Why Automart.PH?
Used cars, second-hand cars, repossessed cars, segunda-mano cars, pre-owned cars – however you call it – there’s lots out there and there are many places you can buy them. Despite these choices, Automart.PH is the best place for you to buy your dream car. We have thousands of cheap, high quality used and repossessed cars available online. Get rock-bottom prices via auction, or buy the vehicles immediately.
What are the Benefits When Buying from Automart.PH?
Best, Lowest Possible Prices - Walang Patong
We partner with institutions like banks or rental car companies to dispose their cars for them. We promise never to add a markup to the prices given to us by our partners - this way, you will always get the best, lowest possible prices.
Importantly, Automart.PH deals primarily in second-hand or used cars, and repossessed cars. This means that the cars you can buy from us are very well-priced. Conventional wisdom states that one loses 35% of the value of a car on its first year! Imagine getting a 35% discount on an almost brand-new car? Those are the deals you get from Automart.PH.
Expert Advice and Information
Our website has loads of information readily available for you, so you can do your home shopping and shortlisting even before going to the car lot.
Further, Automart.PH has professionally trained car advisers that will help you find used cars that will fit your needs and your budget. This is always free of charge, and part of the service we provide. We also have expert mechanics that can help you in your car inspection, so that you will make the right choice. They can help look at the car for you and discuss their expert opinion with you on the car. A minimal hourly fee applies if you’d like this personalized service.
Installment or Financing
Installment/ hulugan/ financing are available. The exact financing terms depend on which financing institution, and on which exact cars. As a rule of thumb though, installment options are available at thirty percent (30%) downpayment and up to four (4) years to pay. See details and requirements here: Car Loan Guide
That said, paying in cash or manager’s check ensures that you can get your car ASAP, without any delays. Financing transactions usually mean a 1-month waiting period sometimes more) before the car can be released to you.
Automated convenience
As above, we’ve automated to make it easy to buy or win the auction for your dream vehicle.
Many cars have a “Buy Now” option, so you can buy and drive home the unit immediately without going through a weekly auction. Some cars go through a bidding or auction, so you can get the lowest possible price for the unit.
Automart.PH’s auctions are fully automated and online. You do not need to go to a hot, treeless parking lot just to buy your car. You also don’t need to watch your bids closely nor wait until the last second to bid. Simply enter the highest price you’re willing to pay and our robots will do the rest. We'll also notify you of bid results.
Anytime, anywhere, any device
Gone are the days when you need to trek far away and sit in the sun just to bid on a vehicle auction, or buy a repossessed unit from a bank. Browse, bid, buy now and win from your phone, tablet or desktop – on the bus, your couch or even from abroad. You can bid on cars far away, and just pick them up if you win. As mentioned, some cars are on “Buy Now” so you don’t need to participate in a bidding anymore.
Mechanic inspection
No more headaches! Buy with confidence and reassurance. We understand that quality assurance are big problems when buying used or second-hand cars. How would you know the quality of the vehicles? We work with expert mechanic-inspectors to grade the car based on a standardized checklist. This ensures you know exactly what you’re buying.
We charge P700 for the mechanic to accompany you in viewing the car. This is for one (1) hour, which is normally enough time for up to three (3) car inspections in one location, plus the discussion thereafter.
Security
No scams, just cars. We're partnered with the most reputable and biggest banks in the Philippines, to help them sell their cars. We make sure you have complete, original papers for all cars. We are incorporated in the Philippines. Also, we understand how important your data and privacy are. We’ve invested in making sure our website has robust security settings. We are compliant with the Philippines’ Data Privacy Act.

Notes:
How to Bid: You can participate in regular auctions without needing to make a deposit.Participation: Simply register for the auction and place your bids as instructed.
Requirements: There are no upfront deposit requirements for joining and bidding in the auction.

Is the car that I want still available?
Yes. If it's on the list, it's still available.
Can I buy the car immediately and not go through bidding? Is there a Buy Now option? Do I have to go through auction?
We have many cars that have a "buy now" tag which you can buy immediately. If there's no "buy now" price, it must go through bidding. Don't worry, you will still get a great price since there are many other cars for sale.
When can I pay for my car?
You can only pay for the unit once you receive the Payment Instruction Sheet (PIS). This is applicable for units on Buy Now or Auction. Processing time of Payment Instruction Sheet (PIS) is dependent on our partners, and some are faster than others.
If you win a unit on Auction, final bid winning results are normally announced three (3) working days up to one (1) week after the auction end date.
When can I get my car?
You can get the car within 5 to 7 banking days. Again, these are dependent on our partners’ staff; however, we do our best to make it as quick and painless for you.
Are prices negotiable?
No. We give you the lowest possible prices already. We have many other cars for all budget at Automart.PH though.
How can I schedule a car inspection? Where do we meet to inspect the car?
We have multiple locations, and we are adding more rapidly. Inspections are made by appointment only. Check our main website for the most up-to-date locations and times.
What cars does Automart.PH sell?
Automart.PH sells the best priced, great quality used, second-hand, repossessed and pre-owned cars. We believe that these are the best options for you in buying a used car.
Do you have vehicle shipping services? Do you offer vehicle delivery service?
No. You, the buyer, need to be the one to pull out the unit from the warehouse.
Financing Options
Is financing available?

Registration is completely free. You may still view cars even though you’re not registered.

Unit inspection is also completely free. There is no need to pay or deposit anything to look at the units.

No need for a deposit. Your account is already activated and ready for bidding and buy now. However, please note that some of our partners require a reservation deposit when a unit is awarded to you.
Is the deposit refundable?
The deposit will be deducted from the total amount you will pay for the unit; therefore, it is non-refundable. However, if you choose not to pursue the purchase of the car, your deposit will be forfeited.

Returns, Warranties and Insurance Policy
Do you allow returns of the unit?
Sorry, no. We follow our partners’ return policies with regard to the unit, and most banks do not allow returns for repossessed units. All units are sold on an as-is, where-is basis. We always endeavor to present the facts and conditions of the units as transparently as possible through photos, videos, inspections, etc.; however, neither Automart.PH nor our partners warrant the vehicle against defects or faults. Please exercise your due diligence and caution in buying units.
Are units still under warranty from the manufacturer?
Some units are still under the warranty period.
Are units still covered under insurance?
No. Insurance policies are for the former owner of the vehicle and do not transfer to the new owner. You must buy your own insurance. Please see insurance section above for more information
