Listen to yourself speak a KAY @ 550,000/= Plizzz????

IDP,

Damn!!!.....Why not??It may be in mint condition.......what matters is how the car has been used.I know of a lady who has a car she bought in late 2008.....I have no doubt she uses it to plough her farm and those of her neighbours.

@Nandwa,
If you value your money,take the car to AA and let them do a valuation.They will give you a value very close to the worth of the car......but that should set you back kindu 6K.

@JkMwatha

It's a bulging back more like G.Touring. with a neat boot knob for ease of pulling it open.

I have a KAP Sprinter Carib Toyota. You have to see it to believe its a deal you will not want to miss. 380k. Must sell before May 2010. Bull bar, roof rail, fog lights, supersports rims and 185mm wide tyres etc. Service records properly kept. Call 0722-24 24 23. Say G.

Hi Wazuans,

hope nandwa will find this post useful although a bit late.
I have a 1999 Toyota carib z touring that i imported from japan. It cost me 680k including port charges then- 2007.i have used it without any issues for the past 3 years and 2 months.
all i do is regular service- oil, airfilter, spark plugs, fuel filter, brake pads. the only other major thing i have changed are front shocks and the tyres- expected after 3 years.

what i can assure you is they are very reliable cars, shares most of its spares with the premio and regular corollas. actually the engine on the carib is the 7A engine you find in the premio.that gives it quite some punch if above 1800cc.most are full time 4WD which is good if you pass muddy roads sometimes.

city consumption for me 10km/lt, highway 15km/lt. my transmission is manual. Go by the service history and how the car has been kept more than looking at mileage or registration as they can be very misleading. then have a reputable company like Auto assured do a thorough valuation- it will cost you 4k( worth it).

i valued mine i week ago for insurance purposes and valuation came to 580k after 3 years on the road. thats one good thing with toyotas- resale value.
