FIAT Depreciation

The Fiat 500 was cute when it entered the market with its high-profile celebrity endorsements, but that hasn't done the car any favors in the used vehicle market, as their resale value has fallen considerably. Fiat ranks at or near the bottom for brand value retention at all three measurement intervals. History would suggest that you should buy one only after it has some mileage and years on it, as they become much cheaper once they age. Fiat has also dropped all but the 500L model in the US market.

The 2018 is our top pick for the best model year value for the FIAT vehicles. With the 2018, you would only pay, on average, 57% of the price as new, with 75% of the vehicle's useful life remaining. The 2015 and 2019 model years are also attractive years for the FIAT models, and provide a relatively good value. Our rankings consider multiple factors, including original new prices, current prices, maintenance costs and remaining years of overall predictabe expenses. Our top ranked model year represents the most car for the money with a FIAT model.
