Look, we all love a good shortcut. But when it comes to buying a car in Kenya, the smartest “shortcut” is actually the old-school move: weka deposit. That first chunk you pay upfront, aka your down payment, does more heavy lifting than a Probox on market day. It shrinks your
Buying a car? Congratulations! It’s more than just a transaction; it’s a whole vibe. It’s that moment you tell your Super Metro conductor, “siwezi panda leo, niko na gari yangu.” It’s freedom, it’s flex, it’s finally not begging your cousin for lifts. But before

Car selling privately, everywhere, and not just in Kenya, isn’t just about listing it online and waiting for cash to drop from the sky. Buyers want to see, touch, test, and sometimes even argue about whether your car “really does 12km per litre.” Apart from finding the right buyer,
So, you’ve lost your logbook? Pole sana, but don’t panic. It’s not the end of the road, literally. NTSA has made the process digital and stress-free (well, almost), and less shady than the old-school days of endless queues and “chai kidogo.” Forget those long queues at Times

When I was learning to drive a car back in 2007 (unprofessionally and dangerously) on rough roads in Burnt Forest, whenever it rained, I’d stop for fear of sliding. Of course, that 2002 Suzuki Jimny didn’t have something we call traction control as a standard or optional feature.
You know that sweet, sweet moment when your phone pings, “Is this still available?” and your heart does a little sherehe because, finally, a serious buyer? Then… silence. Or they come, look, nod, and vanish like M-Pesa at month's-end. Sometimes it’s not the market, it’s small

So, umeamua kuachana na gari yako. Maybe you’re chasing that dream SUV, maybe you’re going electric, or maybe you just need to free up some pesa. Whatever the reason, selling your car in Kenya doesn’t have to be a long story. With the right papers, you can
You know that sinking feeling when you’re driving along Thika Road, playlist on point and the suddenly, thud thud thud? Yes, you’ve got a flat. And no, praying won’t stop your car from wobbling like a wheelbarrow. Neither is pretending it will fix itself. Every Nairobi driver
