Choosing Japanese Used Car Dealers and Exporters

When comparing Japanese cars dealers, buyers should also check company history, available stock, payment options, and support for shipping vehicles to Kenya.

What to Check Before Buying a Japanese Used Car 

When buying a used or imported Japanese car, there are essential points to keep in mind before making your purchase.

  • History and Mileage: Always ask for the car's service records. A documented service history can help verify its mileage and previous maintenance.

  • Warranty and Certificate: Especially with imports, this is a good sign if the car is certified by a dealer or has a remaining warranty.

  • Condition: Check the car and all of its components. Check for signs of wear and tear and have a qualified mechanic inspect it.

  • Import Regulations: For car imports from Japan to Kenya, it is important to understand the registration requirements with relevant rules, taxes (such as import duty and VAT), and the National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA).
