Before You Buy a Used Fiat 500

The Fiat 500's compact size and style make it an obvious first-car candidate, but buy the individual car rather than the image.

Check for hard urban use

Small cars often spend their lives on short journeys and tight parking. Inspect wheels, tyres, bumpers, clutch feel, steering and bodywork carefully.

Cabin condition matters

Test every switch, window, lock and warning lamp. Small electrical irritations are easy to dismiss during a quick viewing but annoying once you own the car.

Do not assume tiny means cheap insurance

The size of the car is not the premium. Compare the exact version with other sensible small cars before deciding.

Small dimensions do not guarantee a small premium, so compare this Fiat with the other little cars on your shortlist.
