How Much Does a Probox Cost in Kenya?

 If you are considering buying a Toyota Probox car in Kenya, one of the questions you will have to grapple with is on cost. The cost of a Probox in Kenya depends on several factors. For instance, it depends on whether you are seeking to buy a brand new Probox in Kenya or if you wish to buy a second hand Probox in Kenya. Obviously, a brand new Probox would tend to cost much more than a second hand Probox. If you are keen on buying a second hand Probox in Kenya, it will also depend on the extent to which it has been used. For instance, a Probox that has only been used for a couple of years would tend to cost more than a Probox that had been used for a decade. There is also the question as to where exactly within Kenya you are seeking to buy a Probox. For instance, while it is always possible to find a second hand Probox for sale in Nairobi, its price may not exactly be the same as what you would find for a second hand Mombasa Probox.

There are folks who have bought Proboxes in Kenya for as little as 100,000 kenya shillings, and there are individuals who have bought Proboxes in Kenya for as much as 800,000. It depends on factors like the ones we have highlighted above.

In most cases, you will tend to find that the Proboxes that are sold for very little sums of money have all sorts of issues. So, for instance, you may find a 14-year old Probox on sale for 120,000 shillings. But this would be a car requiring all sorts of frequent repairs. It would also be the sorts of car that is unreliable, as you never know when it would break down. You have to understand that modern cars are usually manufactured with a finite lifespan, and once that lifespan is over, they tend to develop all manner of issues. Thus, in most cases, if you find a Probox in Kenya on sale for anything below 100,000, you should know that you are likely to be buying it only for its scrap value. But such a vehicle can still be useful for farmwork and plying those tricky rural routes – as long as you have a good mechanic always on standby. Or if the person driving it is actually a mechanic...

Of course, there are cases where you may find a Probox that is in reasonably good condition being sold for a relatively low price. This may be the case if, for instance, the Probox’s owner is in financial distress and wants to sell his car for whichever price he can get in order to sort out the urgent issues he is having. In this regard, for instance, you could find a very decent Toyota Probox in Kenya on sale for, say, Kenya Shillings 200,000 or Kenya Shillings 250,000.

There are also situations where people who take loans to buy Probox cars are unable to repay those loans in good time. The Proboxes are then put up for auction, and this is another method through which you can get a very decent Toyota Probox car in Kenya for a very low price.

If you do have the money, the best thing for you to do would perhaps be to just buy a brand New Toyota Probox. Or a newly refurbished Toyota Probox. Such a car is likely to serve you for at least 5 years before it starts developing issues. And should you want to resell it, you can be sure that it would fetch a good price. But if you wish to just buy a car for the sake of being a car-owner (or to serve in those difficult rural routes/farmwork), you can still make do with the second hand Proboxes that go for as little as 150,000 – while also being ready to spend a similar amount (or more) on repairs over time!
