Zim car imports – Numbers & USD values (its big business)

Without an efficient public transport system, the only way that you can guarantee you can go from A to B in time is by car. That being said getting a vehicle of any kind is not that easy for most Zimbabweans. There aren't a lot of people in Zim with cash on hand (in USD) to buy a car, be it brand new or second-hand locally or via imports.

However, that hasn't deterred Zimbabweans from bringing them in through them by any means they know how. Additionally, you can't go a mile without seeing a car sale these days.

All of this then got us wondering... what do the numbers look like? That question is difficult to answer because a Google search will bring you next to nothing or foreign estimates of car imports into Zim.

But, in a fortuitous turn of events, at the Zimbabwe Agricultural Show, we talked to the team from the Zimbabwe National Statistics Agency (ZIMSTAT) and they were kind enough to provide the data we needed.
