Match the model to the rules

A good car for one market can be ineligible in another. For example, Trinidad & Tobago allows personal hybrids only up to three years old, while Kenya counts eight years from first registration. Always start with your country page.

Each model has a sourcing guide under Vehicles in the menu.

Your next steps

  1. Check your country’s age and steering rules.
  2. Pick two or three models that fit.
  3. Set grade and mileage targets.
