If you are considering importing from UK, have a look at AutoTrader. There are thousands of dealers you can choose from and over 300k motors at any given time. When doing a search, one of the mandatory search criteria is a postcode, use RM19 1QX.

Services offered: Once you have bought the car from a dealer/seller of your choice, I will make all the necessary arrangements from this end for it to be shipped. These include arranging for JEVIC inspection, notifying DVLA and arranging for recovery company to deliver it to the port (some dealers can do this but it will cost you extra). Once car is delivered to the port, normally Tilbury Port, I will DHL all the documents to you, normally 3-5 working days after the ship sails, these docs will be Bill of Lading, Log book, JEVIC inspection certificate and all other documents you and the seller/dealer agreed on, these could be Car Manual, Service History etc.

Additional service: If you would like me to view the car you are intending to buy before paying any money, I can do that for you, I will also test drive it on your behalf. I will however need your word that you are a serious buyer so that I don’t waste my time and money travelling to go view a car that you don’t intend to buy. So, no time wasters when it comes to this.

Before you buy: Ensure the car is a 2003 model and has a valid MOT, with at least 4 months left on it. If car is not MOT’d, JEVIC will not inspect it unless a new MOT is issued which will cost more money. MOT test checks that vehicles meet UK’s road safety/worthiness and environmental standards.

Clearing: There are a number of KIFWA registered agents I can introduce you to and they will manage the process on your behalf, including delivery to your doorstep if required. I can also advice you on approximate duty before buying any car. Details on how to calculate duty is available of KRA website if you would like to check it out yourself.

Payment: This is the tricky bit for many, you don’t have to pay me money for the purchase of your car (you pay the seller/dealer you are buying from), inspection (I will arrange and send you invoice, you pay JEVIC directly, costs between £125 -£148),freight (I will book and you shipping line/company directly [costs a minimum of £800], we normally Diamond Shipping services - they have offices in Mombasa).

***The only money you pay me directly is for my services***

***If you chose to pay me money for the car, inspection and freight to transact on your behalf, this would be entirely your decision, not mine***

Charges for my services will vary depending on distance, normally starts from £300 per car.

Warning: For peace of mind,source from independent dealers or franchises. If sourcing from a private seller, I would advise you use an agent/family/friend living in the UK to transact on your behalf.

@Njunge,you need JEVIC inspection for all imports, it is a regulatory requirements by the Kenyan Authorities. If you import without the certificate, they will fine you and in addition, still get JEVIC kenya to carry out an inspection, to avoid the fine, it is advisable to get the inspection done before the car is aboard the ship.Have a look at KRA website for more information.

I buy mine from gumtree.com - Its easy to find a genuine private seller.You can also try www.motors.co.uk,www.car-supermarket.com,www.thecarexchange.com,www.cargiant.co.uk and many more.

@Oyster,
Ahsante!

JkMwatha, you are right,that's the reason I offer my services. I have been in the trade for over 15 years, and I know what to look for whenever clients send me to view cars on their behalf. Many people who import, do it blindly, be it from Japan or Europe and the unlucky few,end up with all sorts of problems that could have been avoided by sending a relative/friend/agent to view the car before they part with their cash.Note that viewing and not knowing what to look out for is absolutely pointless, so, whoever it is you are sending has to be in the know.

I must mention that, majority of cars from UK will be very good and well maintained and I am sure JkMwatha agrees with me on this, but just like any other society, you will find bad seeds. With my services, I will steer you way from these bad seeds.

@JkMwatha... Where are you based? Give me a call and maybe we can share ideas....

Customer can source from a place of their choice, one is not restricted...and we just offer other services.

@Oyster - Mostly, West London.
Good idea. I will call you.

@Njung'e - Positive.

@Ric dees - I will pose the question and then the answer.... just incase you missed it.

@Githuon - WOW!!! ...that was '...below the belt'
You are just short of getting me summoned to appear before a Tribunal.

but I see where you're coming from

I do not claim to run a car dealership neither do I have premises where there are stocks of cars.
That does not mean that I live in a small village in North Wales (called West London).
I don't even like KFC or McDonalds!

I source/buy/sell/export/import vehicles (cars/trucks/farm machinery etc) and parts.
The most I ever hold is probably 3 or 4 cars... either because they're on order or I picked up a good deal.
I am only just setting up a business, soon to be revealed... but I am currently trading in my own name.

I am not asking you to trust me (...well actually, I am)... but as for exporting cars to Kenya, it has been mainly through referrals.
Some time ago I indicated that I got some orders for vehicles from 'strangers' through this forum. This has continued to generate (albeit slowly) other orders.
[Never, will you hear me criticize Wazua]

Lakini, I will get there.... believe me ... Nitatoboa.
