The cars under 35k Australia listings cover second-hand cars priced from $25090 to $34999. Please read the listing before you set a budget and check if the displayed price excludes government charges.
Think about how the car will match your daily rhythm. A hatch may be easier to park, while a sedan or SUV can provide more room for passengers and luggage. A ute may work well for buyers who carry tools or tow regularly.
A newer car may have travelled more, while an older one may have fewer kilometres or more features. Check the year, exact version, service history and condition rather than judging the car by its odometer alone.
Cars24 buyers in this price range often chose the Toyota Corolla, Mazda CX-5, Toyota Camry, Toyota RAV4 and Ford Ranger. Together, these models provide a useful starting point across small cars, family sedans, SUVs and utes.
Our live listings are a mix of Cars24 Select cars and the rest are verified dealer listings sold by partner dealers. Read the seller's label and the terms on the individual listing before paying or reserving.

The Toyota Corolla, Mazda CX-5, Toyota Camry, Toyota RAV4 and Ford Ranger were the five most commonly chosen models in this price band on our platform. Their mix of body styles also shows what a $25,000 to $35,000 budget could offer different buyers.
The Corolla is available as a hatch or sedan, with four-cylinder petrol and hybrid versions across different years. Its manageable size and range of fuel options could explain its appeal as an everyday car.
The CX-5 is a five-seat medium SUV. Used versions may have petrol or diesel engines, with front-wheel or all-wheel drive. Buyers often compare it for its passenger room and useful boot.
The Camry offers family-sized sedan space, with petrol and hybrid versions available. The RAV4 provides similar fuel choices in a medium SUV with higher seating and more flexible luggage space.
The Ranger suits a different buyer. This ute is commonly found with a turbo-diesel engine, although cab size and 4x2 or 4x4 drive vary by version.
Check the total cost because some displayed prices exclude government charges. Add stamp duty, registration or transfer costs, insurance and delivery where applicable.
Read age and kilometres together because a few kilometres do not erase wear from age.
Look through dated service records and inspect how old the car is, how far it has travelled and how it has been maintained. Then check the schedule for major work that is due soon.
Confirm the exact variant. Engines, gearboxes, safety equipment, fuel type, drive type and towing limits can change under one model name.
Inspect tyres, brakes, warning lights and cold-start behaviour. On a drive, notice steering and suspension, then examine cabin wear and signs of repaired damage.
Review available history information, including a Cars24 Car History Report where relevant. Also run an official PPSR search. A PPSR result can show a registered security interest. It may also include stolen or written-off data when available. PPSR is not a mechanical inspection and does not verify the odometer.
Compare fuel or charging, insurance, servicing and tyre costs for the exact car.
For a hybrid, check its service record and any manufacturer cover left. Ask for battery-health information if it exists. A used hybrid does not automatically need a replacement battery.
Check ANCAP for the exact generation, covered variant and rating year. Its criteria and coverage change over time.
Search within your budget. The Cars24 $25,000 to $35,000 price page keeps the search within your chosen price range. Use the available filters to narrow the listings by make, model, body type, fuel, transmission, year, kilometres, location and seller.
See what is included with the car. Eligible Cars24 Select cars come with a 300-point inspection and Car Condition Report. Depending on the listing, support may also include PPSR or RWC information, warranty, roadside assistance, delivery and rego or transfer help.
Know who you are buying from. Cars24 also lists vehicles sold by verified dealer partners. Their inspection, test-drive, warranty, delivery and return terms may differ from those offered with Cars24 Select cars.
Read the listing before paying. Check the seller label and the terms shown for the individual car. If a Cars24 Select vehicle includes the 30-Day Return Guarantee*, read the current conditions before reserving it.
Cars24 has Hubs in three cities:

You do not have to pay the full price upfront. Eligible buyers looking at best used cars under 35000 can apply through Cars24 Finance, with access to more than 30 lenders and a dedicated finance team. Approval depends on the lender’s checks and terms, and pre-approval is not a final loan offer.
Look beyond the weekly repayment. Compare the interest rate, comparison rate where shown, fees, deposit, loan length and any balloon payment. Most importantly, check the total amount repayable. Leave enough in your budget for rego, insurance, servicing, tyres and fuel or charging.
Start with the type of car that suits your day-to-day driving. A Toyota Corolla may suit buyers after a hatch or sedan, while the Mazda CX-5 and Toyota RAV4 offer medium-SUV space. The Toyota Camry is a roomy sedan, and the Ford Ranger is worth comparing if you need a ute. The best used cars under 35000 will still come down to the exact year, variant, condition and running costs.
A new car gives you a known history and a full new-car warranty. Buying used for the same money could get you a larger car, a higher model grade or more features. Some used cars may also have part of their original manufacturer's warranty left. Compare safety, condition, service records, insurance and likely running costs. New and dealer-sold used cars are also covered by Australian Consumer Law.
Hybrid cars do appear in this price range, although the choice changes with current stock. Toyota Corolla, Camry and RAV4 hybrid variants are among the models buyers may find. Check the fuel type carefully because these models were also sold with petrol engines. When comparing used hybrid cars, read the service history and check any remaining manufacturer warranty or battery information supplied with the car.
Only if the listing clearly gives a drive-away price. A price marked “excluding government charges” does not include costs such as stamp or motor vehicle duty, registration and transfer fees. These charges vary between states and territories. Comprehensive insurance, delivery and optional extras may also sit outside the advertised price. If $35,000 is your total budget, check the full amount before reserving the car.
There is no fixed number. Kilometres make more sense when read alongside the car’s age, service history and condition. A higher-kilometre car that has been serviced on time may be in better shape than a low-kilometre car with poor records. Check when the next major service is due and look closely at the tyres, brakes and general wear. For used cars under 35000, condition matters as much as the number on the odometer.
No. An official PPSR search shows whether a security interest is registered against the car. It will usually also include stolen and written-off information supplied through government records. It does not show the car’s mechanical condition or odometer reading. Review any available car history information and condition report, then consider an independent inspection if you still have concerns about the car.
No. Cars sold directly by Cars24 and cars listed by verified dealer partners have different terms. Cars sold by Cars24 currently include a three-month warranty, subject to the Cars24 warranty terms. The 30-Day Return Guarantee applies to eligible cars bought directly from Cars24, not dealer listings. It has a 1,000-kilometre limit, and a service fee applies to some returns requested from day 8 onwards. Always check the seller label and individual listing.
Eligible buyers can apply through Cars24 Finance, which currently provides access to more than 30 lenders. Pre-approval is not final approval, and the lender will assess the full application. Compare the interest rate, comparison rate, fees, loan length and any balloon payment. A low weekly repayment may come from a longer loan that costs more overall, so check the total amount repayable before signing.
Yes, Cars24 manages the registration transfer for Cars24 Select vehicles, so you don’t have to deal with paperwork ourselves
