Top 5 Used Sedans Under ₱500,000

Opting for a 3–4-year-old used sedan under ₱500,000 in the Philippines offers a balance of modern features, reliability, and cost-effectiveness. Here are our top choices in the under ₱500,000 category.

Toyota Vios

The Toyota Vios is known for its reliability and low maintenance costs, plus the addition of having spare parts readily available almost anywhere in the Philippines. Depending on variant, it can even come with up to 7 airbags, and comes standard with ABS, vehicle stability control. It also comes with great resale value so you won’t lose too much when it comes to reselling it after a few years. Brand new, a Vios can cost up to about 1 million Pesos, but barely used examples can now be had for as low as 400,000 for the current generation. 

Honda City

The Honda City may not be the most affordable in its class, but it sure is the most fun to drive, and the most engaging as well. It has great space on the inside, and also comes with the best powertrain in its class. Just like a Toyota Vios, it’s a nameplate that’s been around for decades now, so looking for parts should be easy. Brand new, a Honda City, particularly its hatchback variant costs up to 1.2 million Pesos, but you can have great examples used for as low as ₱500,000 – ₱600,000.

Mitsubishi Mirage G4

Being a 3 cylinder vehicle and being extremely light, the Mitsubishi Mirage G4 makes for a great city cruiser. It’s compact, fuel efficient, and surprisingly spacious for its class. At just around ₱400,000 – ₱500,000 used, these make excellent value-for-money sedans 

Nissan Almera

The Nissan Almera is one of the most comfortable and tech-advanced cars in its class. Its spacious, and affordable to run as well. Now add to that the availability of a powerful 1.0L turbo variant, plus Nissan’s legendary cold air-conditioning system, and you have a perfect daily driving sedan. Used examples now go for around ₱380,000 which is a great deal for this vehicle.

MG 5

The MG 5 may not exactly be the top-of-mind vehicle in this segment for most people, but it deserves a spot here as another great underdog alternative that offers space, good price, especially used, and efficiency. It’s the largest in its class, being almost similarly sized to a Toyota Corolla, and is available with a unique huge cabin, better materials than its competitors, plus a comfortable ride. Great conditioned used examples can now be had for around 320,000 Pesos.

When looking for a car, a brand new one is always a good idea. Sure, it’s shiny and has a warranty, but second hand examples, particularly those that are just a few years old make perfect financial sense. What if I told you there’s even a way to get used cars that are also as shiny as brand new ones, and even come with a warranty? Meet Automart.PH Certified Vehicles. These cars, known as ACVs are barely used vehicles in tip top shape that looks like new, smells like new, and even come with warranties and money-back guarantees. Luckily too, we usually have the above used sedans available, together with an even larger selection which includes vans, pickup trucks, and SUVs. So check them out now at automart.ph, and drive home a virtually new car, without the hefty price tag.
