Built for How East Tennessee Drives
Our used cars in Knoxville are set up for the way this region actually commutes — fuel-efficient four-cylinders for the daily run up and down I-75 and I-640, comfortable highway sedans for trips between Knoxville and Oak Ridge, Clinton, Maryville, or Farragut, and easy-parking hatchbacks that fit downtown and the UT area without drama. Most of our car inventory ships with modern essentials: Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, backup cameras, Bluetooth, and Bluetooth-connected key entry on newer model years.
Commuter Cars & First Cars
For commuters: High-MPG sedans like the Camry, Corolla, Civic, Elantra, and Altima that turn the I-75 commute into a much cheaper line item on your budget.
For students and first-time buyers: Affordable, easy-to-insure compacts and hatchbacks — Mirage, Soul, Civic, Corolla — with the safety features modern parents want and the running costs students can actually afford. Pair with our used cars under $15,000 for the tightest budgets.
Car Financing at Hilltop
Whether this is your first car, a replacement after an accident, or a step up from an older daily driver, our finance team works with a deep network of national and regional lenders to put together approvals across the credit spectrum — strong credit, rebuilding credit, first-time buyer with no credit history, and self-employed.
