Hindi ko sure kung 18% din pag 4 years parang mas mataas pa yata, ask the personnel at the warehouse or at the bank.
Suzuki Ciaz 1.4AT GL is at 785k according to ************, but can probably still be discounted depending on the dealer and the current demand because of the impending ET.
Do note of the is a non-refundable 20k processing fee on top of the other charges (Chattel, LTO, Insurance) that you will need to pay in getting a pre-owned car from PSBank, so that reduces the actual savings you'd be getting.
From my quick compute, you are saving roughly 120k (not 280k) in going at the pre-owned route vs brand new, using 4 years and 18% vs 10% plus the other costs and possible discount from brand new. I don't think you can get the said car at exactly 502k floor price, you'd need to bid a bit higher.
At the end of the day, you have to ask yourself if the 120k savings is worth the risks you are taking in getting the pre-owned car. Remember, the warranty may no longer be intact (depends on the PMSs taken by the previous owner and the dealer rules), plus we don't know where (or how) the car have been to in the past year it was used by the (dare I say it, financially irresponsible) owner. The warehouse is also not lit enough for thorough inspections to be done, plus you don't get to test drive it.
So if this is your first car and not well-versed with the ins and outs of owning one (costs, maintenance), then taking a leap of faith at a pre-owned car for the relatively little savings you may get is probably not the most prudent thing to do. Besides, as tight as your budget already is (taking 4 years to pay for a pre-owned subcompact car), I don't think you can afford to take unexpected out-of-warranty costs or even repairs.
My unsolicited advice to you (and you can stop reading from here if you hate such) is to save your money for now, put it in a low-risk investment in a few months, put the tax savings you will get (from TRAIN) to said money, do more overtime at your gig/work, then come back to PSBank after, say, six months where you have more cash to put into whatever it is you will choose then. The repo'd car in the next year will still be those bought at pre-ET prices so I suppose they will still be selling in PSBank at around the same price you see now for the same units and mileage. Although there might be more bidders then as the gap between pre-owned and brand new will be more apparent.
There is no need to rush getting a second hand car now as there will ALWAYS be repossessed ones there (people never learn their lesson, so don't be one of them while you still can).
