there was a notorious car dealer who used to do this along Lang'ata Rd. Change your security system once you purchase ur ride.

Plus those who instal alarms are more often than not the same ones who disable them - just like some computer virus are created so that an anti-virus software can be offloaed to the market.

And I dont know why people buy vehicles without seeing the real logbook or a genuine copy just because a 1.5m car is being sold to you at 850k and u r told to pay 500k now and we will give you the logbook once you complete the bal in equal instalments.

A few yrs back a mama was sold a lorry worth 2.5m at KShs 1.8m, paid a balance of 1m and the balance in 6 equal monthly instalments.
Even after completing the payments she kept being taken round in circles about the logbook. Then one day out of the blues a bank reposessor stops her lorry bang in the middle of the road in Matuu with a repossession order issued by the bank. Vehicle was towed to a storage yard in Nbi, advertised for sale and sold by the rightful owner, the bank, since the borrower had defaulted. She lost 1.8m for simply not going to Times tower's registrar of motor vehicles who would have told her the lorry was registered in the joint names of the bank and borrower.

I say buy European...

I think toyotas are cars to avoid at all costs. Now I see Guka's wisdom in investing in Bujuti.
