Inspect & Do Due Diligence
Never buy a car blind. Arrange to meet the seller in a safe, public place and bring a trusted mechanic to inspect the vehicle.
- For Fresh Imports: Verify the import documents and mileage.
- For Locally Used: This is critical! Before engaging further, perform an NTSA TIMS search using the registration plates to verify the true owner and ensure the logbook matches the seller's details.
Agree on Terms & Sign Paperwork
Once satisfied with the condition and ownership, agree on the final price. Draft and sign a legally binding motor vehicle sale agreement. Ensure both parties have copies of their IDs and KRA PINs for the NTSA transfer process.
Pay and Drive
Safety First: Never pay in advance! Only transfer funds via bank transfer or verified methods once you have seen the car, verified the NTSA details, and signed the paperwork. Once payment is confirmed and the NTSA transfer is initiated, take the keys and drive away!
