List of documents and information to bring with your trade-in vehicle 

 

There are a few documents that you will need to bring in when you trade in your vehicle in Tennessee. There are several more documents that are not required, but that we highly recommend bringing them if you have them handy. More documentation can help speed up the process. 

  • Certificate of Title/Vehicle Title: This is a required document.  
  • Odometer Disclosure Statement/Odometer Reading: This is required in some situations. It is also called Form RV-F1317001 and is found on tn.gov. 
  • Vehicle History Report: If you do not have this, try to at least have the sale price of the vehicle and any applicable information about your vehicle. 
  • Maintenance Records: This may be part of your Vehicle History Report. This helps us know that the vehicle has been taken care of. 
  • Warranty Documents: If your vehicle is still covered by a warranty, please let us know. 
  • VIN (Vehicle Identification Number): We will need the VIN of your vehicle. That being said, the VIN is usually located on the vehicle. 
  • Bill of Sale: This document should have your name, the date of sale, and the sales price.
