See what the car itself sold for

The calculator shows the taxes. A full report shows the car's auction records: each auction we hold, with its price, grade, mileage and photos. It puts the recorded auction price next to these taxes, so you see the car and the import cost together. Enter the chassis number to find out if we hold records.

Searching is free. If we find records, reports start at KES 3,900.

Not every car has records, and a price isn't always on record. Import figures are estimates, so confirm them with your clearing agent.
