And there go the first cars from the infamous Discaya collection. On November 20, 2025, the Bureau of Customs held a public auction for seven vehicles that were previously owned and then voluntarily surrendered by the Discaya family.
At the end of the auction, only three cars were sold. Namely, these were the 2019 Brabus G500 4x42, the 2022 Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG, and the 2021 Lincoln Navigator L. The trio fetched over P38 million after the final bids, but the total estimate of all seven cars was valued at P103.87 million.
The P45 million Rolls-Royce Cullinan is still on the lot, as well as the US-made Toyota Sequoia and Tundra. The sale of the Bentley Bentayga also ended in a failed bid. These cars will be reevaluated by the bureau, and another auction will be held at a later date. The bureau is also processing six more vehicles that were also surrendered by the Discaya family.

During our visit to the bureau, we were surprised to see that the bidding for the Brabus G-Wagen was only going to start at around P7.8 million. While those aren’t peanuts, our contacts around the industry valued this particular, imported G-Wagen somewhere between P15 to P17 million. Rather appropriately, the winning bid was placed at P15.50 million.
The same bidder also won the G63 AMG for just over P15.611 million.
Another surprise was the Navigator SUV, which sold for P7.10 million, around P60,000 over its floor price. The exact unit had exposed wires throughout the front half of the cabin, which surely would’ve hurt its valuation. Customs explained that the SUV was in the process of getting bulletproofed, hence the gutted interior. It looks like the new owner has quite the project car on their hands.
The bureau has not confirmed when the next auction will take place. We can expect the existing lots to decrease in value, but given that these are mostly luxury and specially imported vehicles, they’ll still cost more than a pretty penny.
