In the Zanzibar region, car prices on GariPesa usually start from about TSh 9M for smaller used cars and can reach up to around TSh 24M for larger SUVs, 4x4s and premium models, especially those close to showroom condition.
Most cars listed in Zanzibar fall between model years 2000 and 2013, with the average price sitting close to TSh 16.3M. Newer low-mileage vehicles or those that are near showroom level usually sit above this average, while older used cars with higher mileage tend to be below it.
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.
We recommend comparing listings from Zanzibar with cars from Dar es Salaam and other regions on GariPesa so you can see whether local prices for used and near-showroom cars are higher or lower than the wider Tanzanian market.
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.
