Buying a car at a good deal is more of a mind game with the dealer. If the buyer is vulnerable to manipulation, you will buy exorbitantly. Even if you like the car, do not be all over it. Be willing to walk away to check other deals. This gives the dealer an introspection THREAD This is AUDI Q3 2L arriving in Mombasa soon. You can book it
time ajifikirie if they offered you the most competitive price in the market. Do not act desperately. Also insist you are buying the car in cash ( Prioritize this). Toa gari makosa, do not be overexcited, let the dealer know that it is not that URGENT and you have to make a
purchase immediately. If you have time in Mombasa, go to the hotel and come back tomorrow ( If your budget allows you to). For you to get a good deal , do not prioritize big dealerships ( They have issues with quality control ). They also sell a lot. You may not get a good deal This is a Subaru forester Non Turbo SJ5 2016 which you can i

What if I told you that majority of cars you see on our roads are owned on hire purchase? This is the quickest method of owning any car in Kenya. Hire purchase is an arrangement whereby

THREAD
the buyer deposits an amount on the car and drives away with the car from the dealership. They clear balance on the car within a given period of time from 3-20 months ( specific to Mombasa used car dealership ). But why is hire purchase the most preferred method of car
ownership in Kenya especially among the young population? The answer is simple , the process doesn’t require you to have any collateral ( security ) and again is less bureaucratic. It is FAST, and the distance and Time between Footsubishi to Mitsubishi is SHORTER.

SIO STORY ZA JABA but on 20th September 2013 this man , Chiquinho Scarpa,one of the richest men in Brazil dug a grave to burry his Bentley Continental. Majority felt that this was an extravagant act and the man could otherwise donate the car. However, Mr Scarpa maintained 1/4
that just like the Egyptian Pharaohs , he wanted to have the best in his after life and therefore he was okay with burying the Bentley. However, moments before his car burial , he made known his motive known to the people. He said:
“People condemn me because I wanted to bury a million dollar Bentley, in fact most people bury something more valuable than my car. They bury hearts, livers, lungs, eyes, kidneys. This is bullshit.

A FEW IMPORTANT TIPS FOR CAR BUYERS IN KENYA
• Do not prioritize trading in your car to upgrade to the next. However, prioritize selling it independently, get the cash and top up the difference.

WHY ? Because 9/10 times , when you trading your car to pick a mother unit 👇🏾👇🏾 This is a brabus truck lol 😂/2023 model
they will always want to give you the lowest possible amount on your car.

Trading in isn’t a bad idea but let it be the last option.
• When budgeting for your car , please budget for COMPREHENSIVE INSURANCE in advance. WHY ? Because just like the car , you also need to shop
for the best insurance provider and competitive market rates.
• When you are buying any late number car in Mombasa, especially Audi , Porsche , BMW and VW at a competitive price , THINK TWICE. WHY: Majority of those units have underlying mechanical issues. Do proper diagnosis. This Hyundai Sonata that we imported for our client. It 2000

Once you get your first job or the job you have been looking for , invest in improving your skills and competence to an extent that you become indispensable. Majority of entry level employees become very COMPLACENT and just browse and watch YouTube the whole day at work.
Once you invest in improving your skills and boost your quality of output at your workplace , the organization will be so hesitant to get rid of you and you can work in your own terms. You can even tell the HR that tomorrow you will be late and they will understand.
But majority of young employees only show commitment within the first 6 months of getting the job , after which they become too comfortable. They forget how it was hard to get the position in the first place. The idea is to become more valuable to an extent that you can negotiate
