Get a New Car With Just $299 Down at Gil’s Auto Sales

How Much Money Do You Need for Car Down Payment?

One of the biggest hurdles that there is to jump when it comes time to buy a new vehicle is the down payment, and that is simply because not everyone just has thousands of dollars sitting around waiting to be spent. That is something that we’ve grown to understand over our many years in business, and it’s one thing that we’ve set out to change. To give you a good idea of how much money you need for a car down payment, let’s look at the standard down payment and what you need to buy at a Gil’s Auto Sales location.

For the most part, the required down payment is different at every dealership. Most dealerships work with different lenders that have different requirements, and the money that you need can depend on other factors as well, such as your credit score. For the most part, on a new car, a down payment of 20 percent is the recommendation. For a used car, which is all that we sell at our six locations, the suggested down payment is cut in half. Most dealerships accept no less than 10 percent on a used vehicle. Not us.

Here at Gil’s Auto Sales, we realize that a 10-percent down payment on a $10,000-dollar car is still $1,000, which is not exactly feasible for all budgets. For that reason, we have set a minimum down payment that can be applied to all of our used cars—regardless of price. At any of our locations, you can drive off of the lot with a $299 down payment. If you’re on a budget, it may still be hard to get the funds together, but we can assure you that getting together $299 is easier than trying to save up three times that amount.

One of the biggest benefits of this deal is that you get that $299 minimum down payment no matter what your financial history looks like. We don’t mind if your credit score is low, or if you have no credit left. We are one of the few dealerships in the Columbus area that are here to help you in times of need. So if you are concerned about getting approved, you can leave those worries at our showroom door. We can help.
