Used FIAT 500e for sale near Chicago, IL

Still talking with them about buying a car. Very responsive and also proactive. Th you

Purchased this vehicle used in mid-2024 with 42K miles. Third owner. There is virtually no learning curve when switching from an ICE vehicle to the Fiat 500e. Despite its tiny, ultra compact exterior, it provides substantial interior room for two fairly large people (6’5”/290 lb and 6’2”/230 lb). Headroom is excellent - better than the majority of ICE vehicles. Legroom is good given that I have a 35” inseam. Shoulder room is adequate for two large males. In summary, the Fiat 500e is amazingly comfortable transportation for two large people. But no one is riding in the backseat unless the driver and front passenger are 5’6” or less. Cargo is, as you would expect, is quite limited, although I have found it to be adequate for daily activities with the rear seats folded. Performance is peppy up through 60-70 mph. The air conditioner has an auto-temperature feature and works well. The factory sound system is excellent. And the braking system is very smooth and predictable and transitions seamlessly between regenerative braking and physical braking at 6 mph and below. I absolutely love the Fiat 500e as a local commuter.

John Branham was helpful from the very first phone call to the sales department to the end of the deal. I would definitely recommend working with John as he took personal interest in ensuring that we were well taken care of especially given our unique situation buying a car out of state. He was professional, friendly, knowledgeable and took the time to educate us and to give us the best deal possible.

Great so far no issues just wish it had a little more travel range and faster charging, other then that it’s a great little car

Can’t say enough about the service I received on our vehicle. Tim went way out of his way to get our vehicle fixed. Parts were on back order, but he was able to find the parts, and repaired it. We were leaving to go on vacation. Thanks Tim, and your service department.

My wife & I have bought 2 vehicles from the dealership in the last year. An EV6 in June 2024 and a Sportage XL Prestige in July 2025. Our salesman James Wind was very knowledgable, friendly and patient. He listened to our needs and gave us great recommendations. He did not feel any pressure at all to purchase a vehicle or add-ons. He answered every question that we had. Gave us test drives in the vehicles we were interested in. Introduced us to the Service Manager Kim and the finance manager. Everyone in the dealership was friendly. Carriage even gave us a better trade-in deal for our 2022 Subaru Outback Touring than Subaru would! We will be back next year for another vehicle and looking forward to working with James Wind again.

I’ve had this car for 6 years now and it still performs as good as the day I bought it. It’s quick at acceleration, the best car I’ve ever driven for turns and handling and ZERO maintenance! I took it to the dealership last year for any needed upkeep, the dealership specialist said everything was fine. No break work needed, no alternators, timing belts, battery changes, I’ve never had a car that required no upkeep, it’s amazing. I had bodywork finished on my Fiat 500e due to another driver backing into my car. I rented a BMW and a Tesla, the Fiat 500e easily handles the best, it can zoom past traffic and glide into parking spaces easily. The BMW choked at corners and low speeds and I felt like I was turning a boat while driving it, it felt like the BMW was downgrade compared to the 500e. /rant over Fiat 500e xxxx yeah!

Everyone was welcoming, pleasant, and putting their all into meeting your needs and beyond. It was a great experience, especially for a first time buyer. Victor was amazing and they all want what is best for you and your needs. I was truly satisfied and am happy with my purchase!

It was so easy to get a car, something I could afford and not a junker. It's been years since I could afford to do this and I'm very happy with the choice and the ease of financing. Thank you and I highly recommend this dealership. Akom was the best.

Purchased my 2013 Orange + white interior 500e in 2019. This is a great little zippy runabout, handles well, a cinch to park and . Even with a nearly 10 year old battery it still has a decent range which can reliably manage a 75 mile round-trip before needing a charge. It has close to 77,000 miles on it and the only component I've had to replace in the last couple of years was the 12V battery.

We bought a 2024 Ram 1500 Limited. Outstanding staff, Ivan was extremely helpful and accommodating; staff was very professional. Great team and what a beautiful truck! Cannot recommend Ivan enough!

