Now i get why you told us you are no "ordinary Kenyan"

Not in that way but i recall when interpol conducted a swoop on some vehicles,most of the cars netted were the big cars including a range rover KAW G belonging to a powerful politician from Rift Valley.For those who know they buy the big cars cheaply and papers are not that important even Kaa ngumu bought one without papers.

Having had both cars and sold them, I think one would be better off with a Pajero. It is more powerful than the Prado and more comfortable. Status wise, a Prado has more status. One major disadvantage with the Prado is that it is unstable after speeds over 120km/h. If your 'cousin' will be buying spares for himself he should go for the Prado as Pajero parts are very expensive but they do last a while. It all boils down to what the car will be used for. Give more details so that your cousin can be assisted more.
However, if it was me? LANDCRUISER VX ndio Baba Yao. With Documents.

Pajero -3.8 lt.GLS . A 9 seater super car

The car is very luxurious inside but it has issues with the air suspension especially the ex UK ones and replacing the suspension system costs 1.8m at CMC and at Schumacher Karen it is 1.4m.
@Impunity,the documents for the VX have been found and you can go authenticate at KRA with a certain officer if you wish.The car is KBU Z,with numbers to the nearest 100 preceding Z.
