As rising car ownership costs prompt more drivers to go the pre-owned route, used cars are expected to gain popularity. Here are some of the top second-hand car models to consider, along with tips on what to watch out for.\nBuying second-hand may not be your first choice when it comes to getting a car, but with COE prices looking to\nremain high in the near term\n, it may just be the only financially prudent option.\nBut it’s not all bad. The thriving second-car market in Singapore –\nexpected to achieve\n a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of over 4% till 2027 – means there’s plenty of great options to pick from.\nAlso, Singapore has a Lemon Law on used cars, which offers a degree of protection against an unscrupulous sale. (Although, the law\ndoesn't apply under specific circumstances\n, including if the deal was a direct one between buyer and seller.)\nBest of all, buying a second-hand car can\noffer several potential benefits\n, including avoiding the worst of the depreciation, and a significantly lower price.\nPlus, you won’t even have to go through the trouble of bidding for a new COE; you’ll simply take over what remains of the 10-year COE on the car you’re purchasing.\nConvinced? Start your hunt for your next cheap(er) ride with our pick of the best used car to buy in Singapore.\nCar model\nSelling price\nKia Cerato 1.6A\nS$93,588 (8 years remaining on COE)\nMini One 1.5A\nS$99,888 (6 years remaining on COE)\nSubaru Forester 2.0A XT  \nS$89,388 (5 years remaining on COE)\nMazda 3 Mild Hybrid 1.5A Classic\nS$100,888 (7 years remaining on COE)\nHonda Fit 1.3A GF\nS$89,888 (8 years remaining on COE)\nKia Cerato 1.6A\nWhen it was released in 2020, the Korean Kia Cerato quickly became a favourite for many Singaporean families. This is thanks to the model’s winning combination of spaciousness, convenient features, stylish design and economical 1.6 litre engine. In fact, some enthusiasts were so enamoured that they even\ndeclared the model the “Most Value for Money Sedan”\n.\nThis favourable proposition is only further strengthened if you can get the vehicle at less than full price – as is the case with\nthis listing\n that still has a full eight years left on its COE.\nGoing for S$93,588 (nearly 30% less than the brand-new price, which starts at S$126,999), a second-hand Kia Cerato offers unbeatable value for those looking for a modern family sedan easily capable of keeping up with all your needs.\nMini One 1.5A\nFor those who think there's nothing exciting to be found on the second-hand car market, this listing will make you reconsider. Check out\nthis Mini One 1.5A, going for under S$100,000\n, and with six years left on its COE to boot!\nA\nbrand new Mini One\n will set you back a cool S$165,888, so second-hand offers like this are just about as good a price as you can get. Yes, this is a 3-door model that caters to singles and young couples, but the diminutive chassis belies a larger-than-expected carrying capacity. Two more passengers – plus possibly a small dog – can fit in the back seat, accessible via the fold-down front seats.\nIn any case, if you’ve ever wanted to cooly zip about town in style without resorting to surviving on instant noodles, here’s your chance.\nSubaru Forester 2.0A XT\nAnother benefit of shopping for second-hand cars is the opportunity to own models that are no longer offered for sale. Such is the case with\nthis Subaru Forester 2.0A XT\n, a popular and well-regarded choice among lovers of sports utility vehicles (SUVs).\nFacelifted in 2016, the model is often praised for great all-round visibility, smooth handling, and decent mileage. Naturally, as a big-sized SUV, the Forester offers interior and boot space in abundance, making it ideal for family trips and passengers of all ages.\nThe listing we found has five years left on its COE at under S$90,000 – not too shabby considering a brand-new equivalent is going for\nat least S$161,800\n. Consider this one up if you’re looking for a family-friendly ride with a sturdy, powerful profile.  \nMazda 3 Mild Hybrid 1.5A Classic\nOur\nnext listing\n has many things going for it. For one, it’s a hybrid car, which means driving around in this vehicle will result in lower emission of greenhouse gases. For another, it comes with interior stylings and accessories that rival some pricier models. And for a third, this car still has a healthy 7 years and 8 months left on its COE at the time of writing.\nThe premium feel of the car is further enhanced by its luxurious good looks (indeed, some have noted this model to be the best-looking sedan in its class), and when you factor in the asking price of just over S$100,000, this second-hand car whispers “affordable luxury” from bonnet to tailpipe.\nFor comparison, a brand-new model will cost you\nS$140,888, or around 40% more\n.  \nHonda Fit 1.3A GF\nIf you don’t mind an older model,\nthis Honda Fit 1.3A GF\n – at under S$90,000 and with eight years left on its COE, no less – might be worth your consideration.\nYou may know the Honda Fit as that sporty Japanese hatch-back that suddenly everyone seems to be driving in the early 2000s. Since then, the model has enjoyed enduring popularity, with the Fit now in its fourth generation.\nA major factor contributing to this car’s beloved status is how it offers cargo volume comparable to larger vehicles, despites its relatively compact size. This was due to the innovative seats put in by Honda, which are designed to be folded in several configurations.\nFlexible, nimble and economic – thanks to its 1.3l engine – the Honda Fit is well-geared towards the needs of city dwellers.\nWhat to look out for when buying a second-hand car in Singapore\nHere are some things to pay attention to when buying a second-hand car – other than the general appearance and overall state of the vehicle, that is.