First cars for teens near Knoxville, TN

24 cars near Knoxville, TN picked for “a safe, reliable first car for a teenager”, each shown as it is listed now.

How this list was made

This list was made . At that time 871 cars near Knoxville qualified: the dealership had been read in the 14 days before, and the car met any limit the need states, such as a price.

CarChat scored each one from 0 to 1 on how well its listing fits “a safe, reliable first car for a teenager”, and 23 scored 0.8 or more. The 24 highest scores were kept.

A score reads the words of a listing: year, make, model, trim, body style and, where the need mentions them, colour, miles and price. It is not a test of the car.

That is the newest read among the cars below. 14 of the 24 carry a price checked in the last 48 hours, from $9,795 to $35,795. Every other price is a last price, printed with its date.

Order

  1. The highest score comes first; where scores tie, the lower price.
  2. The list is then arranged so that different models lead it: up to six different models come first.
  3. A dealership's payment to CarChat does not change a score or a place on this list, so no row carries the Sponsored tag.
