Hacking! Some rotten devil hacked Kenya Car over the Christmas period...Happy New Year to you too, whoever you were.
Anyway, take heart, only sites that are getting more popular and more hits get hacked  We have taken the precaution of installing the best anti-hacker software available to try to prevent it happening again.
The BIG news is that Kenya Car online shop will soon be accepting payment by credit card! You read it here first folks...Kenya's first genuine online payment system will be announced by I&M Bank on 20th January. This will be a huge step forward for Kenyan ecommerce in general and anyone wishing to buy Toyota parts online at Kenya Car.
To reflect this advance this month's poll concerns online buying and selling. Take a look and let us know your opinion.
To be fair, last month's poll was a bit of a let-down but what it DID show (you car sellers out there) was that most visitors to this site are looking to BUY cars. Don't be shy, post your car for sale free of charge.
The popularity of Kenya Car continues to increase and will continue to find marketing on nationally publisiced websites. 2010 is going to be a great year for Kenya Car and online sales in Kenya in general. Don't be left behind, ditch the hard copy noticeboards and post your ad on Kenya Car FREE OF CHARGE

December is here already and the end of the year is nigh!
Kenya Car says "Enjoy this festive season but don't drink and drive' 
Exciting news! Kenya Car has teamed up with Kenya's only mobile magazine from Alcove Kenya. This amazing development is a reflection of the increasing use of mobile devices (iphones, PDAs etc) and promises to rocket in usage.
Have a look at the 'mobizine' video here www.am.alcovekenya.com and notice how Kenya Car is integrated into the car section of the mobizine. Not only that but there are also cars that have been placed on Kenya Car on show. Each listing shows the car, and image, the price, and a link to phone the seller. How good is that? As more and more people download the mobizine your car listing will be viewed by more and more people.
That is just another good reason to list your car on this website. Just HIT THE BIG RED BUTTON - it doesn't cost you anything!
The November poll had more responses than all previous polls. This is an indication of the rising popularity of Kenya Car. The results gave a demographic of visitors to the site, and those who chose to take part in the poll of course. Having seen so many users wanting to take part, it is time to have another go at getting some discussion about cars going on our forum. Not only will this encourage more people to visit Kenya Car, but also improve your chance of selling your listed vehicle.
Make a start...if you have never asked a question or made a comment on a forum before now is your chance 
This month's poll is to help us to create content and provide services that best suit our visitors. Just let us know what you are doing here... over there --->
Finally, this time of year sees a lot of gifts changing hands. Most are much admired and useful. Some are a total waste and utterly useless to you. If you find that you have been lumped with something you are not too keen on but would like to sell in order to buy an alternative then why not post your unwanted gift at www.kenyaonlineauction.com It won't cost you a penny, and might make you a bob or 2 
Happy auctioneering!

Happy November! Apologies for the delayed monthly update...got stuck in traffic
The good news is that the online shop is LIVE ! This is another leap forward for ecommerce in Kenya. Kenya Car is the only website that offers online parts sales. The number of items for sale will be added to over the next few days. The shop supports true online payment by utilising the online payment processor at www.monyamickle.com
'Driving Kenyan Ecommerce' eh? How appropriate 
What is even better is that the results of last month's poll clearly show that Toyota is easily the most popular make of car. This is good as the Kenya Car online shop is offering Toyota parts!
It is a bit of a shame however, that the few people who suggested that the poll was either boring, or that they could do better, delined to offer any alternatives in our forum, The Garage.
This month's poll is to get a better idea of where all you vistors are browsing from. Sorry if your exact location is not mentioned. Please select the place that is nearest to you. It would be great to build up an active community here at Kenya Car and to share stories, advice and experiences online from the various parts of Kenya. It is gratifying to see the number of people taking part in the monthly poll is incresing month by month. What not provide YOUR feedback right now?
Don't forget that with it's increased exposure, a pattern that is going to continue, Kenya Car is going to become THE place to advertise your vehicle for sale, and free of charge too!
Have a good month...

We are now a few days into September and so it is time to probe the Nation's opinions once more. Before doing so let us examine the general feeling about matatu drivers... It seems opinions are strong on the subject but swing from one extreme to another. 33% of users think that matatu drivers are 'just doing their job' while 30% consider them 'thuggish, irresponsible murderers', with the other options all taking a back seat. So matatu drivers...you are safe yet
If you take a look to the right --> you will see scrolling ads showing a variety of items. These are all for sale on www.kenyaonlineauction.com, Kenya's fastest growing online auction. Take a look at the items for sale and post items of your own if you wish. Basic listing is free of charge!
The subject of this month's poll is 'Driving Wings'. How does one get awarded 'wings' as a driver in Kenya? Undertaking? Bribing a policeman? Cutting a busy corner by driving through a petrol forecourt? Or is this just a childish approach to driving and that none of these happen? Let us know which stripes you have earned by making your choice in the poll.
Kenya Car is the country's fastest growing online auto sales website. There is no charge to list cars for sale.
Happy Driving

The goods news is that Kenya Car is soon to be getting a major boost to it's marketing so now is a good time to get your car posted. Without giving too much away we can confidently say that within 2 weeks Kenya Car will be known to millions of Kenyans as a result of national media!
Not only that but we bring the exciting news that Kenya Car will soon be the only online autos sales website to offer GENUINE TOYOTA PARTS for sale! Kenya Car has entered into an agreement with Toyota East Africa that will allow us to sell genuine toyota parts at DISCOUNTED PRICES. Users will be able to buy the items from our online shop and pay with either Mony a Mickle online payment system for Kenya (at 15% discount), or direct to us via our Safaricom Pay Bill account (at 10% discount). Come back soon for more details...
To be fair, what a disaster last month's poll was! Most of you, quite rightly actually, selected the 'This is silly' choice. It was a bit silly I admit but it was born of the frustration experienced during day to day driving, and seeing the Highway Code being ripped up and thrown out.
This month's poll is much more 'vanilla' let's see which car is considered the best (without actually listing every car make). As I was composing the list of options I realised that they were all going to be Japanese makes. Why is that?
If you choose 'None of the above' why not explain your choice in our car forum?
If you choose the 'My poll would be better' option tell us what you would write for your question and choices in our poll competition
Drive safely !

Well, July's poll asking if cars had personalities seems to show that we all err on the sentimental side...the most votes went to either 'definitely' or 'there's something about old cars'
Now all road user's cannot avoid interacting with matatus. They are the backbone of Kenyan transport. But how do we feel about them? Are they long suffering, hard-working decent folk or reckless idiots pushing their way around in the archetypal 'road hog' manner? To be sure they have a tough deal...but then so do most folk. Is their behaviour of outrageously flouting the highway code something they can be forgiven for? Or are they simply self-serving, arrogant bullies taking advantage of the better road sense of everyone else? The next time you are dangerously over-taken and then dramatically cut up by a matatu in the first instance rushing to it's destination and in the second slamming on the anchors and pulling over sharply with no indication will you be thinking 'aww they're only doing their job', 'wow, that was impressive', or 'if I had a gun I would shoot that twat's tyres out'?
Now's your chance to tell us what you think. The poll over there ----> gives you 6 options. Let's see what this month's opinions tell us.
Remember, there is a prize each month to the person who makes the best poll suggestion over in the Garage