\nOwnership history\nIf the vehicle you’re interested in has had multiple owners – especially in a short period of time – take heed. You might be rolling the dice on a vehicle with persistent problems.\nIt is common for some older cars to have changed hands two or three times, especially luxury or high-end models However, a mass-market model having had four or more owners in the span of two years should be treated with suspicion.\nAt the very least, find out as much detail as possible about why the car has gone through so many owners, before deciding whether to proceed with the purchase.\nMileage\nThe mileage on a car is usually a reliable gauge of its lifespan. We say usually, because, unfortunately\nmileage tampering isn’t unheard of\n in Singapore.\nMileage tampering is when an unscrupulous dealer alters the odometer readings to hide the true mileage of the car. As higher mileage causes greater wear and tear, this can stick you with a car that breaks down soon after, costing you a hefty repair bill.\nAccurate mileage readings are also important for\nusage-based car insurance policies\n, where your premiums are calculated based on the number of kilometers you drive.\nAs a general guide, cars in Singapore clock an\naverage of 20,000 km per year\n, so if a vehicle’s odometer displays a significantly lower mileage, you should investigate further.\nYou should also check for mileage tampering by:\nCross-checking with maintenance and servicing records\nLooking for misaligned numbers or visual discrepancies on the odometer\nNotice if any screws are missing on the dashboard\nGetting an independent evaluation from a trusted third party\nAccident history\nSomeone trying to sell you their used car may not be the most forthcoming about a previous accident. Or may try to downplay things and hope you won’t pry further.\nAs such, it is a good idea to order a professional check up with organisations such as\nSTAI\n or\nVicom\n. They can better ascertain if a used-car had been involved in an accident before, the severity of the damage caused, as well as cross-reference records using the vehicles’ engine or chassis number.\nThis will give you a better idea of the state of the used car, and whether you should go ahead with the purchase.\nConclusion\nThe listings we’ve highlighted are merely examples to illustrate the potential benefits and value of shopping for a vehicle on the used car market in Singapore.\nOf course, there’s no objective way to say definitively which car models are the best used car to buy in Singapore; what’s best for you will depend on your needs, preferences and budget.\nAnd while there are definitely gems to be found, it’s still important to err on the side of caution.","attrs_markdown":"menu\n\n[![SingSaver-Coloured-logo-updated](https:\/\/www.singsaver.com.sg\/hubfs\/SingSaver-Coloured-logo-updated.png)](https:\/\/www.singsaver.com.sg\/)\n\nclose\n\n- [Credit Card]()\n  -

As rising car ownership costs prompt more drivers to go the pre-owned route, used cars are expected to gain popularity. Here are some of the top second-hand car models to consider, along with tips on what to watch out for.\n\nBuying second-hand may not be your first choice when it comes to getting a car, but with COE prices looking to [remain high in the near term](https:\/\/www.todayonline.com\/singapore\/industry-watchers-expect-coe-prices-keep-rising-possibly-till-2023-after-open-category-premiums-hit-s99999-1867986), it may just be the only financially prudent option.\n\nBut it’s not all bad. The thriving second-car market in Singapore – [expected to achieve](https:\/\/www.mordorintelligence.com\/industry-reports\/singapore-used-car-market) a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of over 4% till 2027 – means there’s plenty of great options to pick from.\n\nAlso, Singapore has a Lemon Law on used cars, which offers a degree of protection against an unscrupulous sale. (Although, the law [doesn't apply under specific circumstances](https:\/\/www.motorist.sg\/article\/4\/4-lemon-law-facts-on-used-car-purchases), including if the deal was a direct one between buyer and seller.)\n\nBest of all, buying a second-hand car can [offer several potential benefits](https:\/\/www.singsaver.com.sg\/blog\/buying-a-second-hand-car-in-singapore), including avoiding the worst of the depreciation, and a significantly lower price.\n\nPlus, you won’t even have to go through the trouble of bidding for a new COE; you’ll simply take over what remains of the 10-year COE on the car you’re purchasing.\n\nConvinced? Start your hunt for your next cheap(er) ride with our pick of the best used car to buy in Singapore.\n\n[**Find the Best Car Insurance for You**](https:\/\/www.singsaver.com.sg\/car-insurance)\n\n## Best second-hand cars in Singapore\n|   |   |\n|---|---|\n| **Car model** | **Selling price** |\n| Kia Cerato 1.6A | S\\$93,588 (8 years remaining on COE) |\n| Mini One 1.5A | S\\$99,888 (6 years remaining on COE) |\n| Subaru Forester 2.0A XT | S\\$89,388 (5 years remaining on COE) |\n| Mazda 3 Mild Hybrid 1.5A Classic | S\\$100,888 (7 years remaining on COE) |\n| Honda Fit 1.3A GF | S\\$89,888 (8 years remaining on COE) |\n\n******[![25-0663\\_IN BLOG ARTICLE PROMO BANNER\\_1360x480-KV2\\_V1](https:\/\/www.singsaver.com.sg\/hs-fs\/hubfs\/25-0663_IN%20BLOG%20ARTICLE%20PROMO%20BANNER_1360x480-KV2_V1.png?width=1360&height=480&name=25-0663_IN%20BLOG%20ARTICLE%20PROMO%20BANNER_1360x480-KV2_V1.png)](https:\/\/www.singsaver.com.sg\/car-insurance?&utm_source=inblogbanner&utm_medium=organic&utm_campaign=2026Q2_SSCI_S$200SureWinPetrolvouchers)******\n\n******SIG Car Insurance Promotion:****** Apply now and receive the following rewards below:\n\n- **Sure Win Petrol Giveaway:** Get up to S\\$200 worth of Petrol vouchers with min \\$1200 premiums.