Great vehicle and great service and loyalty, David Spillers makes u feel like ur very important and very needed . I come up there just to see him and plus he’s nice to look at

Trustworthy dealership. Best prices..beat competitors prices. Amazing warranty. Highly recommend!

The way I understand it, Fiat/Chrysler had to sell an electric car to meet CA fleet requirements, so they put a Bosch motor and a battery pack into their Fiat 500, and desire the high price ($33,000 or so) they still lost $14,000 on each car, all so they could sell their overpriced Jeeps. So in 2017 this was a $47k car being sold for $33k. Now you can buy it for under $10k. Additionally, none of these batteries have ever been charged over a level 2 charger. The car doesn’t do fast charging, which degrades the battery. So the battery is probably going to be in good shape. AND since it only has a range of ~80 miles, a lot of these from 2017 will only have been driven by people who weren’t commuting with them. You can find them with less than 10k miles on them. Anyway, my daily commute is twelve miles, no one ever rides with me, and this car is perfect for it. Italian design that looks about a hundred times better than a Chevy spark, German motor that’s probably worth more than the car, acceleration and handing like a go-cart: I love it.

I did everything online. Got the clear to fly down; got there and signed paperwork & off the lot in less than 15 minutes

Great staff. Great prices, they have a service department at the rear of the dealership, and offer credit union financing options.

Zippy, excellent pickup, and fun to drive! Perfect second car. Amazing in every way...performance, reliability, and ease. Was fine with the Level One charger that came with, plugged it into my garage every night and had no problems.

I had a positive experience buying a used car with Caesar It was an Electric Burgundy Nissan Leaf. The price was in our price range. Caesar and his Manager David Gallardo made it easy to purchase and we were in and out. Thank you for a pleasant transaction.

I bought my Mazda 2024 sedan. What a perfect car great deal great trade in Great price great guys Bryant Tony and Kervin what a great team they travel 200 miles for me and I travel 200 miles. These boys were great. They were kind not pushy. They were wonderful. They went way high and above for me. They made me feel like a princess. This is my first car I’ve ever bought brand new for myself. They were wonderful to me. Absolutely wonderful Culver City Mazda was just wonderful if I ever buy another car, I’ll go to them. I don’t care how far away they are. My name is Sandra Fortino and I am very happy with my purchase. I’m from Gilroy,California go Culver City Mazda you guys rock I’ll never forget you.

Living in Houston, everything that I need is within 12 miles. I, and my son, also use the car for work which usually uses 17 miles, but may use up to the 84 miles of range. I also haul up to five dogs to the park every night (8 miles). I have Level-1 and Level-2 chargers at home so there is never a problem with charging. It is a super fun car to drive and, thus, perfect for me.

The staff was great! Providing very helpful and efficient service when providing a loaner vehicle and dealing with a recall.

Kameron at Echo Park made this by far the best car-buying experience I’ve ever had. From start to finish, the process was completely pressure-free. Kameron led with integrity and he actually asked what my budget was and what I was comfortable paying each month, then respected those boundaries (a rare and beautiful thing in car sales). He took the time to find me a great car with low mileage, explained everything clearly, and got me approved without any issues, even with my significantly less than ideal credit. No games, no pushing, no awkward sales tactics, just honest communication and excellent service. If you want a straightforward, no-nonsense car buying experience, Kameron is the person to work with. He was professional, honest, and easy to deal with throughout the entire process. I’d recommend him to anyone looking to buy a car without the usual stress or pressure.

