What should you do with that money now? Technically, it is money that has belonged to you this whole time (it is a refund, after all, not a bonus), but chances are you did not include this in your budget, so it certainly feels like a bonus. Now may be a good time to make a purchase that has been on your mind for a while. How about a car? Read on for a list of a few reasons to spend your tax return on a used car.

What was the cost of living in 1986?

Has it really been that long? 1986 never looked like a terribly long time ago, but now it has been thirty years since those digits graced our calendars, and in today’s fast-paced world, it feels like many lifetimes ago. 1986 also happens to be when Gil’s Auto Sales started selling cars, and we have been happy to serve the communities that have welcomed our six locations: Phenix City, AL; Columbus, GA; and Opelika, AL.