This is thanks to the model’s winning combination of spaciousness, convenient features, stylish design and economical 1.6 litre engine. In fact, some enthusiasts were so enamoured that they even [declared the model the “Most Value for Money Sedan”](https:\/\/carro.sg\/blog\/kia-cerato-car-review\/).\n\nThis favourable proposition is only further strengthened if you can get the vehicle at less than full price – as is the case with [this listing](https:\/\/carro.sg\/cars\/kia\/cerato\/kia-cerato-1-6a-lx\/DL8Q3N) that still has a full eight years left on its COE.\n\nGoing for S\\$93,588 (nearly 30% less than the brand-new price, which starts at S\\$126,999), a second-hand Kia Cerato offers unbeatable value for those looking for a modern family sedan easily capable of keeping up with all your needs.\n\n### Mini One 1.5A\nFor those who think there's nothing exciting to be found on the second-hand car market, this listing will make you reconsider. Check out [this Mini One 1.5A, going for under S\\$100,000](https:\/\/carro.sg\/cars\/mini\/one\/mini-one-1-5a\/G96N2N), and with six years left on its COE to boot\\!\n\nA [brand new Mini One](https:\/\/secure.mini.com.sg\/pricelist\/) will set you back a cool S\\$165,888, so second-hand offers like this are just about as good a price as you can get. Yes, this is a 3-door model that caters to singles and young couples, but the diminutive chassis belies a larger-than-expected carrying capacity. Two more passengers – plus possibly a small dog – can fit in the back seat, accessible via the fold-down front seats.\n\nIn any case, if you’ve ever wanted to cooly zip about town in style without resorting to surviving on instant noodles, here’s your chance.\n\n### Subaru Forester 2.0A XT\nAnother benefit of shopping for second-hand cars is the opportunity to own models that are no longer offered for sale. Such is the case with [this Subaru Forester 2.0A XT](https:\/\/carro.sg\/cars\/subaru\/forester\/subaru-forester-2-0a-xt-sunroof\/EZNP22), a popular and well-regarded choice among lovers of sports utility vehicles (SUVs).\n\nFacelifted in 2016, the model is often praised for great all-round visibility, smooth handling, and decent mileage. Naturally, as a big-sized SUV, the Forester offers interior and boot space in abundance, making it ideal for family trips and passengers of all ages.\n\nThe listing we found has five years left on its COE at under S\\$90,000 – not too shabby considering a brand-new equivalent is going for [at least S\\$161,800](https:\/\/www.oneshift.com\/new-cars\/forester-es-20l-eyesight-awd-a#overview). Consider this one up if you’re looking for a family-friendly ride with a sturdy, powerful profile.\n\n**TIQ Car Insurance Promotion:** Enjoy **S\\$30 petrol vouchers** when you apply now. Valid till 30 April 2026. [T\\&Cs apply.](https:\/\/singsaver.link\/car-insurance-rewards-campaign)\n\n[**Buy Now**](https:\/\/singsaver.link\/tiq-ci)\n\n### Mazda 3 Mild Hybrid 1.5A Classic\nOur [next listing](https:\/\/carro.sg\/cars\/mazda\/mazda3\/mazda-3-mild-hybrid-1-5a-classic\/EWKJPM) has many things going for it. For one, it’s a hybrid car, which means driving around in this vehicle will result in lower emission of greenhouse gases. For another, it comes with interior stylings and accessories that rival some pricier models. And for a third, this car still has a healthy 7 years and 8 months left on its COE at the time of writing.\n\nThe premium feel of the car is further enhanced by its luxurious good looks (indeed, some have noted this model to be the best-looking sedan in its class), and when you factor in the asking price of just over S\\$100,000, this second-hand car whispers “affordable luxury” from bonnet to tailpipe.\n\nFor comparison, a brand-new model will cost you [S\\$140,888, or around 40% more](https:\/\/www.sgcarmart.com\/new_cars\/newcars_pricing.php?CarCode=12485).\n\nHonda Fit 1.3A GF\n\nIf you don’t mind an older model, [this Honda Fit 1.3A GF](https:\/\/carro.sg\/cars\/honda\/fit\/honda-fit-1-3a-gf\/G34V4J) – at under S\\$90,000 and with eight years left on its COE, no less – might be worth your consideration.\n\nYou may know the Honda Fit as that sporty Japanese hatch-back that suddenly everyone seems to be driving in the early 2000s. Since then, the model has enjoyed enduring popularity, with the Fit now in its fourth generation.\n\nA major factor contributing to this car’s beloved status is how it offers cargo volume comparable to larger vehicles, despites its relatively compact size. This was due to the innovative seats put in by Honda, which are designed to be folded in several configurations.\n\nFlexible, nimble and economic – thanks to its 1.3l engine – the Honda Fit is well-geared towards the needs of city dwellers.\n\n[**Compare the Best Car Insurance in Singapore**](https:\/\/www.singsaver.com.sg\/insurance\/car-insurance)\n\n## What to look out for when buying a second-hand car in Singapore\nHere are some things to pay attention to when buying a second-hand car – other than the general appearance and overall state of the vehicle, that is.\n\n[**Find the Best Car Insurance for You**](https:\/\/www.singsaver.com.sg\/car-insurance)\n\n### Ownership history\nIf the vehicle you’re interested in has had multiple owners – especially in a short period of time – take heed. You might be rolling the dice on a vehicle with persistent problems.\n\nIt is common for some older cars to have changed hands two or three times, especially luxury or high-end models However, a mass-market model having had four or more owners in the span of two years should be treated with suspicion.\n\nAt the very least, find out as much detail as possible about why the car has gone through so many owners, before deciding whether to proceed with the purchase.\n\n### Mileage\nThe mileage on a car is usually a reliable gauge of its lifespan. We say usually, because, unfortunately [mileage tampering isn’t unheard of](https:\/\/www.straitstimes.com\/singapore\/transport\/dealer-who-sold-car-with-tampered-odometer-wins-case) in Singapore.\n\nMileage tampering is when an unscrupulous dealer alters the odometer readings to hide the true mileage of the car. As higher mileage causes greater wear and tear, this can stick you with a car that breaks down soon after, costing you a hefty repair bill. Accurate mileage readings are also important for [usage-based car insurance policies](https:\/\/www.singsaver.com.sg\/blog\/usage-based-car-insurance-vs-mileage-based-pay-per-mile), where your premiums are calculated based on the number of kilometers you drive.\n\nAs a general guide, cars in Singapore clock an [average of 20,000 km per year](https:\/\/www.motorist.sg\/ask-motorists\/109\/how-much-mileage-is-considered-as-a-39-high-39-mileage), so if a vehicle’s odometer displays a significantly lower mileage, you should investigate further.\n\nYou should also check for mileage tampering by:\n\n- Cross-checking with maintenance and servicing records\n- Looking for misaligned numbers or visual discrepancies on the odometer\n- Notice if any screws are missing on the dashboard\n- Getting an independent evaluation from a trusted third party\n\n**Singlife Car Insurance Promotion:** Get **20% off** premiums when you use the promo code **CAR20** (for new customers and annual plan only) when you buy Singlife Car Insurance.