If you do most of your driving around town and within 40 miles of your house you can essentially stop paying for gas. Before you consider an electric vehicle, you may have to consider your daily commute length in miles, whether you have a 220v plug inside of your garage or if you do not have a garage, if you have one nearby on an exterior wall. I have neither, but I do have a free charger 1 mile from my house which is not inconvenient to use at all. The best charging network in my area is Chargepoint. I recommend downloading the apps, and driving around looking at utility companies and city facilities to see what kind of free charging options may be near by. I have had no problems always charging for free and in fact in about a month, I've never paid for a charge. If you can charge within 1 mile of your house it's not inconvenient at all and the chargepoint app lets you monitor your charge and lets you see when chargers become available. If you do have to pay for charges, the cost to charge this up 12x at home based on average electricity costs and about 1000 miles a month is about $20 in most of the country, maybe even less. If you live in CA or HI, you can expect double or triple that price. IN CA if you have PGE especially. We got ours used with 16k miles on it out the door for $9,600 as our main car and a gas guzzling 12-14mpg 20 year old SUV as our just in case we need to go far car (which we plan to replace with a 40+ mpg hybrid within 3 years or a used chevy BOLT or Tesla 3) Prior to getting this car I was paying about $280 on average and up to $500 a month for fuel. The payment + full coverage is $180 a month. If I dumped all the savings onto the payment I'd have it comfortably paid off in 3-4 years and then would just be racking up hundreds of dollars in savings every month until the battery breaks. Biggest downside so far: Fiat dealerships are few and far between, they know they don't make money on repairs for these cars because there's not much to break on them other than some suspension and potentially some electrical components. We hit a curb and had to have it towed to a dealership, you have to request a flat bed, some tow truck drivers aren't familiar with how to tow these vehicles, and then the dealership lied to me about and told me the tire I had on the car was no longer produced and that I needed to replace all four tires. Other downsides: FORGET about being able to use the A/C as you please and especially the heater. These two features eat up energy like you would not believe. If you live in a very warm climate and can't get by with the windows down, it might be a deal breaker. Same for very cold places. The seats are heated which is nice in cold weather but if you live in like Michigan or something it might not be enough. The interior is pretty plasticky and the overall fit and finish of the car isn't great. We drove a spark too and just couldn't find one that was as great of a bargain, but the fit and finish is much better and the dealer network for Chevy is much larger than Fiat (at least where I live). Battery cost is prohibitive. Things I've read online place a replacement battery at around $23,500 to $36,000. I did find re-manufactured batteries online for $3500 but IDK. In California, the batteries are mandated by law to be protected for 8 years or 100k miles. If the battery goes bad after that, it may be a big paper weight. The Spark is no longer made, but currently the battery replacement cost per the dealership was $6000. Bottom line: This car is not for everybody, but if you do mostly city driving and especially if you're taking miles off of a car that is very inefficient, this could be the right car for you. There are definite trade-offs but they have been mostly a non-issue.

Came here expecting hidden fees and hours of back and forth and found none of that. We worked with Angel and test drove 2 cars fairly quickly. Shortly after we decided on a Scion. The price was a little higher than we budgeted for but Tristen was able to knock the price down a little to where we needed. Walked out the door happy, all within an hour and a half. If you want a pleasant experience, without hidden fees, Brown and Brown is the place. No nonsense indeed!

This car is awsome. It's very reliable and the beauty is that, you almost never have maintenance on it. Its clean and is pretty comfy.

Just purchased a Tacoma from Earnhardt Toyota. I live in Upstate NY. My salesman Dieter was the best. Most of our communication was done via texting. I had a million questions for Dieter and he would always answer me back without missing a beat. He also was able to make a video of a walk around of the truck and this was very helpful in making my decision in the remote purchase. Earnhardt setup the shipment of the truck to me as well. Thank You for such a pleasant experience.

My Fiat 500e was short-lived due to an accident, but it was a fantastic car once you get used to the range limitations. I work at home, but this car is a great second/commute car if that's relevant. First off, the car (mine was Celeste Blu) is a showstopper, and I constantly got compliments. The interior is equal parts stylish and quirky, all leather (mine was white/steam) and bright. A little cramped but crazy fun to drive. If you have a charger (I do), you just plug it in like a phone and it's always at 100%. The entertainment system is glitchy, but I added a mount and streamed from my phone. Overall, I miss this car and I'm sad I had to give it up. If you have the chance to get one, get one. It will probably be easy to sell later.

