Mtu aandike kitabu on how hawa majamaa wanaarrive at the insane prices that they quote on the various vehicles kwanza salvage. Napiga laps on various car market sites na naweza sema as much as Konyagi ameangusha shillingi broker nao ni nani, wasiliiangusha zaidi.

Swali tu ka salvage inaenda na ii bei kama ingekuwa in tip top condition si ingeuzwa na bei ya showroom banae

When I grow up/ in the next life I want to be a broker

What you need to know is that a vehicle is salvaged if the repair cost exceeds 50% of the insured value.
Let's take the Subaru for example. It's value when intact is around 1.8m. meaning repairs exceed 900k.
So, if you buy it, be ready to spend that amount to get it on the road
And that is hoping haijanyofolewa after the accident.

Do you know how insurers determine whether or not to write off a vehicle?
Ukijua ukuje tuongee.
Lakini sababu wewe unajua repairs za grogon huwezi elewa.

Kenya is a bandit economy. You should know that there are several competing interests in the insurance sector to use it as a yardstick in vehicle restoration.

Either way, it's not cheap to restore that car
Nosecut 140k
Headlights 50k
Windshield 18k
Side mirror 27k
Bonnet 30k

Add the rest.

Wajinga ndio waliwao. 2012 nilinunua Subaru nikajichocha eti naenda Subaru Kenya for a quote ya suspension overhaul na major service. Quote ilikuwa well over 200k. Settled on subatech motors for spares and DIY for labour. Nilitumia kitu 83k kubadilisha shocks, springs, mountings and threw in some brake pads and major service parts. Nilisema khandi tawe.