As rising car ownership costs prompt more drivers to go the pre-owned route, used cars are expected to gain popularity. Here are some of the top second-hand car models to consider, along with tips on what to watch out for. Buying second-hand may not be your first choice when it comes to getting a car, but with COE prices looking to [remain high in the near term](https:\/\/www.todayonline.com\/singapore\/industry-watchers-expect-coe-prices-keep-rising-possibly-till-2023-after-open-category-premiums-hit-s99999-1867986), it may just be the only financially prudent option. But it’s not all bad. The thriving second-car market in Singapore – [expected to achieve](https:\/\/www.mordorintelligence.com\/industry-reports\/singapore-used-car-market) a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of over 4% till 2027 – means there’s plenty of great options to pick from. Also, Singapore has a Lemon Law on used cars, which offers a degree of protection against an unscrupulous sale. (Although, the law [doesn't apply under specific circumstances](https:\/\/www.motorist.sg\/article\/4\/4-lemon-law-facts-on-used-car-purchases), including if the deal was a direct one between buyer and seller.) Best of all, buying a second-hand car can [offer several potential benefits](https:\/\/www.singsaver.com.sg\/blog\/buying-a-second-hand-car-in-singapore), including avoiding the worst of the depreciation, and a significantly lower price. Plus, you won’t even have to go through the trouble of bidding for a new COE; you’ll simply take over what remains of the 10-year COE on the car you’re purchasing. Convinced? Start your hunt for your next cheap(er) ride with our pick of the best used car to buy in Singapore.     **Car model** **Selling price** Kia Cerato 1.6A S\\$93,588 (8 years remaining on COE) Mini One 1.5A S\\$99,888 (6 years remaining on COE) Subaru Forester 2.0A XT S\\$89,388 (5 years remaining on COE) Mazda 3 Mild Hybrid 1.5A Classic S\\$100,888 (7 years remaining on COE) Honda Fit 1.3A GF S\\$89,888 (8 years remaining on COE) Kia Cerato 1.6A When it was released in 2020, the Korean Kia Cerato quickly became a favourite for many Singaporean families. This is thanks to the model’s winning combination of spaciousness, convenient features, stylish design and economical 1.6 litre engine. In fact, some enthusiasts were so enamoured that they even [declared the model the “Most Value for Money Sedan”](https:\/\/carro.sg\/blog\/kia-cerato-car-review\/). This favourable proposition is only further strengthened if you can get the vehicle at less than full price – as is the case with [this listing](https:\/\/carro.sg\/cars\/kia\/cerato\/kia-cerato-1-6a-lx\/DL8Q3N) that still has a full eight years left on its COE. Going for S\\$93,588 (nearly 30% less than the brand-new price, which starts at S\\$126,999), a second-hand Kia Cerato offers unbeatable value for those looking for a modern family sedan easily capable of keeping up with all your needs. Mini One 1.5A For those who think there's nothing exciting to be found on the second-hand car market, this listing will make you reconsider. Check out [this Mini One 1.5A, going for under S\\$100,000](https:\/\/carro.sg\/cars\/mini\/one\/mini-one-1-5a\/G96N2N), and with six years left on its COE to boot\\! A [brand new Mini One](https:\/\/secure.mini.com.sg\/pricelist\/) will set you back a cool S\\$165,888, so second-hand offers like this are just about as good a price as you can get. Yes, this is a 3-door model that caters to singles and young couples, but the diminutive chassis belies a larger-than-expected carrying capacity. Two more passengers – plus possibly a small dog – can fit in the back seat, accessible via the fold-down front seats. In any case, if you’ve ever wanted to cooly zip about town in style without resorting to surviving on instant noodles, here’s your chance. Subaru Forester 2.0A XT Another benefit of shopping for second-hand cars is the opportunity to own models that are no longer offered for sale. Such is the case with [this Subaru Forester 2.0A XT](https:\/\/carro.sg\/cars\/subaru\/forester\/subaru-forester-2-0a-xt-sunroof\/EZNP22), a popular and well-regarded choice among lovers of sports utility vehicles (SUVs). Facelifted in 2016, the model is often praised for great all-round visibility, smooth handling, and decent mileage. Naturally, as a big-sized SUV, the Forester offers interior and boot space in abundance, making it ideal for family trips and passengers of all ages. The listing we found has five years left on its COE at under S\\$90,000 – not too shabby considering a brand-new equivalent is going for [at least S\\$161,800](https:\/\/www.oneshift.com\/new-cars\/forester-es-20l-eyesight-awd-a#overview). Consider this one up if you’re looking for a family-friendly ride with a sturdy, powerful profile. Mazda 3 Mild Hybrid 1.5A Classic Our [next listing](https:\/\/carro.sg\/cars\/mazda\/mazda3\/mazda-3-mild-hybrid-1-5a-classic\/EWKJPM) has many things going for it. For one, it’s a hybrid car, which means driving around in this vehicle will result in lower emission of greenhouse gases. For another, it comes with interior stylings and accessories that rival some pricier models. And for a third, this car still has a healthy 7 years and 8 months left on its COE at the time of writing. The premium feel of the car is further enhanced by its luxurious good looks (indeed, some have noted this model to be the best-looking sedan in its class), and when you factor in the asking price of just over S\\$100,000, this second-hand car whispers “affordable luxury” from bonnet to tailpipe. For comparison, a brand-new model will cost you [S\\$140,888, or around 40% more](https:\/\/www.sgcarmart.com\/new_cars\/newcars_pricing.php?CarCode=12485). Honda Fit 1.3A GF If you don’t mind an older model, [this Honda Fit 1.3A GF](https:\/\/carro.sg\/cars\/honda\/fit\/honda-fit-1-3a-gf\/G34V4J) – at under S\\$90,000 and with eight years left on its COE, no less – might be worth your consideration. You may know the Honda Fit as that sporty Japanese hatch-back that suddenly everyone seems to be driving in the early 2000s. Since then, the model has enjoyed enduring popularity, with the Fit now in its fourth generation. A major factor contributing to this car’s beloved status is how it offers cargo volume comparable to larger vehicles, despites its relatively compact size. This was due to the innovative seats put in by Honda, which are designed to be folded in several configurations. Flexible, nimble and economic – thanks to its 1.3l engine – the Honda Fit is well-geared towards the needs of city dwellers. What to look out for when buying a second-hand car in Singapore Here are some things to pay attention to when buying a second-hand car – other than the general appearance and overall state of the vehicle, that is. Ownership history If the vehicle you’re interested in has had multiple owners – especially in a short period of time – take heed. You might be rolling the dice on a vehicle with persistent problems. It is common for some older cars to have changed hands two or three times, especially luxury or high-end models However, a mass-market model having had four or more owners in the span of two years should be treated with suspicion. At the very least, find out as much detail as possible about why the car has gone through so many owners, before deciding whether to proceed with the purchase. Mileage The mileage on a car is usually a reliable gauge of its lifespan. We say usually, because, unfortunately [mileage tampering isn’t unheard of](https:\/\/www.straitstimes.com\/singapore\/transport\/dealer-who-sold-car-with-tampered-odometer-wins-case) in Singapore. Mileage tampering is when an unscrupulous dealer alters the odometer readings to hide the