Used FIAT Vehicles for Sale in Philadelphia, PA

Fiat cars always seemed to be a kind of an exotic European thing here in the States. Until recently, to be honest, it was way too European to enter the American automotive market successfully. But in 2014, FIAT SpA merged 100% shares with Chrysler, and Fiat Chrysler Automobiles company was founded. Thus, Fiat automobiles were granted a full-fledged American residence permit and started to show up on the road here and there. Some of them look really not bad. So, what if you decided to experience a bit of automotive Italy in your heart under the familiar Chrysler umbrella and really thinking about buying yourself a Fiat?

Of course, the first thing you want to consider is purchasing a new Fiat. Dropping by a dealership taking a look at the new vehicle price, trying to get a loan turned down. Sounds familiar? Don’t feel out and down. There is a sure way to get yourself a decent used Fiat vehicle. The price will be significantly lower, and financing is usually available. Pros, cons, and issues for older Fiat releases already known.  

To feel confident, take a look at the Consumer Reports' Car Reliability annual subscriber survey to see customer opinion and rating for used Fiat vehicles. Having that done, ask yourself a question “what is the best used Fiat dealership near me?” Make a shortlist of used Fiat dealerships around your area, noting the cars worth evaluation and test-drive.    

After the Fiat-Chrysler merge, so far, just three models were presented to the US market - Fiat 500, Fiat 500L, and Fiat 124 Spyder with different Fiat and Alfa-Romeo engines.

• Fiat 500 had multiple major issues with just about everything from engine and transmission to suspension and electronics. Given that Fiat-Chrysler even decided to discontinue selling these vehicles in the US for some time in an attempt to analyze and fix it. 
• 2012-2016 Fiat 500 Abarth, 2012 -2016 Fiat 500 are only good buys as the fun vehicle, for recreational, “driving to school” or “third car in the family” purposes.
