Inchcape Kenya quotation for the all new RR Vogue Autobiography 3litre Diesel; $430,000. And this is just the standard wheelbase. The price of the long wheelbase version is something else. How much would you have to be worth before buying this machine, fellow KTalk Mbirrionaires?
Peasant proverbs. By the time mtu anaamua kuspend 10s of millions on a luxury, ameinvest kutosha. Maybe he/she already has 2 billion in cash flowing properties/assets so logic yako makes zero sense.
I would never buy a Range Rover from Inchcape even if I had the means. Why not import one directly from the UK??? It’s probably still cheaper after tax.
Luxury goods e.g. high end cars, jets, beachfront villas etc have value because they are scarce. They separate the sh#tmunchers from the elite and are status symbols. Whether you like it or not, we live in a hierarchical society.
That Range Rover is special because 50 million peasants (including myself) want it but can’t have it.
I agree on the first point. Many forget that such buyers have already invested heavily. Regarding ex-UK cars, I would NEVER import a used high end UK diesel vehicle as it comes with zero warranty and it’s not tropicalized, so mashida za dpf, egr etc ni mob. The only good Range Rover is a new one, not mtush. Once it hits 100,000kms and the warranty is about to end, trade it in, and get a new one.
Range Rovers are manufactured in the UK. You import a brand new one not a used one. Hapo pa warranty sijui but maybe they have an arrangement with local dealers after you import from them. Unaweza pata umeimport cheaply directly from UK brand new, wakupee warranty and you get the services from their licensed local dealer.
Cars manufactured for the European market have some differences with the cars we get, esp diesels. Due to emissions regulations, zao ziko Euro 6, zetu ni Euro 4, meaning those meant for the African market can take in our not so clean diesel bila tafash. Importing a brand new unit ain’t cheap either, taxes are still very high.
