Used Cars, Trucks & SUVs Under $10,000 in East Tennessee
A dependable vehicle doesn't have to stretch your budget. At Farris Motor Company, our under-$10,000 inventory gives drivers in Jefferson City, Morristown, White Pine, Dandridge, New Market and Talbott a simple place to shop affordable used cars, trucks and SUVs. It's a popular page for first-time buyers, Carson-Newman University and Walters State Community College students, parents shopping for a teen's first car, and anyone who wants a second vehicle without taking on a big payment.
What You'll Find in Our Budget Inventory
Vehicles priced under $10,000 move quickly, so the selection changes often. Shoppers regularly find compact SUVs like the Toyota RAV4, Buick Encore and Jeep Patriot, fuel-sipping commuter cars like the Ford Focus, and older pickups like the Ford F-150 that are ready for farm work, hauling or weekend projects. Because Farris sells new Jeep, Ram, Dodge, Chrysler and Ford vehicles in Jefferson City and Morristown, many of these budget-friendly vehicles come to us as local trade-ins from East Tennessee drivers.
Smart Tips for Buying a Used Car Under $10K
Look at the whole vehicle, not just the miles
At this price point, higher mileage is common. A well-maintained vehicle with more miles can be a better buy than a lower-mileage one that has been neglected. Review the photos, vehicle details and history information on each listing, and ask our team any questions before you visit.
Think about your daily drive
If you commute from Jefferson City or Morristown to Knoxville on I-40 or I-81, fuel economy and comfort matter most. If you live out toward Cherokee Lake, Douglas Lake or the back roads of Hamblen, Jefferson and Grainger counties, a small SUV or truck may make more sense.
Budget for the total cost
Plan ahead for tax, title, registration and insurance so the price on the window isn't the only number you're thinking about. Our car loan calculator can help you see what fits.