Great service. Keyshawn Brown was awesome. Thank you again for all your hard work. Thank u again.

Excellent customer service with friendly and knowledgeable agent Odin. Work was done promptly and to my satisfaction. I have been bringing my diesel truck to Platinum for service for years and have consistently had a good experience.

Bought my 2017 500e on a whim in 2020 and I am so glad I did. Still under warranty from Chrysler/Fiat until 2025. This Tri-Coat Orange with White accents comes with a sunroof and the original sticker was in the glove box stating the 2017 500e was $34400 + Taxes/Fees new. I picked this up for $8000 + Taxes/Fees at a dealer with 22k miles on it then got a $1000 rebate from So Cal Edison for buying an Electric Car. So $7000 for a $34K car 3 years later... Great Deal. Why not! The 500e is just like new since it was a lease return from Chrysler/Fiat the owner took great care of it. What a great fun car to drive. Fast off the line and perfect for a commuter car around town. I just plug it in at night, like my cell phone, and it's ready to go in the morning. I use the standard 120v for charging so takes longer but the I am no hurry as I said plug it in when I get home in the afternoon and ready to go the next day. This 500e is a hoot to drive leaving most cars in the rear view mirror. Highly recommend this Fiat 500e to anyone that just needs a car to drive around a city or commuter to work you get about 85 miles on a charge.

Last Saturday my wife and I took our Kia Telluride 2021 in for servicing. Our service advisor there, Nicole Scott, is an excellent representative for your dealership. She is welcoming, knowledgable, polite, ... just about everything one would want in an employee. We left with such a positive "vibe" from the experience that we hope to work with her again.

Dealers who sell pre-owned or off-lease are selling these in MN. There may be one near you, too. It's definitely worth checking, as the range is a make-or-break for many people. This car is affordable because of its range. Sure, the estimate will display up to 124 miles (could be more) when fully charged, but as you start driving, you'll see that first percent only gets you about half a real-life mile, and so it continues. I can absolutely count on 50 real-life miles per charge normally. Not normally: range can drop to 40 miles if the ambient temperature is below 10-degrees Fahrenheit, or above 95 degrees (F). Both the motor and the battery have to regulate their operating temp, and it sucks electricity to run those systems. Same with cabin temp. Too, some public chargers won't charge this car below 10 degrees (F). The displayed mileage I now call my "efficiency score." I've gotten it as high as 124, but generally sit around 110... because I don't use freeways. Faster speeds draw more juice, but given you're covering greater distance, it doesn't make as big a difference as lots of deep (slow downs and) accelerations. It's a learning curve, to be sure. I dropped a star from "comfort" because the back seats are super cramped, and the trunk is 11" deep with the seats up (though it's pretty normal as a two-seater). Had they angled the back wall more vertically, it would have created a lot more usable space. One last complaint: as with every post-2010 car I've seen, there isn't enough glass to actually see the road. I'm wobbling around in my seat trying to see around the supports, but I can't find anything different that isn't virtually vintage. Glass isn't cheap, lightweight, nor particularly safe... *during* a crash. Here's why I love it: as a mom (I have three people's worth of driving to do, plus some return trips), I'm saving over US$200/mo paying for electricity instead of gas. Yes, you can plug it right into a regular outlet for a slow charge. That's enough for getting around a decently-sized metro area, 'burbs included. I used my savings this summer to rent and ICE and take a road trip. It's dangerously responsive; the steering and acceleration are so tight it took me months to adjust. Way, way fun. People love that I'm tackling electric, and the magic of a car loan on this car makes it doable for anyone over 18 years old with a middling credit record. It's a good bleeding edge place to be. One caveat: second owners don't get all the digital features, like location tracking and the account that goes with it, Tom-tom/GPS-system updates, remote starting (which never worked for most people, anyway). Forget connecting or hacking... legally. It's still a great car, and you need internet on your phone to charge at public chargers, but the car won't connect to anything for anything except by Bluetooth, and even then only to make phone calls. You'll want a Bluetooth dongle to connect for media consumption.
