I like the idea of a small EV that's zippy and easy to park, but there aren't many options out there. I found this one at a local dealership. It has a clean title and 60k miles. It feels a bit expensive even for the Bay Area.

My daily commute is 20 miles round trip, split between highway and city driving, so about 120 miles a week in total. I can charge at work and at home.

I'm also worried because it's not a popular car. If something breaks, fixing it and sourcing parts could get complicated.

Is this a fair price, and would you buy it?

Hey all, hoping to get some real opinions before I do something dumb.

I'm looking at a used Fiat 500e. I'm a new driver and I'm still making small mistakes, so picking something like a Honda with less drama feels like a better choice. But there is something about me that really likes small, zippy cars that fit in every hole.

How needy are these things? Are they always in the shop or are they pretty chill day to day?

I'm curious if there are mechanics around to get it serviced. How does it feel on the highway? My commute is short, around 20 miles both directions, but it involves driving on 280.

And for buying used, what year should I be looking at? Any years to avoid? What should I check before I hand over money?

Appreciate any advice. Thanks.
