How I outwitted a Nairobi car broker on X.
OK guys I'm not saying car brokers are bad people but some are extremely greedy.
Here is my interaction with one of the brokers I saw on X .
I saw an advert for a sale of a second hand vehicle on TL X. It had the vehicle description and price tag of 1M and a contact.
I took the contact and called
Me: Hello Sam (not his real name) I got your contact from a person who told me you're selling a car (x) on twitter for 650K and it's negotiable.
Broker: yes I'm actually selling the car but it's not 650k, hiyo ya 650k umeionea wapi waja nikutumie link uone.
Me: sina account ya X lakini nimeona hiyo gari sini gari X na specification ni hii na hii.
Broke: eeh... Lakini hiyo bei iko chini
Me: hapo iko sawa Sana. Gari enyewe iko wapi
Broker: iko (mahali x) kuja Friday uone na tubonge.
Me: sawa Sana nne Ntakuwa hapo.
I went with a friend and negotiated it for 670K. Kitu najaribu kuwaambia ni brokers wengi wa magari wanakulia double or more than the asking price ya seller.
Hii mtaa inatakikana ukae jonjo.
