Looking at Tanzania as a whole, cars listed on GariPesa often start from around TSh 3M for smaller everyday used cars and can go up to about TSh 750M for large SUVs, 4x4s and premium vehicles that are close to showroom condition.
Across the country you will see a wide mix of model years, roughly between 1994 and 2025, with the average price sitting around TSh 53.2M. Older, higher-mileage used cars tend to sit below this level, while newer low-mileage vehicles and showroom cars are usually higher.
Registration class also has a strong impact on price. Unregistered cars with full duty already paid are usually the most expensive, very close to showroom pricing, because the buyer gets a fresh import and can choose a new plate. Cars with plates such as Namba E, D, C, B or A tend to be cheaper, and as the letter goes down (for example from E to A) the market price normally drops as well.
Instead of relying on one yard or dealer, use GariPesa to compare used and near-showroom cars from different regions in Tanzania so you can negotiate with confidence and avoid overpaying.
GariPesa is an online car marketplace that connects buyers and sellers across Tanzania. You can search cars by make, model, region, price and more, then contact the seller directly via phone or WhatsApp.
Before buying, inspect the car in person, have it checked by a mechanic, review its service history and verify documents like the registration card and a proper sale agreement. Avoid sending money without meeting the seller in a safe public place.
At the moment GariPesa is a classifieds platform and does not hold money on behalf of buyers or sellers. Payments are made directly between both parties. We recommend using written agreements and meeting in safe locations.
Avoid deals that look too good to be true, never send money without seeing the car and verifying all details, and do not accept to meet in risky places. Use official communication channels and make sure the name on payment matches the seller’s details.
Yes. You can use filters such as minimum and maximum price, year, condition and region to see cars that match your budget and needs. You can also compare several listings for the same model before deciding.
