
Whether you have two or more prior convictions for motor vehicle theft.
Assuming you have fewer than two prior convictions, the maximum punishment for aggravated motor vehicle theft is based on the value of the vehicle as follows:
Less than $20,000: up to 3 years in prison and a fine of up to $100,000 .
$20,000-$99,999: up to 6 years in prison and a fine of up to $500,000.
$100,000 or more: up to 12 years in prison and a fine of up to $750,000.
Second degree motor vehicle theft is also a felony unless the vehicle is worth less than $1,000 -- in which case it is a misdemeanor. The maximum penalty for second degree vehicle theft based on the value of the vehicle is:
Less than $1,000: up to 18 months in jail and a fine of $5,000.
$1,000 or more but less than $20,000: up to 1 ½ years in prison and a fine of up to $100,000.
$20,000 or more: up to 3 years in prison and a fine of up to $100,000.
Additionally, your Colorado driver's license will be revoked if you are found guilty of, or plead no contest to, aggravated motor vehicle theft in any degree
