Do you have a house? If not, think of buying that first.. Ama unategemea mzee?

Talk to us through email: gqsmotors@gmail.com or visit our offices at old mutual building, Kimathi street. We will advice you on a wide range of cars and present you with pricing of cars available for sale through GQS Motors. Also visit www.qqsmotors.com for more details. For now, i'll present to you various options for different budget levels.

Some of the basics to consider for a first car include: economy, size, power, resell value,age, reliability, main area to be used (town/rough roads), price among others.

For a budget of 550k to 700k, the Runx/Allex/NZE/Spacio are recommended as they score quite highly in most points. Nissan wingroad is also great and more spacious

For a budget of Ksh.450k to 550k, the Toyota ist is also great if size is not that important. For a slightly more spacious car, you can consider Mazda demio, Toyota Spacio (old shape, Mazda familia, and Toyota Premio (old shape) for a similar budget.

If your budget is between Kshs. 350k to 450k, I would recommend Toyota corolla 110, 111 and 100. Nissan sunny B15 comes second with this budget.

For a budget of 250k to 350k, we have Toyota starlet, Toyota duet and Nissan sunny FB14. Mitsubishi lancer comes in second with this budget.

This qualifies as hate speech against car dealers but let me dignify it with a response nonetheless for the benefit of well meaning wazuans.
We do not need a yard because we sell cars on behalf of people who are selling their cars while still using them. We also deal with imports and consulting. For this and many other reasons, operating from an office in the CBD is ideal for our customers. We make it very convenient for our customers since we reduce the need for looking at hundreds of cars and lots of travel across many yards scattered across Nairobi and its suburbs. In short, YARD in not necessarily equal to QUALITY and CONVENIENCE!

@newfarer, the site is not up yet but will be up by Tue next week. I just included it since i know many people will still be looking at this post long after Tue next week.
