Let me talk about LATE NUMBERS and LATEST NUMBERS CARS. Did you know that in Mombasa in yards and showrooms we have even cars from 2010 already registered but never used in Kenya? These cars have late numbers as shown below and have never been sold.

Latest numbers are the newest numbers. However, buyers don’t understand that a car having an old number or late number doesn’t mean the car is old or not road worthy. Many Kenyans prefer latest numbers for instance now KDC. I have never understood why. It is a misguided

priority when you are buying a car on a budget. What you need to understand here is that I am not talking about locally used cars(Cars that have been used in Kenya). I am talking about cars that were registered long time ago and have never been sold to anyone since then.

Just like any other business, you cannot fully sell your stock. Some stock must remain for a long period of time. This is the same scenario. These are cars that were registered long time ago but have never been sold. So then does it mean that one can save some money when buying

A late number car in the showroom ? The answer is definitely a big YES! In Kenya customers buy Number Plates more than the condition of the car! They want to be current. However just like any other thing, new numbers come and go and therefore you should think of it critically

So in terms of saving money, since the demand for cars in kenya is driven to an extent with the current number plates, cars with late numbers are considered dead stock and therefore dealers are willing to sell them 150-200k -250k less than the current number counterparts.

I can therefore advise confidently that if you want to buy a car on a budget please don’t restrict yourself to the number and always look for KCX KCV KCW KCY KCZ, it will save you some cash and you will have the same same car that the person with KDB is having.

A typical example, a KCW Axio 1500CC in Mombasa will cost you about 950k while the same same car KDC will cost you 1.2M. So you have bought the number plate for 250k?? Do the math and reorganize your priorities when shopping for a car. Tell me instances when a new number is

required if not maybe just maybe scanty times of resale? Consumers must come to terms that the number plate of a car is something that doesn’t last long due to many cars being imported and bought. It is only a month ago when we had KDB as the new number and right now KDC is

Trending and it will soon end. I am not saying that getting a new number car is a bad idea, it is very much ok if you can afford. This thread is for someone who wants to save some cash on their first car purchase. I know the fear of how will your friends know you have a new car

if it is not a KDC😅😅. Overcome that fear and be real with your pocket. Don’t succumb to the pressure of getting a new number plate car when you can get the same unit at a cheaper price. Of importance is the condition of the car not the NUMBER PLATE.