true mileage of the car. As higher mileage causes greater wear and tear, this can stick you with a car that breaks down soon after, costing you a hefty repair bill. Accurate mileage readings are also important for [usage-based car insurance policies](https:\/\/www.singsaver.com.sg\/blog\/usage-based-car-insurance-vs-mileage-based-pay-per-mile), where your premiums are calculated based on the number of kilometers you drive. As a general guide, cars in Singapore clock an [average of 20,000 km per year](https:\/\/www.motorist.sg\/ask-motorists\/109\/how-much-mileage-is-considered-as-a-39-high-39-mileage), so if a vehicle’s odometer displays a significantly lower mileage, you should investigate further. You should also check for mileage tampering by: Cross-checking with maintenance and servicing records Looking for misaligned numbers or visual discrepancies on the odometer Notice if any screws are missing on the dashboard Getting an independent evaluation from a trusted third party Accident history Someone trying to sell you their used car may not be the most forthcoming about a previous accident. Or may try to downplay things and hope you won’t pry further. As such, it is a good idea to order a professional check up with organisations such as [STAI](https:\/\/stai.com.sg\/) or [Vicom](https:\/\/www.vicom.com.sg\/). They can better ascertain if a used-car had been involved in an accident before, the severity of the damage caused, as well as cross-reference records using the vehicles’ engine or chassis number. This will give you a better idea of the state of the used car, and whether you should go ahead with the purchase. Conclusion The listings we’ve highlighted are merely examples to illustrate the potential benefits and value of shopping for a vehicle on the used car market in Singapore. Of course, there’s no objective way to say definitively which car models are the best used car to buy in Singapore; what’s best for you will depend on your needs, preferences and budget. And while there are definitely gems to be found, it’s still important to err on the side of caution.","meta_canonical":null}

Yes, this is a 3-door model that caters to singles and young couples, but the diminutive chassis belies a larger-than-expected carrying capacity. Two more passengers – plus possibly a small dog – can fit in the back seat, accessible via the fold-down front seats. In any case, if you’ve ever wanted to cooly zip about town in style without resorting to surviving on instant noodles, here’s your chance. Subaru Forester 2.0A XT Another benefit of shopping for second-hand cars is the opportunity to own models that are no longer offered for sale. Such is the case with this Subaru Forester 2.0A XT , a popular and well-regarded choice among lovers of sports utility vehicles (SUVs). Facelifted in 2016, the model is often praised for great all-round visibility, smooth handling, and decent mileage. Naturally, as a big-sized SUV, the Forester offers interior and boot space in abundance, making it ideal for family trips and passengers of all ages. The listing we found has five years left on its COE at under S$90,000 – not too shabby considering a brand-new equivalent is going for at least S$161,800 . Consider this one up if you’re looking for a family-friendly ride with a sturdy, powerful profile. Mazda 3 Mild Hybrid 1.5A Classic Our next listing has many things going for it. For one, it’s a hybrid car, which means driving around in this vehicle will result in lower emission of greenhouse gases. For another, it comes with interior stylings and accessories that rival some pricier models. And for a third, this car still has a healthy 7 years and 8 months left on its COE at the time of writing. The premium feel of the car is further enhanced by its luxurious good looks (indeed, some have noted this model to be the best-looking sedan in its class), and when you factor in the asking price of just over S$100,000, this second-hand car whispers “affordable luxury” from bonnet to tailpipe. For comparison, a brand-new model will cost you S$140,888, or around 40% more . Honda Fit 1.3A GF If you don’t mind an older model, this Honda Fit 1.3A GF – at under S$90,000 and with eight years left on its COE, no less – might be worth your consideration. You may know the Honda Fit as that sporty Japanese hatch-back that suddenly everyone seems to be driving in the early 2000s. Since then, the model has enjoyed enduring popularity, with the Fit now in its fourth generation. A major factor contributing to this car’s beloved status is how it offers cargo volume comparable to larger vehicles, despites its relatively compact size. This was due to the innovative seats put in by Honda, which are designed to be folded in several configurations. Flexible, nimble and economic – thanks to its 1.3l engine – the Honda Fit is well-geared towards the needs of city dwellers. What to look out for when buying a second-hand car in Singapore Here are some things to pay attention to when buying a second-hand car – other than the general appearance and overall state of the vehicle, that is. Ownership history If the vehicle you’re interested in has had multiple owners – especially in a short period of time – take heed. You might be rolling the dice on a vehicle with persistent problems. It is common for some older cars to have changed hands two or three times, especially luxury or high-end models However, a mass-market model having had four or more owners in the span of two years should be treated with suspicion. At the very least, find out as much detail as possible about why the car has gone through so many owners, before deciding whether to proceed with the purchase. Mileage The mileage on a car is usually a reliable gauge of its lifespan. We say usually, because, unfortunately mileage tampering isn’t unheard of in Singapore. Mileage tampering is when an unscrupulous dealer alters the odometer readings to hide the true mileage of the car. As higher mileage causes greater wear and tear, this can stick you with a car that breaks down soon after, costing you a hefty repair bill. Accurate mileage readings are also important for usage-based car insurance policies , where your premiums are calculated based on the number of kilometers you drive. As a general guide, cars in Singapore clock an average of 20,000 km per year , so if a vehicle’s odometer displays a significantly lower mileage, you should investigate further. You should also check for mileage tampering by: Cross-checking with maintenance and servicing records Looking for misaligned numbers or visual discrepancies on the odometer Notice if any screws are missing on the dashboard Getting an independent evaluation from a trusted third party Accident history Someone trying to sell you their used car may not be the most forthcoming about a previous accident. Or may try to downplay things and hope you won’t pry further. As such, it is a good idea to order a professional check up with organisations such as STAI or Vicom . They can better ascertain if a used-car had been involved in an accident before, the severity of the damage caused, as well as cross-reference records using the vehicles’ engine or chassis number. This will give you a better idea of the state of the used car, and whether you should go ahead with the purchase. Conclusion The listings we’ve highlighted are merely examples to illustrate the potential benefits and value of shopping for a vehicle on the used car market in Singapore. Of course, there’s no objective way to say definitively which car models are the best used car to buy in Singapore; what’s best for you will depend on your needs, preferences and budget. And while there are definitely gems to be found, it’s still important to err on the side of caution.

