With Zen Cars Import, you’re not just importing a vehicle — you’re accessing Japan’s highest-grade inventory with full transparency, professional inspection, and end-to-end handling until delivery in Kenya.
Every vehicle we import follows a controlled, step-by-step process designed to eliminate guesswork and protect your investment.
Zen Cars Import works with private buyers, corporates, and diplomatic clients who demand quality, accuracy, and accountability. We assess condition reports, confirm originality, and verify mileage before any MERCEDES BENZ S CLASS is approved for export.
The result is a vehicle that arrives exactly as expected — clean, compliant, and ready for Kenyan roads.
Car Imports. Done Properly.
What determines the total import cost?
Pricing is influenced by exchange rates, shipping fees,
inspection requirements, and applicable KRA duties.
We provide a detailed cost breakdown covering C&F,
clearance, and delivery before you proceed.
How long does the import process take?
Most imports are completed within 6–8 weeks,
from purchase confirmation in Japan to delivery in Nairobi,
subject to shipping schedules and port processing.
Why import from Japan instead of buying locally?
Japanese-sourced vehicles typically offer lower mileage,
better maintenance history, higher specifications,
and documented inspection reports — giving you more control
over what you buy.
