Have just seen this on the internet: Quote:The digital meters can easily be reversed. what they do is open up the meter and take out an IC which they replace with another one that is pre programmed and shows zero milage. then they attach the meter to a motor and spin the meter so that it thinks that the car is moving. in this way they take the meter to the milage they want. technically they cannot reverse these meters so they start from zero and take them to the desired mileage!

Whatever man has made it can be undone and where much is at stake be sure something can be done. If all people are looking for is low mileage.... give it to them, but sincerely ask yourselves how does a car that is used have 50k kms after 7 years - some possibly. I have had arguments that Japanese do not use their cars they have an excellent transport system blah blah all that is crap if you ask me.

Jans Trading cars have quite high mileage. My mechanical Engineer, (the kind you find at grogon, a graduate from University of Hard Knocks)tells me Mileage is not an issue as long as the timer belt has been changed. how true this is, i dont know. Of importance to me was that I get a good car, in good condition. Most kenyans are cheated as regards the mileage issue. many of those cars are tampered with. People buy cars to use, not to pack in their houses. A car manufactured in 2003 has had approximately 6 years on the road. Should the owner be as active as I am, doing 30000km per year...... do the maths for yourselves. ukitaka mileage enda showroom ununue 2010 model... A musician must make music, an artist must paint, a poet must write, if he is to be ultimately at peace with himself. What one can be, one must be, and same goes for a fool.

True... timing belt/chain/cambelt should be change at probably 50,000 miles (80k kms) or 5 years, .... check service guide or with main dealership when it should be changed. No harm in having it changed earlier.... If the belt fails while car is running it is likely to cause severe damage to the engine.... (pistons etc) The danger of insisting on low mileage car at a low price is the danger of having it clocked.

@mbalatya....kweli hapo umenena! AS long as the machine is good....sawa.....i also dont think millage interferes with the performance of the car as long as it is well maintained!! Case in point; A bus in the mash co. or any other that does mombasa route dail To and fro mombasa = 1000km daily; in 30 days ==30'000km in a year =30'000*12 = 360'000km. Do your caculation for 5 yrs the average life expectancy....but even after such a period...gari bado kama mbichi!! God gave me the power to make wealth ...

there is a new CRSP list for july 2011 VITZ/Platz/Ist/Scion 997cc 1,780,760 VITZ/Platz/Ist/Scion 1300cc 2,170,000 Ist 1500cc 1,920,000 Its amazing that a toyota ist 1500cc has a lower crsp value than a 1300cc one hence you pay more duty for a 1300cc car than a 1500cc car, what do these guys smoke? Ama ni typing error? you can download it here..... http://www.kra.go.ke/not...f2011/CRSP-JAN-2011.xls

you will now pay an extra KES 52,587/ duty for toyota ist/vitz/platz 1300cc vehicle.
duty + registration+ IDF for 1300cc ist/vitz/platz is KES 237,590
duty + registration+ IDF for 1500cc toyota ist is KES 211,296
duty + registration+ IDF for 1300cc ist/vitz/platz WAS KES185,003
with this kind of ambushing from kra, i now see why mps are reluctant to pay taxes.
Its is now cheaper duty wise to import a 1500cc toyota ist comared to importing 1300cc of the same model

KRA is about collecting taxes - there are fewer 1500cc IST than 1300cc ones, so they are aiming where they can make more - and asking more money. The most ridiculous of course is the duty on vitz/platz. But this is mainly an issue when you import a toy, you always get up-ended! But most of the Euro models are fairly taxed by KRA. Nothing personal please, just my observation based on that there is more demand for toys meaning even if they rear-end the buyers, the buyers will still pay - as though there were no options! When we ran to subaru, they raised the duties for all subarus, now I guess they are eyeing other models too. This is a bad time to be buying a car, and it may get worse.

@sigiriri, very true, the buyers of platz/vitz/ist are screwed, their only option is to pay what kra demands. However, i've always thought that you end up paying more on the same model if the cc rating is higher, however in this case, the 1500cc toyota ist will require more duty than the lower 1300cc toyota ist. Now the toyota ist 1300cc has a higher CRSP than even the 1500cc toyota spacio which is very popular on our roads. What kra should have done is make the CRSP for 1300cc ist slightly lower than that of 1500cc. As for 1300 platz & vitz, i have no words

Jimmy1, you just saved me from overpaying Waweru & Co. The C&F agent am using was unaware of this new list and had relied on the earlier list that was in effect from July this year. what would we do without wazua? It is a curious fact that of all the illusions that beset mankind, none is quite as curious as that tendency to suppose that we are mentally and morally superior to those who differ from us in opinion.
