The price ranges on this page are approximate asking prices collected from used-car listings on the market in early October 2026. They are not agreed sale prices, and they are not this website's valuation. The real price of each car depends on the trim, mileage, condition and history. Owners selling their own car often ask less than professional sellers.
Your budget should not equal the price of the car
Costs start the day you get the car: the transfer fee, insurance, the first service, and tires or a battery that are often due right then. Keep about one tenth of your budget aside, then look for a car at the price that is left.
The older the car, the more reserve you need. For a car over 10 years old, keep a separate pot of repair money as well. See the full list of yearly costs at What does owning a car cost?
If you plan to finance, work back from the monthly payment
If you are financing, start from a monthly payment you can afford every month, then turn it into a car price. Do not choose the car first and then hope the payment works out.
If you finance a 300,000 baht car with a 60,000 baht down payment, a flat interest rate of 6% per year and 60 monthly payments, the payment comes to about 5,200 baht per month. This is a rough figure for planning only. Real interest rates on used cars depend on the age of the car and the lender. You can change the numbers in the car loan calculator.
The car search on this website can filter by monthly payment and the down payment you have, using the same assumptions.
Newer year or bigger car: how to choose
Every budget always has two options: a smaller car that is newer, or a bigger car that is older.
- A newer small car costs less in fuel, insurance, tires and repairs, has more life left, and is easier to finance.
- An older big car gives more space, stability and features, but every cost item is higher, and major components start reaching the end of their life.
If you still cannot decide, read Which model to buy as your first car, which walks through choosing the type of car from how you really use it. If you are interested in an electric car at the same budget, see Electric cars: which models fit your budget.
Found the right model? What to do next
- Ask the seller everything before you go to see the car: the registration book (lem tabien), finance and history.
- Inspect the car yourself and check whether the mileage makes sense.
- Check whether it is a flood-damaged car.
- Do not transfer money before you have seen the car and the real registration book.
- Prepare the documents for the transfer day.
Frequently asked questions
Where do the prices on this page come from?
They were collected from asking prices in used-car listings in early October 2026. They are approximate ranges, not real sale prices, and not this website's valuation. Check prices against real listings again before you decide.
Why can the same model from the same year differ in price by 100,000 baht or more?
Because the trim, gearbox, mileage, condition and accident history differ. A base manual version with high mileage and a top-spec version with low mileage and a full service center history can differ a lot in price.
Does this website inspect the cars in the listings?
No. This website is a listing platform. It does not inspect the condition, mileage or history of any car. Buyers must go and see and check every car themselves.
