The Problem: Why Kenya’s Used Car Market Needs Change

Kenya’s used car market is valued at approximately KES 600 billion annually, with over 85% of car buyers opting for second-hand vehicles (Source: KNBS). However, major challenges make the buying and selling process frustrating:

• Lack of Transparency: Over 60% of used car buyers struggle to verify vehicle history and condition.
• Fraud and Scams: Fake listings, odometer tampering, and dishonest dealers create trust issues.
• High Prices Due to Middlemen: Traditional dealerships and brokers inflate prices, making it difficult to find fair deals.
• Limited Financing Options: More than 70% of buyers need financing but struggle to secure it.
• Slow Ownership Transfers: Car registration and transfer processes can take weeks due to bureaucracy.

Cars Request Africa is solving these issues by offering a transparent, efficient, and technology-driven marketplace.
