Buying the 2017 Fiat 500
No 2017 Fiat 500 is for sale by CarmaCars at the moment; this page helps you judge the car before you buy one elsewhere. We are not a lender and do not arrange loans. A monthly rental can cover the time while you arrange financing with your bank. The 2017 Fiat 500 for buyers: what the numbers say, what to check, how to try it.
Before you sign for the 500
Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. Owners filed 30 complaints with NHTSA, most often about electrical system, engine and structure; have those parts checked. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace.
Engine and fuel
The 1.4L 4-cylinder with front-wheel drive is the powertrain to look at. 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.
It is rated at 7.0 L/100 km combined; 300 km takes about 21 litres. A weekend of 300 km comes to about $36.75 at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$2,400 a year for 15,000 miles.
What the 500 is like
As a sports car, it puts the driving first and the luggage second. EPA lists 198 litres of luggage space, enough for about a large suitcase and a couple of soft bags.
Who it is for
It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town. It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next.
Try before you buy
A test week in the 500 tells you more than any review. Try the 500 on your commute, then decide. Rent first, buy later: a week with the 500 answers the big questions.
Money matters
Premium gas adds to the running cost compared with a car on regular. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary.
Narrowing it down
If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. 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.
Questions first?
Rent it for a week, then decide: send a request with your dates.
Rent it for a week before you buy
