Yes @ mukiha, i do an average of 22km/ltre town drive, up to 27km/ltre high without stoppages. One thing to note is that the car is designed to go green rather than more of fuel consumption, no carbon emission.

About maintanance i do the diagonisis coz no good mechanichs are available.

For the batteries you only change the worn cells, mine have had no problem but have done so for a friend.

The total payable for the above car to KRA is 337,150. Its less because there is no excise duty on lorries.

Send the money to japan via your regular bank, most banks ave this facility and usually charge around $20 or 0.25% of the transfer amount.

Now that the year change is coming next month, who can confirm the last date that a 2003 model can arrive and be registered without problems.Take an example, a car is on board a ship at the end of November or early December but arrives late December or early January 2011.It this still valid for registration.what is the cut-off?

Find the rates from your banks. Usually about Kes 1500 for the transfer. If you have a USD account better still to avoid the arbitrary exchange rates of banks.

@Nobby; From January 2011, any car registered in 2003 will not be allowed into the country.

The car that is on baord a ship must arrive before January 2011 to be allowed in.

@Bartum

All passenger cars charged Import duty, Excise duty and VAT. Yes, B15 included. Its only pick-ups and lorries that dont have Excise duty but still are charged import duty and VAT.


Are the double-cab pick-ups also included in this exemption?

My no has changed to 0702-951-953 this is a permanent number (while I'm in Kenya).

Please, please, ignore the previous no., as quoted 0719-...

If anyone can tell me how to edit that post, I will do (currently using safari web browser)

It was a temporary no. and the woman who owns the phone.... is not amused when she keeps getting calls asking her to clear cars in Mombasa.
She is (I prey not) currently preparing to sue me for related damages.

You can't import a car older than 8 years from the date of first registration
