FIRST TIME CAR BUYERS : HOW TO BUY A CAR IN MOMBASA

1) Do not come to This City (Mombasa) Blindly without any references. Everybody is a broker once you tell them you've come for a car. Your interests are not catered for in such situations. Utashikanishwa na any car at first sight .


2) Never Carry Cash .

 All Transactions are to be done through the bank transfer

3) The Best Showrooms are Pakistani owned. These Men are not greedy ! Their profit margins are reasonable compared to other showrooms.

4) Be on the look out for Vehicles that gave been in use by the showroom and put up for sale as new. Verify the mileage at the time of inspection with the current mileage in the  Odometer.

5) Never show too much interest in a car ! As much as you may have fallen in love with it (Ladies) . This only convinces the showroom to place a higher price tag on the vehicle. Always act like you aren't moved an inch by a vehicle's looks.

6) Avoid Brokers who walk & stand in groups outside showrooms. Too many Interests combine for a single deal. 90% of the time you will be conned.

7) Do not Sign sale agreements or Pay without having a comprehensive look at the vehicle.
8) Ask for auction sheets to check on the grading of the vehicle you are about to buy
9) Service your Vehicle before Driving back to Upcountry . Change oil filters, air filters, spark plugs , worn out wipers etc. Do your identity and riveting of car parts before leaving Mombasa. Cars from showroom are a hotcake for theft. Fit Tracking devices too.

10) Hybrid cars with a mileage close to 150,000 or above 150,000 are a redflag 🚩🚩🚩 avoid at all cost !

11) Leave early in the morning to avoid Night Driving .

12) Incase you make a stop over at mtito andei , be on the look out for car thieves. Most cars disappear at this point. midway into their journey to Nairobi

1) The Leopard : They are a solo identity. They go about taking photos from one showroom to the next without engaging much. If they have to speak, they ask for the price from the dealer & leave silently. They advertise cars on social media platforms like twitter & facebook. They are the best as they have a reputation to protect online so they sell good units 2) The Wolf pack : A group of individuals working together. They identify potential clients and connect them with a car immediately they catch sight of a client walking the streets. They have a bond formed majorly along ethical lines. In Mombasa it's a Kamba , Western Kenya &  Mount Kenya  affair when it comes to wolf packs packs. They do not eat alone in a shared deal. One is nothing without the group.
