Go with a mechanic to the show room 💯 and if you’re taking a car with moonroof run it through water to see if it leaks

Buying your first car is exciting, but don't let the shine blind you! Before handing over any cash, run through these 5 non-negotiables: 1. Scan before you buy: Dashboard lights can easily be cleared right before you meet. A diagnostic scanner is the only way to see hidden fault codes or if the memory was recently wiped. 2. Always test a cold engine: Listen for weird rattles when it turns over, and check under the oil cap and radiator cap for any milky buildup (a giveaway for head gasket trouble). 3. Feel out the gearbox: On your test drive, turn off the music and pay close attention to the shifts. Any hesitation, harsh jerks from 1st to 2nd, or CVT slippage usually means a bank-breaking gearbox repair down the road. 4. Look under the belly: Don't just admire the fresh paint. Look beneath the car and around the engine bay for wavy frame rails, misaligned seams or heavy undercoating sprayed on to hide bad rust and past accident repairs. 5. Keep extra cash in reserve: The price on the window isn't your final cost. Set aside another 10–15% for immediate fluid/filter servicing, fresh tires, insurance, and logbook transfer fees so you're not broke on day one.

The purchase price isn't the final cost🌚🤭 Keep money aside for transfer, insurance, service, tyres and unexpected repairs.

1. Cars are convenient but also inconvenient, nice to drive yourself around and you can carry stuff and leave in the car, but you also need to be aware of surroundings when driving and parking, roads can damage it and also theft of car parts and things in the car💀.

And I remember telling you utanunua gari soon kumbe naeza kua prophet. Anyway my biggest mistake when buying a car was not considering fuel consumption. I thought I am an indoor guy and would only use my car once in a while. But after buying your car, trips just come by or weekend long drives. Don't buy anything above 1500cc. I went for a 2400cc mafuta ilikua inaisha katikati ya highway😭. Biggest regret of my life. I went for big body Suv without rethinking. From mwiki to rongai it would consume fuel worth 2k. Also try and buy a car cash avoid loans unless if you are sure of your income streams. Start small, learn cars as you prepare for your second purchase.

Forgetting insurance and registration costs. Ask for the complete annual cost before committing. Not checking spare-parts availability This is especially important with less-common models.

Buy a car that you can afford ; don’t buy your dream car or a car that you have to pay very high monthly installments . You are still a live and you will get time to afford it. The sweetness is in upgrading after 3-5 years. Another important one; don’t fix your mind on one car, kuwa na 2 more options . Unaeza pata a very bad deal on a mazda demio na uwache deal poa on honda fit just because umekwama na brand.

Buy zero mileage if you can. 😭 I’ve had my car for 10 years and honestly, no problems with it. Best decision! 🤍🚗