As rising car ownership costs prompt more drivers to go the pre-owned route, used cars are expected to gain popularity. Here are some of the top second-hand car models to consider, along with tips on what to watch out for. Buying second-hand may not be your first choice when it comes to getting a car, but with COE prices looking to [remain high in the near term](https://www.todayonline.com/singapore/industry-watchers-expect-coe-prices-keep-rising-possibly-till-2023-after-open-category-premiums-hit-s99999-1867986), it may just be the only financially prudent option. But it’s not all bad. The thriving second-car market in Singapore – [expected to achieve](https://www.mordorintelligence.com/industry-reports/singapore-used-car-market) a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of over 4% till 2027 – means there’s plenty of great options to pick from. Also, Singapore has a Lemon Law on used cars, which offers a degree of protection against an unscrupulous sale. (Although, the law [doesn't apply under specific circumstances](https://www.motorist.sg/article/4/4-lemon-law-facts-on-used-car-purchases), including if the deal was a direct one between buyer and seller.) Best of all, buying a second-hand car can [offer several potential benefits](https://www.singsaver.com.sg/blog/buying-a-second-hand-car-in-singapore), including avoiding the worst of the depreciation, and a significantly lower price. Plus, you won’t even have to go through the trouble of bidding for a new COE; you’ll simply take over what remains of the 10-year COE on the car you’re purchasing. Convinced? Start your hunt for your next cheap(er) ride with our pick of the best used car to buy in Singapore.

This is thanks to the model’s winning combination of spaciousness, convenient features, stylish design and economical 1.6 litre engine. In fact, some enthusiasts were so enamoured that they even [declared the model the “Most Value for Money Sedan”](https://carro.sg/blog/kia-cerato-car-review/). This favourable proposition is only further strengthened if you can get the vehicle at less than full price – as is the case with [this listing](https://carro.sg/cars/kia/cerato/kia-cerato-1-6a-lx/DL8Q3N) that still has a full eight years left on its COE. Going for S\$93,588 (nearly 30% less than the brand-new price, which starts at S\$126,999), a second-hand Kia Cerato offers unbeatable value for those looking for a modern family sedan easily capable of keeping up with all your needs. ### Mini One 1.5A For those who think there's nothing exciting to be found on the second-hand car market, this listing will make you reconsider. Check out [this Mini One 1.5A, going for under S\$100,000](https://carro.sg/cars/mini/one/mini-one-1-5a/G96N2N), and with six years left on its COE to boot\! A [brand new Mini One](https://secure.mini.com.sg/pricelist/) will set you back a cool S\$165,888, so second-hand offers like this are just about as good a price as you can get. Yes, this is a 3-door model that caters to singles and young couples, but the diminutive chassis belies a larger-than-expected carrying capacity. Two more passengers – plus possibly a small dog – can fit in the back seat, accessible via the fold-down front seats. In any case, if you’ve ever wanted to cooly zip about town in style without resorting to surviving on instant noodles, here’s your chance. ### Subaru Forester 2.0A XT Another benefit of shopping for second-hand cars is the opportunity to own models that are no longer offered for sale. Such is the case with [this Subaru Forester 2.0A XT](https://carro.sg/cars/subaru/forester/subaru-forester-2-0a-xt-sunroof/EZNP22), a popular and well-regarded choice among lovers of sports utility vehicles (SUVs). Facelifted in 2016, the model is often praised for great all-round visibility, smooth handling, and decent mileage. Naturally, as a big-sized SUV, the Forester offers interior and boot space in abundance, making it ideal for family trips and passengers of all ages. The listing we found has five years left on its COE at under S\$90,000 – not too shabby considering a brand-new equivalent is going for [at least S\$161,800](https://www.oneshift.com/new-cars/forester-es-20l-eyesight-awd-a#overview). Consider this one up if you’re looking for a family-friendly ride with a sturdy, powerful profile. TIQ Car Insurance Promotion: Enjoy S\$30 petrol vouchers when you apply now. Valid till 30 April 2026.

