Cars with the cheapest and easiest-to-find spare parts in Paraguay
1. Toyota Vitz: the easiest spare parts to find in Paraguay
If there is one car associated with cheap spare parts in Paraguay, it is the Toyota Vitz. It is the model with the most listings on Ajogua, its 1.0, 1.3, and 1.5 engines are simple and reliable, and filters, brake pads, spark plugs, and suspension parts can be found in practically any spare parts shop. When something breaks, there are also many used parts available in junkyards.
On Ajogua today: 171 Vitz listed, 142 of them automatic and 64 model 2012 or newer. Half of the cash listings are between Gs. 30 and 52 million, with a median price of Gs. 45 million. Examples: several 2012 automatic 1.3 between Gs. 48 and 50 million, a 2015 automatic 1.3 with 48,300 km for Gs. 65 million and a 2018 automatic with 45,800 km for Gs. 65 million.
Ideal for: those who want the cheapest car to maintain and with the most options to compare.
What to check
Many Vitz are imported used from Japan: check how the steering wheel conversion was done, the actual mileage, the automatic or CVT transmission, and the air conditioning.
2. Toyota Ractis: more space with the same cheap spare parts
The Toyota Ractis is the option for those who need more space without losing the advantage of Toyota spare parts. It shares engines and many parts with the Vitz, but has a taller cabin and more room for passengers and luggage.
On Ajogua today: 81 Ractis, 72 automatic, with half of the listings between Gs. 33.5 and 49 million (median Gs. 43 million). Examples: a 2009 automatic 1.5 with 42,500 km for Gs. 33.5 million, a 2012 automatic 1.3 with 53,200 km for Gs. 47.8 million and a 2015 automatic 1.5 for Gs. 55.9 million.
Ideal for: families or mixed use looking for space with economical maintenance.
What to check
Condition of the CVT, steering wheel conversion, mileage, and air conditioning. Only 19 of the listings are 2012 or newer, so filter by year.
3. Toyota IST, Allion, and Premio: the same family of spare parts
The Toyota IST (a wider compact than the Vitz) and the sedans Toyota Allion and Toyota Premio use many of the same engines and parts as the Vitz. Therefore, they have the same advantage: spare parts everywhere, several brands to choose from, and mechanics who know them by heart.
On Ajogua today: 54 IST (median Gs. 32.8 million, almost all 2002–2007), 84 Allion (median Gs. 46 million) and 40 Premio (median Gs. 42 million). They are cars with several years on them: only 3 Allion and 1 Premio are 2012 or newer.
Ideal for: those who want a sedan with a large trunk, or a wider compact, without leaving the Toyota spare parts ecosystem.
What to check
Due to the age of these units, the overall condition weighs more than the brand: suspension, transmission, oil leaks, air conditioning, and steering wheel conversion.
4. Kia Picanto and Hyundai i10: cheap spare parts and the lowest purchase price
The Kia Picanto and the Hyundai i10 / Grand i10 are cousins: they belong to the same group, share engines and many mechanical parts. The same oil filter (code 26300-02500) works for both and costs around Gs. 22,000. They come with the steering wheel on the left from the factory, so there is no conversion to check, and Kia and Hyundai have a strong presence in Paraguay, with an official network and alternative spare parts.
On Ajogua today: 14 Picanto (median Gs. 30 million) and 7 i10 / Grand i10 (median Gs. 25 million). Examples: a 2014 manual Picanto for Gs. 28.5 million, a 2022 1.0 Picanto with 40,000 km for Gs. 37 million, a 2012 1.0 i10 for Gs. 24.5 million and a 2015 automatic Grand i10 for Gs. 33.5 million.
The downside: almost all are manual. Only 2 Picanto and 1 i10 of the listings are automatic. And they are small: perfect for the city, but with four adults and luggage, they are cramped.
Ideal for: first car or urban use with the lowest total cost possible.
What to check
Clutch, suspension, air conditioning, and in the more basic versions, whether they have airbags and ABS.
5. Hyundai Accent and Kia Rio: Korean sedans with accessible spare parts
The Hyundai Accent and the Kia Rio are the larger version of the same formula: they share platform and 1.4 and 1.6 engines, so many mechanical parts work for both. They have more space and trunk than a Picanto, come with the steering wheel on the left from the factory and most of the listings are 2012 or newer.
