Advice on process- Written to be Valuable to the buyer and seller-

  1. Asses the car- is it mechanically sound If you lack the experience to vet the vehicle it would be ideal to have a mechanic inform you about all the details regarding the car after performing proper assessment.

  2. Reach an agreement on terms of sale. Would you like to make a full payment upfront? The contract for Sale, can be modified to meet the needs of both parties. You could edit the above but it is recommended you follow the proper legal procedure.

  3. Make the payment It is always recommended you pay by cheque so it is traceable. There is an ideal system whereby you deposit the payment in the advocates account, the advocate then releases the vehicle once it ensures the paperwork has been completed and is in good order.

  4. Transfer the Vehicle on the NTSA platform. This process is done by the vehicle owner from their NTSA TIMS account. The party that pays the transfer cost is normally the buyer. They will transfer it to you online and you must then accept it from your personal TIMS account.

  5. The seller should give you the original logbook and you then go submit it to NTSA and collect the new version.

  6. The final stage is to then get the vehicle insured under your name. Because we care- we even have the guidelines of how to handle an accident can be found in this link; kenyanlaw.com. Getting the right insurance is crucial and we are here to help you.
