Media personality and Kiss FM radio host Kamene Goro has narrated how she acquired her Mercedes-Benz E 350.
According to her, she didn’t have the money to buy a high-end luxury car when she started looking for one, but she knew she wanted one.
Speaking to comedian 2Mbili she narrated, “I bought it in 2020, It was not in my plan to buy this car, I got myself in some issues that I had to organise myself and get another car.”
Kamene added, “Interesting story, I paid a deposit of 5K. At the time, I did not have cash – I was driving a Kiss FM car – so when we found the car, I talked to the guy, he is called Johnnie Wheels, I told him I like the car.
Fearing she would lose the car, Kamene persuaded the salesman to take a Ksh 5,000 deposit and wait for the rest of the money.
“He asked me to pay the deposit, I told him, that at the moment I had 6k in my Mpesa and if I can send him 5k then I remain with the 1k to fuel the car.”
He consented to the deal for whatever reason after Kamene assured she would return a few weeks later to pay the rest of the money.
“I told him to give me some time, like 2 weeks I will find a way to make it work. That was the first time, I moved millions. After I paid I told him, now we don’t have food to eat so he took us to a local to eat, we had soup.
She went to say, “I have had it for a year and a half now. This is my third car but the first one I bought for myself. The first car was a Benz an E200 and the second one was a Benz C180.”
Kamene’s choice to purchase the car was not without opposition.
“People were telling me ‘Oohhh you don’t have to, there are cheaper options, oh you can get a smaller one’.
But I think, honestly if you can, and you are going to give something to yourself, give yourself the best, ni kitu yako, you are the one who will use it, so why not give yourself something good if you can?”
