Used Fiat 500 Cars For Sale

Fiat’s have a bit of a poor reputation for reliability and the little 500 hasn’t been immune from trouble. Happily, repairs tend to be quite cheap for Cinquecento so if anything does crop up fixing them isn’t much of a headache.

Value is often based on desirability and character as it is the cost of the sheet metal and engine parts and this is where the 500 comes up tumps. With a very lovable form, the 500 has held onto its value better than most superminis, with the new electric version doing even better.

There are plenty of 500s still on the road from the day it relaunched. Indeed, there are still a good number of original models still out there. Look after your 500 well and it’ll hit 200,000 miles.There are plenty of 500s still on the road from the day it relaunched. Indeed, there are still a good number of original models still out there.

It can certainly handle them okay. For two people. Because of the tiny rear bench, however, it’s not really a family road-tripper. It can also be a little flighty at motorway speeds.

A more common complaint in earlier models has been trouble with their gears. This issue was largely resolved in later models – and eliminated entirely when electrified – but check the clutch and gears out in person, if you can. And ask the owner about their experience.
