Be warned! You could be driving a ‘written-off’ car

Once a salvage is secured, the cartel steals a car, which they dismantle and change its chassis and engine numbers to correspond with the logbook details of the salvage.

A new trend is emerging in Nairobi and other major towns where newly imported vehicles are being sold for as little as Sh80,000.

Some crafty dealers scramble for cars written off after road accidents to the extent of bribing agents selling the damaged cars.