On Ajogua today: 26 Accent (median cash Gs. 58 million) and 13 Rio (median Gs. 48 million). Examples: a 2012 automatic Accent with 90,000 km for Gs. 40 million, a 2018 manual 1.6 Accent with 49,000 km for Gs. 46.5 million, a 2013 automatic Rio for Gs. 45 million and a 2020 manual Rio with 50,000 km for Gs. 58 million.
Ideal for: those who want a newer sedan than an Allion or Premio, with known maintenance.
What to check
Automatic transmission, front end, air conditioning, and service history.
6. Chevrolet Onix: a newer car with regional spare parts
The Chevrolet Onix is the alternative if you prefer a recent car over a Japanese one from 2010. It is manufactured in Brazil, is one of the best-selling cars in the region and has the backing of the official Chevrolet network, so maintenance spare parts are easily available. At the Chacomer spare parts shop, the front brake pads cost between Gs. 88,300 and 127,600, a bit more than those for a Vitz.
On Ajogua today: 15 Onix and Onix Plus, all 2019 or newer and 10 automatic. Examples: a 2019 manual with 52,000 km for Gs. 29 million, a 2022 manual with 27,000 km for Gs. 46.5 million and a 2020 automatic Onix Plus with 22,400 km for Gs. 65 million. Several dealership units are listed in dollars.
Ideal for: those who want a nearly new car, with warranty or dealership history.
What to check
Engine version (turbo versions have components that a naturally aspirated engine does not), official service history, and whether the warranty is still valid.
7. Volkswagen Gol: simple mechanics and spare parts from Brazil
The Volkswagen Gol was for decades one of the best-selling cars in Brazil and circulates throughout Mercosur, so its spare parts are easily found in Paraguay. Volkswagen stopped manufacturing it in 2022, but with so many units on the road, spare parts will continue to be available for many years. Its 1.6 engine is simple and any mechanic knows it.
On Ajogua today: 11 Gol, 9 of them 2012 or newer and all manual. Examples: a 2014 1.6 with 22,400 km for Gs. 42 million, a 2018 1.6 with 65,200 km for Gs. 49 million and a 2022 1.6 with 12,400 km for Gs. 58.5 million.
Ideal for: those looking for a manual, simple, and robust car for daily use.
What to check
Clutch, front end, suspension noises, air conditioning, and oil leaks.

Why these cars have cheap spare parts in Paraguay
Economical cars to maintain are not cheap because of the brand, but because of how many are circulating in the country. When a model is common, spare parts shops have it in stock, there are several alternative brands, mechanics know it, and even used parts can be found in junkyards.
What the data from Ajogua shows
Of the 1,962 cars listed today on Ajogua, 936 are Toyotas: almost half of the market. Followed by Hyundai with 149, Kia with 143, Chevrolet with 102, and Volkswagen with 52.
- Shared parts between models: if the same engine or brakes are used in several models, the spare part sells more and is easier to find.
- Original and alternative: being able to choose between original spare parts and several alternative brands greatly reduces the cost.
- Simple mechanics: a naturally aspirated gasoline engine with a known transmission is cheaper to repair than a turbo, a modern diesel, or a dual-clutch transmission.
Real spare part prices in Paraguay: oil filter and brake pads
To not stay in theory, we checked the prices published in the online store of Chacomer, one of the largest spare parts shops in Asunción, for two spare parts that every car changes often.
| Model | Oil filter | Front brake pads |
|---|---|---|
| Toyota Vitz | Gs. 9,700–21,300 (4 brands) | Gs. 61,900–65,000 |
| Kia Picanto / Hyundai i10 | Gs. 19,900–22,300 | Gs. 82,900 (Picanto) |
| Chevrolet Onix | Gs. 45,500 | Gs. 88,300–127,600 |
| Volkswagen Gol | Gs. 26,000–56,900 | Gs. 91,900–92,600 (Gol Trend) |
Prices published on chacomer.com.py on October 26, 2026. The brands and qualities of each spare part are not always the same, so take it as a reference and not as an exact comparison. Always confirm the part code for your version and year.
