This Lease For A 2024 Fiat 500e At $19 A Month And $0 Down Is Basically A Free Car

The Fiat 500e is small, electric and starts a little under $35,000. It’s also more spacious than the old 500e and comes with significantly more range. Unfortunately for Fiat, there aren’t a lot of places in the U.S. where its small size is an advantage, so it’s a little surprising that Fiat decided to offer it stateside. Even if you have no interest in buying a little EV, how would you feel about leasing one for $19 a month and $0 down? Because that’s a real offer from a dealer in Colorado. - Collin Woodard Read More

Like a lot of readers, I have to admit I’m addicted to speed. Motorcycles and EVs that make absurd amounts of power have also ruined me, making cars that are objectively quick feel normal and sometimes slow, even. If I want to get my fix, I need to be behind the wheel of something seriously fast and preferably lightweight. And yet, even I know better than to go near the 2008 Ultima GTR on Cars & Bids that’s also allegedly street-legal. I just got done almost dying and have no intention of trying that again. - Collin Woodard Read More
