@jimmy1. Thanks. Means @Vj's statement that I quote in #146 "...i.e in October 2010 you should buy a car registered before October 2003." is not accurate but safer to avoid "current" month!

@jerry, you should buy a vehicle that has its month of registration very close to the month you want the vehicle to arrive in kenya. Even right now you can buy a 2007/2 vehicle but ask the exporter to ship it in the middle of jan 2014 so that it arrives in feb 2014

Thanks @jimmy1. I'm seeing myself becoming an expert soon!

Don't forget to screen your car of radiations after the tsunami in japan. The car might be from around there.

Was the incident at "FUKUSHIMI"? Good point @african coloner.

Aren't all carts screened by Jevic for radiation?
see here
If any car fails the Jevic inspection for one reason or another (eg radiation or odometer tampering) then it is the responsibility of the exporter to source for a similar car, at their own cost

My first post on the forum and it had to be on this thread. Very informative and great to see the helpful attitude on here. I aim to contribute to this forum in similar manner.

@Vj, Fantastic job by the way...Have a unit coming in Feb with lower valuation based on CRSP value vs. CIF value. Maybe you could drop me a note on kimathi(underscore)murugu(at)yahoo dot com with guidance on how to get CRSP value to stick? Thanks.

Someone was telling me that the 8 year rule is set to be reduced/dropped with the integration of the East African Community. How true is this?

@beesknees. Unless you want to be corrupt you just pay duty on higher of CRSP or CIF. I urge you to comply with the law!