The most interesting thing is not the price, but the number of options: for the Toyota filter 90915-10001 there are four different brands starting from Gs. 9,700. That same filter works for the 1NZ, 2NZ, 1SZ, 2SZ, and 1ZZ engines, which equip many versions of Vitz, Platz, Belta, IST, Ractis, Probox, Allion, Premio, and Corolla. In another spare parts shop in Asunción, Electro Diesel, the same set of brake pads appears for Vitz, Corolla, Allion, IST, Premio, and Probox.
The honest conclusion
For small spare parts, the difference between brands is tens of thousands of guaranÃes. Comparing the same brand of filter, the Toyota one costs Gs. 21,300 and the one for Picanto and i10 costs Gs. 22,300. Where you really save is in availability, options, and in what a major repair costs.
Spare parts for Japanese, Korean, and Brazilian cars in Paraguay
Japanese (Toyota)
They make up the majority of the used market and have the widest range of spare parts: original, alternative, and used. The peculiarity is that many are used imported from Japan with the steering wheel converted, so in addition to the mechanics, it is advisable to check the quality of that conversion. You can see them all in Japanese cars in Paraguay.
Korean (Kia and Hyundai)
They come with the steering wheel on the left from the factory and have an official network in the country. The original spare part usually costs more than an alternative, but for Picanto, i10, Accent, and Rio there are many alternative brands in spare parts shops.
Brazilian (Chevrolet Onix and Volkswagen Gol)
Coming from Brazil, they share spare parts with a huge and very close market. The mechanics are simple and well-known by Paraguayan workshops.
What about Chinese cars?
New Chinese cars are becoming more common, but in the used market, they are still few: on Ajogua, for example, there are 10 GAC, 7 BYD, and 6 Geely listed. Before buying a used one, ask the dealership about the stock and price of the most commonly changed spare parts. Check the offer in Chinese cars in Paraguay.
What cars to avoid if you want cheap maintenance
- Rare models in Paraguay: if almost no one has it, the spare part may have to be brought from abroad and take weeks.
- European premium brands: they can be a great used purchase, but spare parts, diagnostics, and labor cost much more.
- Modern turbo and diesel engines: turbo, injection, and emissions control add expensive repair parts.
- Large SUVs: larger and more expensive tires, brakes, and suspension than in a small car.
- Cars with unknown history: a common but neglected car ends up being more expensive than a less common well-maintained one.
How to save on spare parts and maintenance of your car in Paraguay
- Search by part code: with the original code, you can compare prices between spare parts shops and alternative brands.
- Compare original and alternative: in filters and pads, a good alternative brand can cost half.
- Don't skimp on safety parts: brakes, steering, and tires, always of good quality.
- Service on time: changing oil and filters is much cheaper than repairing an engine or transmission.
- Take care of the air conditioning: in Paraguay, it is used all year round and a major repair costs millions.
- Find a mechanic who knows the model: less diagnostic time means less labor cost.
- Used with care: junkyards are useful for bodywork or expensive parts, but check the condition well.

What to check before buying a car considering spare parts
- Ask for prices before buying: call a spare parts shop and ask for the price of pads, shock absorbers, and clutch for that model and year.
- Request the service history: a car with up-to-date maintenance saves you surprises.
- Check the transmission: in automatics and CVTs, a repair can cost more than all the small spare parts for several years.
- Look at tires, brakes, and suspension: if they need to be changed as soon as you buy it, add that to the price.
- Do an electronic scan: especially in newer cars or those with many sensors.
- Check the papers: green ID in the seller's name and without debts or transfer issues.
So, which car with cheap spare parts is worth buying in Paraguay?
- The cheapest to maintain and with the most options: Toyota Vitz, or Ractis if you need more space.
- Sedan with trunk and Toyota spare parts: Allion or Premio, knowing that almost all are older than 2012.
- The lowest total expense: Kia Picanto or Hyundai i10, if a small manual car works for you.
- Newer sedan: Hyundai Accent or Kia Rio.
- Almost new, with official backing: Chevrolet Onix.
- Simple, robust manual: Volkswagen Gol.
In all cases, a well-maintained car is worth more than a model known for being cheap but neglected.
