Kama una roho,look for a run down moti and re-condition it. They are all over the place.

You will need a good mechanic and the time to tafuta spares tho. If you are a D-I-Y person,you'll enjoy it!

@waswa... i dont have a car to offer but just a little advise

Say,you could look for a car costing you 100k. the 18k on top,you enrol in a mechanic course coz you for sure for sure are gonna need it... 2k,look for a good mechanic,buy him a drink with 1k and give him 1k juuust.... coz you surely will co-own that car with him... and you need him to take good care of it while you are way... in any case,he will have it more times in a week than you will. while at it,enjoy every moment of it coz it will make a good laugh a few years from now when you finally buy a car. (all this on a very light note)....

dig out a previous thread on 'your first car' and read the experiences.... it will help.

Experience is what you get when you don't get what you want.

@waswa,

Auctions or tenders might sort you out.KAA put an ad in DN( i think yesterday) for some jalopies that they are disposing.On the other hand why not buy a new motorcycle?(though you will need nerves of steel to evade matatus on the highways)

@ Wendz,that was very funny but it is the truth. I'm still getting tickled by the response you've written.
@ Waswa,seriously speaking,why are you looking to spend that for a car? You will easily get one of those Old Nissans and Peugeots for even less than that,but you may end up spending even more than the purchase price on repairs etc.
Another thing is that such a vehicle is likely to be a guzzler ( carburettor) and will cost you quite a bit. About three years ago,my old man bought a Peugeot 305 for Ksh 90000. I can tell you that he has spent much more than that on fixing things and purchasing very hard to find parts.
Even if your car is only meant for moving from point A to point B,would you want the car breaking down in the traffic?
Spend at least 220000 and you'll be sure to get a decent car

Reminds a friend of mine who bought a old ka-toyota for around 70k and he called guys in ucha that he has a car. Then he made this long journey to Mashinani. Halfway engine started heating up. He called mechanic and he slept at Mwea. I think he made a good date with Mike Murimi there. Next day he proceeded when he reached mashinani the car had a gearbox problem and he packed it near the ka-bus stop. Six years down the line i still see the car where it was packed. He tried even selling the tires nobody seemed interested. The guy stayed like 2 years before going back home i dont know why anyway.

Make a wise decision dude


life is an endless adventure

@Wendz:

...apart from what you have listed,he will also need something like 1k in his pocket every time because such cars have a tendency of not wanting to complete climbing that Mbagathi hill....
