As of October 19, 2026, there are 14 used cars available in Costa Rica priced between 0 and 1.2 million colones in LatiAutos inventory.

A budget of 1.2 million colones sits at the lower end of Costa Rica's used car market, so supply is naturally more limited than in higher price brackets. With only 14 active listings right now, this is a segment worth checking regularly, since vehicles in this range tend to move quickly or get added as dealers update their stock.
What kind of cars show up at this price point?
The mix of Asian brands like Changan, FAW, GWM and Isuzu alongside more established names such as Honda, Hyundai, Kia, Nissan and Toyota suggests that at this budget you are likely to find entry level models, older model years, or vehicles with higher mileage. The presence of a single Land Rover in this range is unusual and likely reflects one specific unit with a particular year or condition rather than the norm for the segment.
How to search efficiently
- Filter directly by price range on the inventory link to see only the 14 current options.
- Check the year and mileage on each listing before contacting a seller, since those two factors vary a lot across brands at this price level.
- If your budget has some flexibility, also compare the next price bracket up for more variety among well known brands.
- Confirm with the dealer whether the listed price includes transfer and paperwork fees, since that can change the real cost of the purchase.
If your budget is not strictly capped at 1.2 million colones, it is worth browsing the full Costa Rica inventory to compare prices and brands in nearby ranges before deciding.
Shopping at this budget level means paying close attention to vehicle history, especially for less common brands locally like Changan or FAW, where parts availability can differ from Toyota or Hyundai. Always ask for maintenance records and, if possible, have an independent mechanic inspect the car before you close the deal.