For one, it’s a hybrid car, which means driving around in this vehicle will result in lower emission of greenhouse gases. For another, it comes with interior stylings and accessories that rival some pricier models. And for a third, this car still has a healthy 7 years and 8 months left on its COE at the time of writing. The premium feel of the car is further enhanced by its luxurious good looks (indeed, some have noted this model to be the best-looking sedan in its class), and when you factor in the asking price of just over S\$100,000, this second-hand car whispers “affordable luxury” from bonnet to tailpipe. For comparison, a brand-new model will cost you [S\$140,888, or around 40% more](https://www.sgcarmart.com/new_cars/newcars_pricing.php?CarCode=12485). Honda Fit 1.3A GF If you don’t mind an older model, [this Honda Fit 1.3A GF](https://carro.sg/cars/honda/fit/honda-fit-1-3a-gf/G34V4J) – at under S\$90,000 and with eight years left on its COE, no less – might be worth your consideration. You may know the Honda Fit as that sporty Japanese hatch-back that suddenly everyone seems to be driving in the early 2000s. Since then, the model has enjoyed enduring popularity, with the Fit now in its fourth generation. A major factor contributing to this car’s beloved status is how it offers cargo volume comparable to larger vehicles, despites its relatively compact size. This was due to the innovative seats put in by Honda, which are designed to be folded in several configurations. Flexible, nimble and economic – thanks to its 1.3l engine – the Honda Fit is well-geared towards the needs of city dwellers.

[Find the Best Car Insurance for You](https://www.singsaver.com.sg/car-insurance) ### Ownership history If the vehicle you’re interested in has had multiple owners – especially in a short period of time – take heed. You might be rolling the dice on a vehicle with persistent problems. It is common for some older cars to have changed hands two or three times, especially luxury or high-end models However, a mass-market model having had four or more owners in the span of two years should be treated with suspicion. At the very least, find out as much detail as possible about why the car has gone through so many owners, before deciding whether to proceed with the purchase. ### Mileage The mileage on a car is usually a reliable gauge of its lifespan. We say usually, because, unfortunately [mileage tampering isn’t unheard of](https://www.straitstimes.com/singapore/transport/dealer-who-sold-car-with-tampered-odometer-wins-case) in Singapore. Mileage tampering is when an unscrupulous dealer alters the odometer readings to hide the true mileage of the car. As higher mileage causes greater wear and tear, this can stick you with a car that breaks down soon after, costing you a hefty repair bill. Accurate mileage readings are also important for [usage-based car insurance policies](https://www.singsaver.com.sg/blog/usage-based-car-insurance-vs-mileage-based-pay-per-mile), where your premiums are calculated based on the number of kilometers you drive. As a general guide, cars in Singapore clock an [average of 20,000 km per year](https://www.motorist.sg/ask-motorists/109/how-much-mileage-is-considered-as-a-39-high-39-mileage), so if a vehicle’s odometer displays a significantly lower mileage, you should investigate further. You should also check for mileage tampering by: - Cross-checking with maintenance and servicing records - Looking for misaligned numbers or visual discrepancies on the odometer - Notice if any screws are missing on the dashboard - Getting an independent evaluation from a trusted third party Singlife Car Insurance Promotion: Get 20% off premiums when you use the promo code CAR20 (for new customers and annual plan only) when you buy Singlife Car Insurance.

Or may try to downplay things and hope you won’t pry further. As such, it is a good idea to order a professional check up with organisations such as [STAI](https://stai.com.sg/) or [Vicom](https://www.vicom.com.sg/). They can better ascertain if a used-car had been involved in an accident before, the severity of the damage caused, as well as cross-reference records using the vehicles’ engine or chassis number. This will give you a better idea of the state of the used car, and whether you should go ahead with the purchase. ## Conclusion The listings we’ve highlighted are merely examples to illustrate the potential benefits and value of shopping for a vehicle on the used car market in Singapore. Of course, there’s no objective way to say definitively which car models are the best used car to buy in Singapore; what’s best for you will depend on your needs, preferences and budget. And while there are definitely gems to be found, it’s still important to err on the side of caution.

Readable Markdown	Looking for the best 2nd hand car to buy in Singapore? As rising car ownership costs prompt more drivers to go the pre-owned route, used cars are expected to gain popularity. Here are some of the top second-hand car models to consider, along with tips on what to watch out for. Buying second-hand may not be your first choice when it comes to getting a car, but with COE prices looking to [remain high in the near term](https://www.todayonline.com/singapore/industry-watchers-expect-coe-prices-keep-rising-possibly-till-2023-after-open-category-premiums-hit-s99999-1867986), it may just be the only financially prudent option. But it’s not all bad. The thriving second-car market in Singapore – [expected to achieve](https://www.mordorintelligence.com/industry-reports/singapore-used-car-market) a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of over 4% till 2027 – means there’s plenty of great options to pick from. Also, Singapore has a Lemon Law on used cars, which offers a degree of protection against an unscrupulous sale. (Although, the law [doesn't apply under specific circumstances](https://www.motorist.sg/article/4/4-lemon-law-facts-on-used-car-purchases), including if the deal was a direct one between buyer and seller.) Best of all, buying a second-hand car can [offer several potential benefits](https://www.singsaver.com.sg/blog/buying-a-second-hand-car-in-singapore), including avoiding the worst of the depreciation, and a significantly lower price. Plus, you won’t even have to go through the trouble of bidding for a new COE; you’ll simply take over what remains of the 10-year COE on the car you’re purchasing. Convinced? Start your hunt for your next cheap(er) ride with our pick of the best used car to buy in Singapore. Car model Selling price Kia Cerato 1.6A S\$93,588 (8 years remaining on COE) Mini One 1.5A S\$99,888 (6 years remaining on COE) Subaru Forester 2.0A XT S\$89,388 (5 years remaining on COE) Mazda 3 Mild Hybrid 1.5A Classic S\$100,888 (7 years remaining on COE) Honda Fit 1.3A GF S\$89,888 (8 years remaining on COE) Kia Cerato 1.6A When it was released in 2020, the Korean Kia Cerato quickly became a favourite for many Singaporean families. This is thanks to the model’s winning combination of spaciousness, convenient features, stylish design and economical 1.6 litre engine. In fact, some enthusiasts were so enamoured that they even [declared the model the “Most Value for Money Sedan”](https://carro.sg/blog/kia-cerato-car-review/). This favourable