Finding a reliable, practical car in Cyprus for under €10,000 is absolutely possible — especially when you know where to look. Japanese import cars offer exceptional value in this price range. They are typically automatic, well-maintained under Japan's strict vehicle inspection system, and arrive with lower mileage than equivalent European used cars of the same age.
At Mattheos Ioannou Motors in Limassol, we regularly stock quality used cars across a wide range of budgets. Here are the models we recommend most for buyers with a €10,000 budget in 2025.
The Toyota Aqua is consistently our top recommendation for budget-conscious buyers. It is a compact hybrid hatchback that delivers outstanding fuel economy — making it one of the cheapest cars to run in Cyprus day to day. It is fully automatic, reliable and easy to drive.
Who it suits: Daily commuters, first-time buyers, anyone prioritising running costs.
The Nissan Note packs a surprisingly large interior into a compact body. Newer models come with Nissan's e-Power system — a hybrid-like technology that drives the wheels entirely via an electric motor. It is automatic, economical and practical.
Who it suits: Small families, buyers needing interior space without a large car.
The Toyota Yaris has been one of the most popular city cars in Cyprus for years. It is small, easy to park, automatic and — in hybrid form — impressively economical. Japanese-spec Yaris models typically come with low mileage and full equipment.
Who it suits: City drivers, younger buyers, buyers wanting the smallest possible running costs.
The Mazda Demio (sold as Mazda 2 in Europe) offers Mazda's premium interior quality in a very affordable package. Automatic, compact and reliable — it regularly represents some of the best value in our stock.
Who it suits: Buyers who want a quality interior without a premium price tag.
If you want a small crossover with a raised driving position and more road presence than a hatchback, the Nissan Juke is the most affordable option. It is automatic, practical and distinctive.
Who it suits: Buyers who want SUV practicality at a hatchback price.
