Kenyans are known for using all the tricks in the book to sell a second hand car. But some of the tricks are just out of this world. Some are just mere funny like the following:
1. Lady owner
This is the most used by car dealers to sell a second hand. Many people believe that a car which has been owned by a lady is likely to be in good condition than one owned by a man. Due to this farce, many dealers have resorted to use it to sell cars to unsuspecting Kenyans. What people don’t know is that you are better off buying a car owned by a man that one owned by a woman. Some women are rough drivers and others are just ignorant. You may end up buying a car that’s so faulty you will empty your bank account to repair it. Many people believe because women are gentle in life, they extend the same gentleness to the car!
2. Accident free
This means a car that has never been involved in an accident before. Just because its accident free it doesnt mean it is in perfect condition. It maybe faultier than a 1953 combine harvester. Watch out!
3. Clean
Every car is always clean. I mean I have never seen a dirty car. Unless its been in mud. This to me means the car is just in good condition. Otherwise some cars are just dustier than the Sahara and Kalahari desert combined.
4. Asian owned
Just because someone of Hindi origin owned it doesnt mean its good. It may be too faulty it may end up being a mkokoteni before you rich town.
5. Expatriate owned
This is now the funniest off all. People will brand it the perfect car because its owned by an expatriate who is relocating believing its in good condition. People buy in droves. Hapa unapata umegongwa kuliko vile Ruto amegongwa na Uhunye.
