Import it yourself… just make sure its a car that is in the KRA tax system already. Because if not ,the officer who will be inspecting will make you make him kitu 40 richer or he could slap you with a 150k more tax on top of that you had calculated for no reason.
But all in all a 200k milage from japan is nothing. Don’t freight
Where can i check that?
You will have to liase with a clearing and forwarding agent. They have these apps on their phones that have the cars on kra system already

Example is this forester. Sad story. The guy imported this car in regard to tax bracket of the normal forester. Ilipofika kuangalia kwa system haikua. So it had to go for inspection. They found out its a diesel, panoramic sunroof leather interior, paddle shifters. The ghost was fully specd. The inspecting officer said he would pay like 300k more on tax alone but the guy ddnt curve in instead aka kaa kichwa ngumu. Angepea huyu jamaa at 50k juu ya hio 1.2 m tax. Story iishe. So kra was now notified the car has a tax of 1.5 tax but the guy now ddnt hve the 300k. On staying at the go downs it exosted the free grace period. Ikaanza kua accumulate storage fee.
Now he has ditched it there inakula vumbi its for auction this 24th
Hivo ndio unafikria sio? Sawa…
Japan is a country with very strict motor laws, body scratches, inconsistent gaping will make you fail an inspection Skip maintainance… mess your engine emissions score. Hio gari ata kama ni ya 60m utaweka kwa nyumba
Saddest story i have heard today. Okay incase i choose that route i will heed the warning and always consult an agent first kabla kuleta gari
I agree. I trust an ex japan car over a kenyan owned car any day

A new Shaken certificate is provided to the owner of the vehicle after the successful inspection. A sticker is also placed on the windscreen of the vehicle.

Guys stop thinking that owning a car in japan ni mchezo.if you go to tradecarview and see a toyota 110 ae looking new… mpaka interior. There are laws there. If those laws are brought here 90 percent of our new cars will never be allowed in the roads by the nxt year of use
I see what you did there.

Assuming that the Impreza G4 will be used not only for daily life but also for leisure and travel on weekends, the opening and width of the luggage compartment are wider than the previous model, making it easier to load and unload luggage. Considered.
