You asked about how to acquire a toyota NZE through direct importation.
The process is simple: Once you identify the car of your choice,you contact the seller who will give you a quotation for the cost of the car,JEVIC inspection and the cost of freight. If the amount is acceptable to you,the seller will then require you to send the money to them (100% upfront) by bank SWIFT transfer. Once you send the funds,the seller will then book your car on the next available ship going to Mombasa (the ships may take more than a month to be available).
Once the ship leaves Japan,the seller will send you by DHL the shipping documents which you will then give to your clearing agent. Your clearing agent will then be able to get an estimate from KRA of the import duties & taxes. Once these duties and taxes are paid to KRA,your agent will then clear the car,obtain registration and get the car released at the port.
The entire car importation process can take from one month to two and a half months,depending on how soon you send the money,whether there is a ship readily available to load your car,etc.
You should have enough funds to cover the cost of the car,the cost of Shipping,JEVIC Inspection,Sea Freight,Import Duties & Taxes,Clearing & Forwarding,Registration (and Delivery Costs if you want it delivered to you anywhere besides Mombasa). If you delay clearing your vehicle,the KPA will charge you late storage charges.
A rough estimate for you to directly import a 2002 Toyota NZE is Ksh. 500,000/= to Ksh. 600,000/=.
You can alternatively also use a local car dealer who would use their own money to import the vehicle (and you repay them locally once the car arrives). In this way you get peace of mind not sending money to the unknown car dealer in Japan (there are many reputable dealers in Japan). However,by using a local dealer the price of the car would rise to roughly Ksh. 650,000-Ksh. 850,000/= depending on how well you shop around.
I can quote a price of Ksh. 650,000/= for the 2002 Toyota NZE X Grade,White in Colour.
Below are some examples and links of cars (be sure to add the cost of Shipping,JEVIC Inspection,Sea Freight,Import Duties & Taxes,Clearing & Forwarding,Registration and Delivery):
