$299 Down Payment program at Gil’s Auto Sales

It’s time to get a new car. Well, a new to you car, that is. You’ve had your old jalopy for long enough, and you’re eager to upgrade to a newer model.

Don’t dealerships require a couple thousand dollars as a down payment when you buy a new car? Maybe some, but not all. Certainly not here at Gil’s Auto Sales. We have a way for you to get behind the wheel of a vehicle today without draining your account. It’s the $299 Down Payment program at Gil’s Auto Sales. Read the rest of this entry >>
