Our story

Buying a car in Kenya used to mean weeks in WhatsApp groups, yard visits along Ngong Road and prices that changed with every phone call. Sellers struggled too — hours lost to time-wasters and buyers who never showed up.

We built KakaMotors to fix that: one place to compare thousands of cars with honest prices, real specifications and sellers you can check, from first-time private sellers to the largest showrooms on Mombasa Road.

Our mission

To give every Kenyan the confidence to buy and sell a car at a fair price, without fear of being cheated.

Our vision

The most trusted place to buy, sell and look after a car in East Africa.

How KakaMotors works

Step 1

Search

Filter foreign used, locally used and brand new cars by make, budget, year, mileage and county.

Step 2

Compare

Check real trims, engines and KSh prices, and compare up to three cars side by side.

Step 3

Buy safely

Contact sellers directly, inspect the car, run an NTSA search, and pay only when you're sure.

What we stand for

Transparent prices

Every ad shows the asking price in KSh, with condition and mileage up front — no “call for price”.

Verified dealers

Dealers earn the Verified badge only after we check their KRA PIN, business permit and physical yard.

Imports you can trust

Foreign Used ads are limited to model years within Kenya's 8-year import rule, and buyers are prompted to ask for the KEBS certificate.

Safety by default

Phone numbers are masked until a buyer asks, and every ad can be reported to our trust & safety team.
