Its true you might get one going for that price but whats the overall condition, mileage etc?but do your homework first before buying cheap.Also note that after making your initial purchase you need further capital for registration,floor job,fitting seats,installing speed governor,sliding window frames,new suspension springs,new tyres and rims, paint-job(if necessary), music system . ...the list is endless.
On average the above items will set you back between Kes.150,000 to 300,000 or more if you want to pimp it.Add that to your initial cost and we are already talking about a cool 1.2Million.
Anyway, this van has a tracking device already fitted,10 cd changer+flat screen,plus "goodwill" so to speak as it is already in a sacco hence you won't have to part with 50K or more to join. if you do your math well you will end up saving in excess of Kes.300,000 which you could invest in a plot etc.
Another thing to note is that whether ur mat is a KBM or KBA the returns are pretty much the same out there.
I hope to send u the photos soon. Very nice van.
