How much is my car worth in Kenya?

Last updated · Cada car guides

Your car is worth roughly what similar cars (same model, year, engine and mileage) are actually selling for in Kenya, adjusted for condition, service history and whether it is locally used or a fresh import. Asking prices online are a ceiling, not a value. For a free estimate use Cada's car valuation; for a loan or insurance, lenders and insurers use a formal valuation by an approved valuer.

What lowers a car's value

  • No service records or a mileage that cannot be checked.
  • Accident repairs, mismatched paint, or a salvage history.
  • Warning lights, gearbox problems or overdue big services.
  • A loan still recorded on the logbook.
