how to buy a car in Nairobi?

Post new topic

morikins

Hi!  We're moving to Nairobi soon from the US and we know we'll need a vehicle.  I don't think we'll have enough $$ in hand to buy a decent car when we arrive.  Are car loans a possibility?  If so, what are the rates like?  Has anyone financed an imported car? 

Thanks!

ofcourse, car loans are available if you have maintained an active account with a local bank for 6 months or longer.  Most car dealers will work with you if there is reason to trust that you will not default in payment.
