More Clients Speak Out Against Troubled City Vehicle Dealership
Embattled car dealer Khalif Kairo is facing growing backlash as more dissatisfied customers come forward with complaints about his business practices.
One of the latest complaints surfaced on a Reddit thread where a customer recounted the details of his dealings with the businessman.
After an accident in August 2023, the man sought to purchase a new vehicle through the dealership.
By early September, he had identified the car and paid a deposit of 2.5 million shillings, with the balance due upon delivery in 45 days.
However, as October approached, rumours reportedly began circulating that Kairo had failed to deliver a Ksh 25 million shilling Range Rover to another customer, sparking doubts about the dealer’s ability to fulfill promises.
Despite the concerns, Kairo reassured the customer by showing proof of payment to suppliers in Japan, assuring that the car would be shipped by the end of the week.
While the car was eventually placed on a ship, it didn’t reach the port by the expected late October arrival date.
Instead, the car only reached port on December 21st.
Throughout this period, the customer remained patient, confident that Kairo had made the necessary payments to his suppliers and that clearing the vehicle at the port was the final step.
However, in a devastating turn of events, it was revealed that Kairo had failed to pay his suppliers in Japan, prompting them to threaten auctioning the vehicles to recover their money.
The matter is now in court.
This latest complaint is just one of many that have surfaced in recent months.
Other customers have similarly reported long delays and unmet promises, with some accusing Kairo of using their deposits to fund personal ventures.
"Last year, Mr. manz had an accident on 25 August. On the first week of September he began the process of acquiring a new vehicle through kairo.
The car was identified and he proceeded to pay the deposit. The car was worth 5 mics cap he paid half and the rest would be paid 45 days later, when we expected the vehicle to be delivered.
Sometime in October, there was a rumor online that kairo had failed to deliver a Range Rover worth 25 mic, and I advised man’s to follow up on the car he ordered and if possible seek a refund since at that point he had not managed to book space for the car on the ship.
Man’s went to see kairo and he told him that he had already made payment on the vehicle and it should be on the ship by end of week. He even proceeded to show him proof of payment.
Kairo managed to get the car on the ship but rather than the vehicle arriving in late October it got to the port on 21st December. All through man’s has been patient and was also confident that the guy had made payment to the suppliers in Japan, so the only remaining part would be to clear the car at the port.
Fast forward to last week, we learn that kairo has not paid suppliers in Japan and so they want to auction the vehicles to recover their money 🥲
Now the matter is in court and from his defense he is blaming competitors and is busy online seeking for sympathy. And when I see people telling him he will overcome, it just pisses me off, because what about the rest of the guys who paid deposits and have not received their cars for the last 6 months??"
