Buying the 2016 Fiat 500
We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no 2016 Fiat 500 for sale by us right now. This page sets out the 2016 Fiat 500 for buyers, in plain words.
Before you sign for the 500
A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay.
The figures, translated
It uses the 1.4L 4-cylinder and front-wheel drive. It calls for premium gas, which costs more a litre than regular. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.
Plan on about 21 litres per 300 km; the combined rating is 7.0 L/100 km. In energy, every 100 km costs about $12.25 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$2,400 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
When the 500 makes sense
It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while. It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else.
The 500 in everyday use
Low and compact, it is a car for the drive more than the cargo. In plain terms, its 198 litres of luggage space hold about a large suitcase and a couple of soft bags.
Try before you buy
Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer. A week with the 500 answers more than any brochure. A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel.
Narrowing it down
Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it.
What it costs to run
The EPA estimates US$2,400 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $12.25 in fuel. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $122.50 at our price setting.
