Used FIAT 500e for sale near Costa Mesa, CA

Anthony went above and beyond expectations to get the vehicle of my choice. Would highly recommend friends and family to purchase their next vehicle here.

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.

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.

I had the best car sales experience of my life here, it was easy, no pressure and positive. I found the car online, it was a cherry 2016 Mustang Eco-sport Premium, called to confirm it was still available and made an appointment to come see it in person. Craig Wick was an awesome salesman, very personable, super chill and knowledgeable; his office was full of music memorabilia and his desk itself looks like a piece of art. He took time to go over what I wanted, he even took the time to show me a music video and talk show clip based on our conversation. Craig let me drive the car on city streets and the highway, taking as long as I needed to feel comfortable. They gave me a fair, no-hassle price for a certified used car (that included the free CARFAX info) and didn’t try to talk me into buying lots of extras; they presented available options and answered all my questions. Craig used to restore Mustangs and let me know that the car color used to be known as Strawberry, now it’s called Ruby Red, but I love the Strawberry better and it was fun to learn about the historic information. Craig’s sales manager David Gallardo took the extra time to find me a better interest rate based on my credit because he felt there had to be a better rate for my excellent history. Then David spent nearly a full hour showing me how my car’s system worked, finished getting me set up (Craig helped get it started) and made sure everything was working correctly. They put a big bow on the car and take your picture with your new purchase, a nice touch! I would absolutely buy from them again and would recommend them without any reservations.

Our experience with Joseph was phenomenal! His impeccable professionalism compels me to refer family and friends! Thank you Joseph ❤️

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

Andrew was very good and helpful. Made the whole transaction easier and fast. Completely explained everything.

I bought the 2016 Fiat 500e in 2019, as an off-lease used car with 45,000 miles on it. As of this review I now have 49,000 miles and the car still drives and performs like a new car. The 2016 model is somewhat updated from earlier versions, I can easily drive up to 90 miles around town, or up to about 75 miles at highway speeds. The car has acceleration like a sports car and is extremely easy to drive and park just about anywhere. The interior is well designed and surprisingly spacious. For an average commuter driving typically less than 60 miles per day, this car works well and saves a lot of money by not buying gas. One of the non-advertised features is that the Fiat factory supplied charging cord can be used on 120 Volts (Level 1 charging) or 240 Volts (Level 2 charging). This means that you do not need to purchase additional expensive charging equipment to fully charge the car in about 6 hrs. This car does not have a big enough battery for long trips, but as a low maintenance, money saving commuter car, this car is truly a hidden gem in the EV market. I would highly recommend this car.

gracias eddie nos aprobaron por otro carro gracias a el i a david thank you

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!

I had a great experience at California Motors Direct. Eddie was incredibly helpful and made the whole process smooth and stress-free. I had my toddler son with me, and the team went above and beyond to make sure we were both comfortable during our visit. They were professional, patient, and very accommodating. I truly appreciated the excellent customer service and would definitely recommend California Motors Direct to anyone looking for a positive car-buying experience.

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

Kevin was very patient and attentive to what our vehicle needs were. He worked with what we wanted. Would work with California Motors Direct again!

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.

Great service! Was very helpful in finding the right fit for me. Jeremy got me a great deal.

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.

Shawn and the team at Finesse A Car have gone above and beyond in regards to service. I have never experienced such patience and customer service like I have with them. They fixed some cosmetic issues with a car that I wanted to buy, Tal is also set to perform another minor fix to the car I purchased from them. I can’t recommend them enough, if you’re thinking about buying a used EV, please do yourself a favor and visit the finesse team! Take a look at the car you want in their inventory and they’ll work with you. We’re happy with the Tesla model 3 that we bought from this fantastic team! We may even have to come back for another quality used EV from this amazing team. Anastasia, Shawn and Tal, and the rest of the team here, you are all top notch. Thank you again.

I have a great time driving this car. The mpg is great and really saves me money. Easy to get around in and spacious for a small car.

My experience with stg was a great one Daniel my car salesman was honest and made sure I understood everything that I was signing I’m definitely going to spread the word and going to tell where I bought my 2021 Chevrolet Silverado at and that they need to ask for my boy Daniel ask for Daniel

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.
