Keen observers of the local automotive industry will tell you of the upcoming realization of Uhuru Kenyatta's National Automotive Policy which aims to bias said industry more towards local content with less reliance on external factors.

One would thus assume that used car importers should be facing the future with cautious enthusiasm mixed with just a touch of dread at the looming threat of extinction.

Not BE FORWARD.

The Japanese firm is not only bullish about the scene, they're backing this positivity up and doubling down on their efforts by ramping up their local operations.

One would thus assume either they know something we don't; or they take liquid lunches down at the office and it's starting to show.

Oddly enough, the logic behind the expansion is as wholesomely beautiful as it is elegantly simple; and one can't help but wish more people followed this style of thinking.

Read more about BE FORWARD in this brief insight they allowed me to have into their existence, including tolerating some questions from our end. The document is free to download so do share it widely as well

PRE-PURCHASE INSPECTION, POST-PURCHASE INTROSPECTION

Everybody is talking of pre-purchase inspections, nobody is talking about what happens AFTER. Passing a test doesn't necessarily mean success in life.

Here at MPA we offered something called Service De Concierge, which combined pre-purchase inspection AND a post-purchase warranty from as far back as 2019.

Fast forward six years and that service has scaled up into a strong partnership with Axios Risk Solutions Ltd as the fabric that holds this framework together and ICEA Lion Group as the underwriter.

Good morning, good people!

We could sit here and spew a rich mixture of buzzwords and marketing spiel in an attempt to bore you into submission, but the rich mixtures that interest us are found in combustion chambers. We are petrolheads.

And as petrolheads, we love cars. And matters of love sometimes defy logic or rationale ("k**a amependa, amependa"). And just like in romance, sometimes red flags - implied and apparent or blatant and unequivocal - make our minds reject what the heart really wants.

Pine no more, Alfa Romeo 159 & Giulietta. The BMW flatbed jokes, the Range Rover telephone number invoices and the CX5 trolling from Central Africa can now be shooed away with a wave of the hand and a contract. There is a way around the demon of "maintenance costs", and that is by use of extended warranty.

"Na uta afford maintenance kweli?"
"Wewe usijali"

This is how your conversations should go from now on.

Welcome to the world of extended motor warranties.
Welcome to the world of Axios, ICEA and MPA.
Welcome to the world of peaceful motoring.

Friday: this post also serves as an AMA (Ask Me Anything) for this product. For the hard numbers, we have a calculator so you can check out how much an extended warranty for YOUR car will cost. Find the calculator here:

Welcome to a new world.

Survey
Good morning,

Now, over the past several months we may have let slip that MPA is working on bringing some new things into the local automotive industry through the establishment of strategic partnerships. Well, the rollout is about to start and this is the first of several surveys that we will be doing to fully optimize the value addition that we will be presenting.

"I have 21 Questions and they're all about us," as 50 Cent so famously crooned. The 21 Questions are the first survey which should give you a hint of what we want to roll out initially, with more to come.

And who is "us"? "We" are the Kenyan motorists. So, down to bidness:
Are you a Kenyan motorist?
Are you a vehicle owner?
Are you a fleet operator?
Are you a car dealer?
If you fall into any of these four clusters, we hereby request that you participate in our survey (link below). Your privacy is fully guaranteed (we are not even collecting KYCs, the survey is fully anonymous) and your input is critically needed. We will greatly appreciate your feedback.
As mentioned, the survey consists of 21 Questions, majority of which are multiple choice so it will not take up much of your time.

Let's get it on

It has been quite a journey and the Motoring Press Agency is proud to not only have been part of the journey, but to STILL be part of it.

To many more, Isuzu.
