First Car

[Sylos]

Hello talkers,
I’m considering purchasing my first vehicle ( ex Japan) but I’m very green in this field ( actually got my license recently) So:

1. What are some of the things to consider when looking for a vehicle?
2. What’s the purchase process like in the Kenyan context? Assuming I’m buying it from a yard as opposed to importing.
3. How do I insure it?
4. What checks should I do before driving off?
5. Any other thing that might be of importance.
   Also any ideas on what would be a good first car for a newbie driver.
   Thanks.

Hello talkers,
I’m considering purchasing my first vehicle ( ex Japan) but I’m very green in this field ( actually got my license recently) So:

1. What are some of the things to consider when looking for a vehicle?
   Get a 1500_1800cc max since its new vehicle. I recommend local yard or mombasa so you can have a look at it well.
   Have a trusted mech or friend who is driving already to have at it to ascetain quality. Too much to check for me to type.
2. What’s the purchase process like in the Kenyan context? Assuming I’m buying it from a yard as opposed to importing.
   After getting satisfied of quality and price, get copy of logbook and if possible importation docs.
   Make a search online on NTSA and verify color, owner, manufacture year, registration year, cc, etc
3. How do I insure it?
   Talk to UAP or Jubilee, goole their no online they can direct you to broker. For 1.2m car comprehensive is around 50_60k
4. What checks should I do before driving off?
   Minor service a must. 1st driver use a trusted friend or reputable garage
5. Any other thing that might be of importance.
   Also any ideas on what would be a good first car for a newbie driver.
   Thanks.
