Carmart Mombasa / Used Subaru Forester Nairobi

Used Subaru Forester for sale, delivered to Nairobi.

The Subaru Forester is a favourite with Nairobi buyers who want all-wheel drive without stepping up to a big 4x4. It is practical, safe and very capable on wet and rough roads.

The Forester in Nairobi

Why the Forester suits Nairobi

Every Forester has Subaru's symmetrical all-wheel drive as standard, which gives excellent grip on wet tarmac and murram. It is ideal for Nairobi families who head upcountry or live where roads get muddy in the rains.

Most Foresters on the market are the SJ generation (2012 to 2018), with a 2.0 litre petrol or the 2.0 turbo XT, and the SK generation (from 2018) with a 2.5 litre petrol or the e-Boxer hybrid. All use a CVT automatic gearbox.

Before you buy

What to check on a used Forester

  • Ask when the CVT fluid was last changed and check for any jerking or whining
  • All four tyres must be the same brand, size and wear, to protect the all-wheel-drive system
  • Check for oil leaks and ask about oil consumption
  • On the turbo XT, check for smoke and ask about service history

We are happy to show you any of these on a live WhatsApp video call before you decide.

Questions

Subaru Forester questions

Is the Forester expensive to maintain?

Not if it is serviced on time. Use a mechanic who knows Subarus, change the CVT fluid as recommended and keep all four tyres matched.

Forester or RAV4?

The Forester comes with all-wheel drive as standard and is very capable in the wet. The RAV4 has stronger resale value and wider parts availability. Both are good choices.

Can you deliver a Subaru Forester to Nairobi?

Yes. Delivery by car carrier to Nairobi is estimated at KES 20,000 to 30,000 depending on the size of the vehicle, and we confirm the exact delivered price in writing before you pay. Choose your Forester and see it on a live WhatsApp video call first. You can also collect it from our showroom on Haile Selassie Avenue, opposite Quickmart, Mombasa.

How do I pay for the car?

Payment is made in full before delivery, to Carmart Mombasa's official account only. We only share payment details from our official number, +254 711 832 043. Call us to confirm before sending any money.

How is the logbook transferred?

The transfer is done through NTSA on eCitizen, so you do not need to travel to Mombasa. You will see the vehicle and the transfer in your own eCitizen account.
