Used FIAT cars for sale near Ladera Heights, CA under $12,000

In 2008, my folks bought a new Chrysler Pacifica Limited. The car sales man was great. He knew all about the car and showed us everything about it. The dealership it's self is beautiful and super clean. They also have AWESOME cars inside in which you can sit and mess around in. The overall rating is a 4 BECAUSE, it is so hard to get a hold of these guys to take the car in. We've called 4 or 5 times to only leave messages that have never been responded to, so we are planning on just going there whether they want us to or not!

This is my first car. I adore it. I get loads of compliments—it’s super attractive and sporty with the convertible roof and the sleek two door design. Fiat really capitalizes on the small interior of the 500C with smart design. There’s no center console but there are still 4 cups holders, large (spanning the whole length of the doors) compartments in each door, a compartment between the front seats, a net pocket by the passenger side under the glove box, and a large pocket on the back of the passenger seat. What I’m saying is this: don’t be fooled by the size. There is ample room inside for what I need to carry with me, in fact, more space than I need. I usually drive alone or with a passenger and I have no kids, so I never feel cramped. I was able to fit $500 of groceries between the passenger seat and floor, backseat and floor, and the trunk. I’ve gone on numerous 2hr drives with a passenger with zero complaints of feeling cramped or claustrophobic. The inside is comparable to the feel of a standard sedan. A little smaller since the car is narrow, but comfortable. It also has a luxury feel to me. The dash is retro and adorable with knobs and the exterior color. The stereo is great and has a touch screen and GPS. The speakers’ bass is surprisingly heavy. I love the digital dash—odometer, speedometer, gas gauge, rpm, gas economy, engine and outside temp, tire pressure, date, time, miles left in your tank, how many miles your trip has been, etc. It has two different options for a little image of a Fiat which I love. It tells you which door is open if one is which is convenient. Everything on the dash is circular and centralized. There are so many small details that I love about this car—the houndstooth print seats, the leather steering wheel, backup sensors, steering wheel radio controls, window controls by the shifter, lights on the side of the car that blink with your directionals, the fact that if you open the trunk with the top down, the top automatically goes up one notch and the trunk opens saving you from having to enter the car and put the top up, little “Fiat” inscriptions in the headlights, and many other things. It rides great—very smooth for a compact car. Maneuverable, good tension on the wheel and pedals. The AC and heat cool and warm the car fast. The doors are large and heavy. The media, dash, and wheel controls are user-friendly. The car feels very sturdy and safe, but also cozy. Excellent gas mileage. You do have to use 91 or 93 octane gas but the tank is only 10 gallons and you’ll only find yourself filling it every few weeks if you drive a normal amount (to and from work, the store, etc). It’s a very responsive car—it does exactly what you want it to do. The only test is the winter. It is not AWD, so I will be getting snow tires and driving carefully. I feel confident about it. The car isn’t really lower than an average sedan but watch out for bottoming out. I don’t know anything about engines, but under the hood was extremely clean when I got it, whatever that means. There are two USB ports, a lighter port, and an AUX port. Middle E-brake which I prefer and a steering column in the middle, not on the steering wheel. Mine is automatic but driving this car stick would be a blast. Overall, an amazing car and I know it will be reliable and exactly what I need until the time comes for another car. I bought it with very low mileage so I’m not worried about repairs which I understand can be expensive since the car is Italian and parts can be tricky to find. I needed a reliable car to put a lot of miles on for a while and this is it!

We met a very helpful internet sales rep named Maria, whose communication skills set her apart from the other Lexus dealerships. She was lovely and knowledgeable in person. We were paying cash and agreed on a price quickly-our only concern was how many hours it took to finalize the deal with so many attempts to sell us on maintanence packages.

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.

They were great!! They got right back to me and gave me all the details I needed!!

professional..however a lot of the cars they are selling don't run or need extensive work..it makes me feel the ads are a bit deceptive..not disclosing that info upfront..I wouldn't have wasted my time pursuing these vehicles

I THINK IT WAS VERY EASY TO DO BUNESS WITH THEM AND I AM SADFIED JIM PFALZGRAF

Fiat didn't market the 500 correctly. I had a 500 Sport manual that I bought new. It is amazingly fun to drive, incredibly fuel efficient (37+ mpg at a minimum) and a ton of room when you fold the seats down. I went from a Porsche 911 turbo as my daily driver to the cinquecento (500 in Italian). The Fiat was more fun to drive basically because you could floor it everywhere and when I'd look at the speedometer I'd be going 52 mph! In the Porsche I'd be going 130. I drove it multiple times over a thousand miles in a day. Seats were comfortable, sat radio, and Beats sound system rocked. I sold it and bought an i3. Never had a problem with the Fiat. Inexpensive to maintain and the Fiat dealer was great for service. Fun to drive, utilitarian, and great gas mileage. I wish I still had it. If I had a giant garage, I would have kept it.

Great on gas. and very comfortables. Had an amazing sound system. Great value for the price. I would recommend this car I anyone who commutes .
