Car prices compared Kenya VS other countries

I have just come across an ad for a Nissan xtrail in the middle east, latest model retailing for 2.1m KES. From the Nissan showroom.
What would be the price of the same in Kenya?

Damn more expensive

4m na kakitu juu…

upwards of 4.2 M.

About Ksh4.2million for a base model.

If you’re wondering why, look no further than that grinning economic hitman, Henry Rotich

Chris Kirubi controls Isuzu. Peter Munya is in Kirubis Pockets. Uhuru has been bribed by france na watu wa Vw. Japan ilifinance tuprojects kidogo pale port lakini na ikapeana conditions lazima age limit ipungue.

Not available in Kenya, I guess.

Kenya import tax for vehicles and the general cost associated with bringing in a car ranks at the very top in the world.The whole thing is very punitive in nature.Wazungu wako hapa hushangaa when they try to import a vehicle.

Tembea Kenya…nimeziona nakuru…masonko wa milimani hawatambui 4.2m ni kusema nini

Check this used one 2.7m 2014 model[ATTACH=full]243730[/ATTACH]

Hapa Kenya ukinunua gari you buy one for the government ,karibu 98 % tax

was shocked that the new G wagon is kindu $168 000 but hapa DT Dobs ni 37 big kahunas. yaani hata a ‘local’ imewekelewa tax kaa makeup ya Betty Kyalo

i wonder what goes on in munya and uhuru head kwani where is the purchasing power for brand new cars?

If you want an affordable brand new car, nunua locally assembled kama VW Polo.
Then you will only pay VAT.

Polo 1.2M?? I would rather buy a rickety Xtrail that just had an accident than waste my money on a toy car.

tiida ni 120%

Agreed!

For Munya it’s the kickbacks.

For Uhuru it’s more alcohol and the feeling that amefanya kitu ya maana. Alcohol destroys braincells.

INFACT ON CARS THERE IS NO MANUFACTURING GOING ON JUST ASSEMBLY OF PARTS SHIPPED FROM EUROPE

How about people who’s ego are larger than the life itself who just want to use an off road SUV for daily city life yet such are not being assembled in the country?
