• Model year- most cars have a new model released each year, most of the time, a new model will come with new features, additionally, a new car is obviously in better condition. As a result, newer car models come at a higher price than the older models.

• Features differences- cars will be on the same trims levels but still have different features, for example, one might be a 2WD and the other a 4WD. In Kenya, most people prefer 2WD for sedans and hatchbacks, this means the prices of 2WD cars will be higher because of higher demand. On the other hand, 4WD/AWD crossover SUVs and SUVs are loved, this means 2WD in this category have less demand hence lower prices.

• Market conditions- different market conditions lead to changes in the prices of vehicles, for example, if the global supply chains are interrupted, car prices are likely to go up.
