The Fiat 500 is a city car first and everything else second: small, easy to park, and cheap to buy compared with almost anything else on UAE roads today.
How much does a used Fiat 500 cost in the UAE?
AED 18500 to AED 18500, with current listings mostly from the 2020 model year. This is one of the cheapest ways into a nearly new-feeling small car here, provided the service history backs that up.
Which used Fiat 500 year should you buy?
The 500 has kept the same retro shape and platform for most of its production run, so a newer example mainly buys fresher trim and infotainment rather than a mechanical step change. Favour a well-documented car over a slightly newer one with a thin file.
How long does a Fiat 500 last?
The cars we inspect here run a median of 40,000 km, low enough that this is still mostly a car bought for city duty rather than long-distance grinding. At that kind of mileage, condition and how it's been parked day to day tell you more than the odometer does.
Fiat 500 or Kia Rio?
The similarly priced Kia Rio shows interior staining on 47% of cars against the 34% we would expect for city cars of this age here, worse than the 500's own results. The cheaper Ford Figo comes in even higher at 58% against the same benchmark, which makes the 500 the tidier cabin of the three if you can stretch to it.
What to look over on a used Fiat 500
- Clutch feel and gear engagement on the manual gearbox.
- Air conditioning performance, essential and heavily used in this climate.
- Interior trim and upholstery condition, since this is a small cabin that shows wear fast.
- Parking sensor and reverse camera function if fitted.
