I agree to some extent with you.The reason Kenyans and other countries rate Toyota highly "overrated" in your own words is resale value & reliability. My colleagues bought an allion in 2015 for 1.2 and has never visited a mechanic..the car has never had issues...sold it last year for 800k....

I applaud your rating approach but terms like "overrated" mean that you are comparing. Merely comparing used car prices is not really informative because people are trying to make a judgement about the whole package including reliability, spares availability, resale value (and therefore depreciation), etc. Can I suggest that you can do another video in which you compare several different attributes and that way get the true "best value for money." True we don't have a company like Warranty Direct with its objective reliability ratings but there are proxies; no of ads for particular makes on sites like Cheki (indicative of demand), no of complaints on various chats about particular cars, dealers, insurers, AA of Kenya purchase data, and possibly KRA as well. It's a lot of work I know, and I'm not paying the bill. I enjoy watching your videos. Keep it up Erick!

@dontbother6949 2 жыл бұрын

Overrated is meaning their practicability, price, usability and appeal. Car prices in Kenya are just driven by the importation ban and not necessarily market forces.

A Merc W202 with an "M111 engine" is bulletproof

@rodneyagesa1851 2 жыл бұрын

1.Oil Leaks. This is the common issue of the 111 series. The causer is bad cylinder head gasket. 2. Loss of power, high fuel consumption. The root of evil is the air flow sensor. 3. All M111 series engines are quite noisy and featured by a short sparkplug life. Too many sensors =too many problems and that is why there are NO Mercedes on the list of reliable vehicles.

@bobbzkw1 2 жыл бұрын

@@rodneyagesa1851 I disagree with you on all fronts esp when it has to do with " high fuel consumption or noisy engines" M111 on the W124, W202 and W 210 platforms are cars still on the road after 20 - 25 plus years. The makers must atleast be doing something RIGHT

@PraiseThePrince 2 жыл бұрын

As important as other things go, car spares play a major role in car choice for buyers. Tbh cars like the pre-2006 fielders have way cheaper spares than the post-2006 models and that's enough reason for buyers to go for the such kama hiyo ya mataa ya boot... It has the fielder reliability, durability, status and passenger & boot capacity, yet with cheaper maintenance upsets. Spares are also quite cheap for Toyotas compared to other cars in the same class and year band. One thing with car maintenance is that sometimes you have to cough out cash for spares you didn't anticipate to purchase at that time - so the cheaper they are, the fairer it is to the owner.

@caxmwas2884 2 жыл бұрын

Since you have partly used price as a factor, you should also add whether the "overpricing" is due to the taxes KRA impose or its the car dealers' margins that are high. For instance, how much does it cost for say a 2015 auris if I import Vs purchasing from a dealer. It could just be that the taxman is imposing more on popular models.
