So here are 7 online places you could land yourself your dream car;
Checki.co.ug
A division of One Africa Media, an internet company that operates and invests in market place websites in several African countries, check.co.ug is a great car classified site.

The website claims it boasts a great list of leading Japanese car dealers and importers to Uganda. The website has a vast category of vehicles, used and new to choose from. It also allows you to select a price range and model of the car you are looking for. Email and SMS alerts are available if you wish to receive instant notifications for specific cars that interest you. Checki is available on both web and mobile.
Beforward.jp
Beforward.jp is an actual car seller. The website enables you to browse through their wide catalog of vehicles in Japan, select your delivery city, and calculate price estimates. The online car seller has a local car bond in Kireka Kampala, but that’s only so you can pick your car, not buy one. Beforward.jp promises 6 weeks delivery time after the vessel’s departure from Japan. They provide tax consulting, vehicle clearance, car registration with URA, and insurance application for your ride. Sounds to be like they’re your “stress-free” car sellers.

After you accept the conditions, payment is done by Telegraphic Transfer (TT) and shipment is done to Mombasa. After that, it’s up to you to bring to Uganda. That aside, the website itself is so 1997, but hey, that could be where you land your dream ride.
Cars.co.ug
Cars.co.ug is a cars classified website just like Checki.co.ug. They do no directly sell cars themselves, but rather they connect car buyers with sellers through a web portal. The website claims to hold more than 1414 vehicles for sale, most of them used cars in Uganda from about 27 car dealers nationwide.
