The Best Time to Buy a New or Used Car in Kenya ¶
Published on November 27, 2019
Buying a car in Kenya can be a daunting task, especially with the numerous options available in the market. However, knowing the best time to buy a new or used car can save you money and make the process easier.
According to car sale experts, the end of the month, particularly in March, July, September, and December, is the best time to buy a new car. This is because dealerships work to meet their sales targets, and they often offer discounts to meet their targets.
Another good time to buy a new car is during the launch of a new model. While it may be tempting to buy the latest model, it's advisable to wait for a few months after the launch when the teething problems have been resolved. Additionally, buying a previous-plate car when the new number plates are released can also result in a good deal.
For those looking to buy a used car, the best time is during seasonal sales, peak months, and holiday trends. Seasonal trends in sales of new cars have a knock-on effect on the cost of used cars, making it a good time to buy. Peak months for sales of new cars, such as March and September, often result in a surplus of used cars, giving buyers a strong negotiating position.
Additionally, buying a used car during the holiday season, particularly in November, December, January, and February, can result in huge sales and promotions. It's also a good time to buy four-wheel-drive vehicles in the summer when demand is lower.
Overall, knowing the best time to buy a new or used car in Kenya can save you money and make the process easier. By doing your research and timing your purchase correctly, you can drive away in your new or used car with confidence.
