It's really that easy. Get started today.

A Little Knowledge Can Make A Big Difference.

Choice of Vehicle/Trade

The loan rates available to you will be based on the year, model, and final cost of the vehicle you choose.

Credit History/Employment

Your rates are based on numerous factors such as income, employment and credit history, including the number of open balances and late payments.

Down Payment/Interest Rate

The more money you can put down the higher your chances are of being approved and the lower your rates are likely to be.

Before applying for credit, it's always helpful to know your credit score which can measure from 350 to 850. The higher your credit score the less you are considered to be a risk. That translates to a lower interest rate. However, whether or not you know your credit score you can still use our credit application tool.

Factors Affecting Your Credit Score

Number of open credit accounts, loan and credit card payment history, amount of debt compared to annual income, frequency of credit inquiries, and number of liens and judgments.

To learn your credit score you can contact the three main credit reporting agencies:

      How Much Is My Ford Worth Near Knoxville, TN? Trade-In FAQs

      Here are answers to common questions about trading in or selling a vehicle at Ted Russell Ford.

      How can I find out what my vehicle is worth at Ted Russell Ford?

      Enter your vehicle's year, make, model, mileage, features, and general condition into the KBB-based online trade tool to receive an initial estimate. A final value is confirmed once the vehicle is inspected in person at either Ted Russell Ford location.

      What information do I need to value my trade online?

      The online trade tool typically asks for your vehicle's year, make, model, mileage, trim, and general condition, along with details on any vehicle you're considering purchasing. This helps generate an initial estimate before you visit.

      Is my online trade-in estimate the final value?

      No, the online estimate is a starting point rather than a guaranteed amount. Ted Russell Ford confirms a final value after inspecting the vehicle in person and reviewing its condition and history.

      What factors could increase or lower my vehicle's trade-in value?

      Mileage, overall condition, maintenance and accident history, and current demand for your specific make and model in the Knoxville area can all affect the appraised value. Cosmetic wear or needed repairs may also be factored in during inspection.

      Can I trade in a vehicle that I still owe money on?

      Yes, vehicles with an existing loan balance can typically be traded in. The finance team looks up your payoff amount and factors it into the transaction as part of the appraisal and financing process.

      What happens if I owe more than my trade-in is worth?

      This is known as being upside down or having negative equity. Depending on your financing terms and lender approval, the remaining balance may be added to a new loan, though this isn't guaranteed and should be discussed with the finance team based on your specific situation.

      Can I trade in a vehicle that is not a Ford?

      In many cases, yes. Dealerships commonly appraise vehicles across a range of makes and models, not only the brand they sell new, but it's best to confirm with the Ted Russell Ford team whether your specific vehicle qualifies.

      Can I trade in my vehicle toward a new Ford or a pre-owned vehicle?

      Yes, your trade-in value can generally be applied toward a vehicle from the new Ford inventory or the used inventory, including models covered under Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles.

      Can I trade in a leased Ford at Ted Russell Ford?

      It depends on your lease terms and leasing company. Some leased vehicles may be eligible for an early trade or buyout, while others may need to go through the standard lease-end process. The Ford lease return page for Knoxville, TN has more information, or you can contact your leasing company directly to confirm your options.

      What documents should I bring for a trade-in appraisal?

      Bring your vehicle's title or loan information, current registration, all sets of keys, and any maintenance records you have available. If there's an existing loan, having your account information on hand can help the finance team confirm your payoff amount.

      Can Ted Russell Ford evaluate my vehicle if I am not ready to buy another one?

      Yes, the trade-in tool and in-person appraisal work whether or not you're purchasing another vehicle at the same time. You can get a valuation now and decide later.

      Where can I value my trade near Knoxville, TN?

      You can value your trade online through Ted Russell Ford, then schedule an in-person appraisal at either the Kingston Pike or Parkside Drive location, or reach out through the contact page with any questions before getting started.
