1 Used FIAT cars for sale in Dubai

Surprisingly well for the money involved — Fiats average about 57% of their value after five years across the models we can measure. A cheap car that stays cheap to own is a good outcome.

Be honest with yourself: a Hyundai or Kia hatchback of the same age costs less to run, sells faster and never needs a specialist. Fiat wins only if you want the car itself, which is a good enough reason.

Not without work, so here the inspection is the purchase decision. One in five of the Fiats we have inspected in the UAE arrives with a fault in the engine, gearbox, suspension or steering, against the 7% we would expect for cars of the same age and mileage in this market, and the same 20% turn up on mismatched or damaged tyres, against the 8% we would expect on that basis. That is deferred maintenance on a small European car whose parts cost more than its owner wanted to spend.

The 500 is the one if the appeal is the design and the parking, and it is the simpler of the two to keep going. The 500X adds ride height, four doors and a usable boot — the choice if this has to be your only car.
