Photoshop or what? even if t was actually true would it be profitable at 6 passengers to kisii, or would the passengers cough a lot of cash

@Prime ,thanks.

On the costs....seems I need to re-think.

I will do further investigation...any idea on the costs of the 5L/3L in good condition ..? thanks.

@hindsight, my route was doing away with the 5ls. Old ones were going for around 1.1m but thought it was an overstatement. Pole, did not follow this up though can give you a referral (give me mail).

As advised, 5ls from long distance might give you better service. There are quite well maintained if from a good sacco, plus the motive for selling is legit-competition from 7ls.

Try as much as possible to take minimal loans on your first. The business is unpredictable. You can get a good loan on your second or upgrade as you will have some experience and inside guys.

Engine overhaul; try as much as possible not to go this route! If you get a 1-KZ Diesel plus gearbox it will set you back in the regions of 400k kama haitaleta shida! This is the cheapest model for mats (common in J90/95 Prados but fits a mat). But i hear it gives the mat power ya vitz!

Nrb-Thika rd (machester) or Lopha Sacco-rt 11

Though not decided as yet..

Budget yako kidogo itakutatiza. Competition on that route is high. A vehicle costing that amount may not hack.
