"What can I get for my budget?" is the question we hear most. It's also the one most car sites dodge with "prices vary". So here are real numbers. Below are the used cars for sale in Nairobi on our own showroom floor, grouped by budget, as listed in October 2026.
Prices move as stock sells and new cars land, so treat this as a snapshot. The patterns hold, though.
Under KSh 2 million: city cars and first cars
| Car | Year | Mileage | Engine | Price (KSh) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Nissan Dayz | 2019 | 79,000 km | 650 cc | 1,250,000 |
| Nissan Note e-Power | 2019 | 41,000 km | 1,200 cc | 1,500,000 |
| Mazda Demio | 2019 | 23,000 km | 1,500 cc | 1,500,000 |
| Toyota Axio | 2019 | 77,000 km | 1,500 cc | 1,900,000 |
This band is about small engines and low running costs. The Demio stands out for its mileage: 23,000 km on a 2019 car is low. The Axio is the one to look at if you need a proper boot.

|---|---|---|---|
| Volkswagen Golf | 2019 | 40,000 km | 2,350,000 |