proposition is only further strengthened if you can get the vehicle at less than full price – as is the case with [this listing](https://carro.sg/cars/kia/cerato/kia-cerato-1-6a-lx/DL8Q3N) that still has a full eight years left on its COE. Going for S\$93,588 (nearly 30% less than the brand-new price, which starts at S\$126,999), a second-hand Kia Cerato offers unbeatable value for those looking for a modern family sedan easily capable of keeping up with all your needs. Mini One 1.5A For those who think there's nothing exciting to be found on the second-hand car market, this listing will make you reconsider. Check out [this Mini One 1.5A, going for under S\$100,000](https://carro.sg/cars/mini/one/mini-one-1-5a/G96N2N), and with six years left on its COE to boot\! A [brand new Mini One](https://secure.mini.com.sg/pricelist/) will set you back a cool S\$165,888, so second-hand offers like this are just about as good a price as you can get. Yes, this is a 3-door model that caters to singles and young couples, but the diminutive chassis belies a larger-than-expected carrying capacity. Two more passengers – plus possibly a small dog – can fit in the back seat, accessible via the fold-down front seats. In any case, if you’ve ever wanted to cooly zip about town in style without resorting to surviving on instant noodles, here’s your chance. Subaru Forester 2.0A XT Another benefit of shopping for second-hand cars is the opportunity to own models that are no longer offered for sale. Such is the case with [this Subaru Forester 2.0A XT](https://carro.sg/cars/subaru/forester/subaru-forester-2-0a-xt-sunroof/EZNP22), a popular and well-regarded choice among lovers of sports utility vehicles (SUVs). Facelifted in 2016, the model is often praised for great all-round visibility, smooth handling, and decent mileage. Naturally, as a big-sized SUV, the Forester offers interior and boot space in abundance, making it ideal for family trips and passengers of all ages. The listing we found has five years left on its COE at under S\$90,000 – not too shabby considering a brand-new equivalent is going for [at least S\$161,800](https://www.oneshift.com/new-cars/forester-es-20l-eyesight-awd-a#overview). Consider this one up if you’re looking for a family-friendly ride with a sturdy, powerful profile. Mazda 3 Mild Hybrid 1.5A Classic Our [next listing](https://carro.sg/cars/mazda/mazda3/mazda-3-mild-hybrid-1-5a-classic/EWKJPM) has many things going for it. For one, it’s a hybrid car, which means driving around in this vehicle will result in lower emission of greenhouse gases. For another, it comes with interior stylings and accessories that rival some pricier models. And for a third, this car still has a healthy 7 years and 8 months left on its COE at the time of writing. The premium feel of the car is further enhanced by its luxurious good looks (indeed, some have noted this model to be the best-looking sedan in its class), and when you factor in the asking price of just over S\$100,000, this second-hand car whispers “affordable luxury” from bonnet to tailpipe. For comparison, a brand-new model will cost you [S\$140,888, or around 40% more](https://www.sgcarmart.com/new_cars/newcars_pricing.php?CarCode=12485). Honda Fit 1.3A GF If you don’t mind an older model, [this Honda Fit 1.3A GF](https://carro.sg/cars/honda/fit/honda-fit-1-3a-gf/G34V4J) – at under S\$90,000 and with eight years left on its COE, no less – might be worth your consideration. You may know the Honda Fit as that sporty Japanese hatch-back that suddenly everyone seems to be driving in the early 2000s. Since then, the model has enjoyed enduring popularity, with the Fit now in its fourth generation. A major factor contributing to this car’s beloved status is how it offers cargo volume comparable to larger vehicles, despites its relatively compact size. This was due to the innovative seats put in by Honda, which are designed to be folded in several configurations. Flexible, nimble and economic – thanks to its 1.3l engine – the Honda Fit is well-geared towards the needs of city dwellers. What to look out for when buying a second-hand car in Singapore Here are some things to pay attention to when buying a second-hand car – other than the general appearance and overall state of the vehicle, that is. Ownership history If the vehicle you’re interested in has had multiple owners – especially in a short period of time – take heed. You might be rolling the dice on a vehicle with persistent problems. It is common for some older cars to have changed hands two or three times, especially luxury or high-end models However, a mass-market model having had four or more owners in the span of two years should be treated with suspicion. At the very least, find out as much detail as possible about why the car has gone through so many owners, before deciding whether to proceed with the purchase. Mileage The mileage on a car is usually a reliable gauge of its lifespan. We say usually, because, unfortunately [mileage tampering isn’t unheard of](https://www.straitstimes.com/singapore/transport/dealer-who-sold-car-with-tampered-odometer-wins-case) in Singapore. Mileage tampering is when an unscrupulous dealer alters the odometer readings to hide the true mileage of the car. As higher mileage causes greater wear and tear, this can stick you with a car that breaks down soon after, costing you a hefty repair bill. Accurate mileage readings are also important for [usage-based car insurance policies](https://www.singsaver.com.sg/blog/usage-based-car-insurance-vs-mileage-based-pay-per-mile), where your premiums are calculated based on the number of kilometers you drive. As a general guide, cars in Singapore clock an [average of 20,000 km per year](https://www.motorist.sg/ask-motorists/109/how-much-mileage-is-considered-as-a-39-high-39-mileage), so if a vehicle’s odometer displays a significantly lower mileage, you should investigate further. You should also check for mileage tampering by: Cross-checking with maintenance and servicing records Looking for misaligned numbers or visual discrepancies on the odometer Notice if any screws are missing on the dashboard Getting an independent evaluation from a trusted third party Accident history Someone trying to sell you their used car may not be the most forthcoming about a previous accident. Or may try to downplay things and hope you won’t pry further. As such, it is a good idea to order a professional check up with organisations such as [STAI](https://stai.com.sg/) or [Vicom](https://www.vicom.com.sg/). They can better ascertain if a used-car had been involved in an accident before, the severity of the damage caused, as well as cross-reference records using the vehicles’ engine or chassis number. This will give you a better idea of the state of the used car, and whether you should go ahead with the purchase. Conclusion The listings we’ve highlighted are merely examples to illustrate the potential benefits and value of shopping for a vehicle on the used car market in Singapore. Of course, there’s no objective way to say definitively which car models are the best used car to buy in Singapore; what’s best for you will depend on your needs, preferences and budget. And while there are definitely gems to be found, it’s still important to err on the side of caution.
