Skip the Seller Stress. Selling a vehicle on your own can be time-consuming and frustrating. From posting ads and navigating online listings to answering messages and meeting unfamiliar buyers, the process can quickly become overwhelming. When you sell your vehicle to Parkside Auto, we handle the details so you don’t have to.
Save Time. At Parkside Auto, we respect how valuable your time is. Many sellers spend hours researching market values and pricing comparisons before ever speaking with a buyer. Our complimentary appraisal process is designed to be quick, clear, and straightforward. If you choose to move forward, you can leave with cash or trade-in credit the same day.
Put Your Value Toward Your Next Vehicle. Selling your vehicle to us allows you to apply its value toward your next purchase. This can reduce the amount you finance and may help lower your monthly payment.

What is the best place to sell my car?
Parkside Auto is committed to making the appraisal process simple and transparent. When you sell your vehicle to us, you can choose to accept payment right away or take time to consider your offer. All appraisals remain valid for 7 days or up to 500 additional miles.**
How is my vehicle’s value determined?
Several factors go into your vehicle’s value, including age, mileage, and overall condition. Parkside Auto is part of Knoxville Motor Company, a locally owned business operated by Furrow Automotive with deep roots in the community. Our offers are based on real-time market data and fair valuation practices. While online tools can provide a ballpark estimate, we recommend an in-person appraisal for the most accurate offer.
What’s required to sell my vehicle?
Selling your vehicle to us is far easier than handling a private sale. Start by completing our “Instant Trade Value” form with a few basic details. From there, our Appraisal Team will guide you through the remaining steps and work to complete the process quickly and smoothly.
How does selling to your dealership compare to a private sale?
At Parkside Auto’s Vehicle Buying Center, we provide a straightforward appraisal and make competitive offers based on current market conditions. We may even offer up to $500 more than a written offer from another buyer.* Selling privately often requires advertising, meeting with buyers, and managing paperwork—all with added uncertainty. Working with an established dealership removes much of that hassle.
Can I sell my vehicle if I don’t have the title?
A vehicle title serves as legal proof of ownership. In most situations, a title is required to complete the sale of a vehicle. If you’re unable to locate your title or need help obtaining a replacement, please contact us and our team will be happy to assist.
*Subject to terms and conditions. To qualify for up to $500 over your best offer, customer must allow Parkside Auto to perform an in-person inspection of the vehicle to verify its condition and mileage. Offer only valid upon dealer validation of competitor’s offer. Offers may vary based on whether the vehicle is being sold outright or traded in for the purchase of another vehicle. The final offer will be determined based on inspection results and competitor offer verification. Offer cannot be combined with any other promotions or discounts. Dealer reserves the right to terminate this offer at any time without notice. Additional restrictions may apply. Please see dealership for details.
**Any offer you receive prior to an in-person dealer inspection is considered “sight-unseen” and is subject to change upon dealer inspection. If the info you provide about the vehicle differs from the dealer inspection, the offer amount may increase or decrease.
