Car from Sweden

Matthias - you may import a car tax and duty free under the given international terms.Kenya has a age limit of 6 years and the car must be your private asset for at least 2 years. then you need a permit(class?) and don't bring a LDH - you will enjoy the kleptocracy at the Mombasa Port.
...and Volvo or Saab are not build for Africa.

well we have alot of RHD cars in sweden and the are really cheap (no one wants them)... so i was thinking of buying a Volvo V40 RHD and store it in sweden and then import it to kenya...  will have (i hope) my class K permit soon.
And by the way Volvo is owned by China now and SAAB does not exist more
What happened with the 8 year limit? and does that limit apply for a car that i haved owned in sweden and want to bring here because i move here?

be vigilant - you are not the first muzungu with this brilliant calculation; buy cheap sell with a hefty mark-up and enjoy Mtwapa
Under Class K you are not allowed to earn any money here in this Republic ...and if you think to be smarter as the rest - deportation takes 24 hrs. the MSA car-selling racket has best connections to the immigration...

Why would i sell it???   i will give it to my girl friend   and that will be a loss...  i dont want to drive here....  you all drive on the wrong side of the road ....   and i have my salary outside of kenya so i dont have to make any cash here....   after 5 years in Brazil i have learn how to follow everything to the letter.....   i will never risk anything.

bravo - that is the right way to behave as a Muzungu role-model in Africa - to give the car to the girlfriend will be a loss forever - as they drive on the wrong side...

Hi Mat.
The import rules are-No vehicle imports more than 8 years.
No left hand drive-and you should have owned the car for two years prior to importation.
All the best.

Many thanks for that answer...
