Rags2Bitches Posted March 13, 2009 Report Share Posted March 13, 2009 just scored a job as a used car salesman at one of the top 10 used car lots in the state, was wondering how many cars you other salesmen are putting out.....

Rags2Bitches Posted March 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2009 I hope the used car market is better than the new car market. Honestly, good luck man. Jobs are hard to come by these days. preachin to the choir man....I sent my resume to over 120 places before I got this one....from what I've been told by other dealers, the used car biz isn't doing as bad as the new car biz, just strictly because they're cheaper. They gave me some other reason too but I can't remember it now. They told me their average salesman pushes 8 cars a month, if I can push 6 or 7 a month 3 months from now I'll be happy. I've been living on under $10K a year for the past 4 years, so anything about that would be great. Quote www.mypsace.com/ineedagirl2006 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Building Posted March 14, 2009 Report Share Posted March 14, 2009 I have sold 18 used cars below $5000 since January in Columbia, South Carolina. This is what the local market supports, but things don't look very plum out here for car sales. Good luck out your way though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our lot is full of $9000-$18000 cars and we also sell new Pontiacs and Acuras. Quote www.mypsace.com/ineedagirl2006 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not too bad. Our new car sales are WAAAAY down, but used cars (where I am) is apparently just as good as it was a year ago. It's down a little bit, but hasn't gotten any lower. Plus it's tax rebate season, so business should be up at least for the next couple months. Quote www.mypsace.com/ineedagirl2006 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rags2Bitches Posted March 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2009 how do you get paid? i always guessed by how many cars you sell but do you get a percentage of it or what? every dealer is different. We have it setup that you get 25% commision. Meaning, say there's a 07 Nissan Altima on the lot with a sticker on it of $16000. You talk us down to $14000. Most people feel like they got a good deal then, which they did, but we paid $12000 for it at our dealer auction. So we made $2000 off of you. Of that $2000, I get $500. We also get an under the table check once a month for $100 for every car we sold that month, so if I sold 8 cars, I get a check for $800. ALSO have a weekly competition, whoever pushes the most cars gets $500, 2nd place gets $350, 3rd place gets $150. There's 8 salesmen total at our dealership. So if you're doing good, you're doing $$$GOOD$$$. lol Quote www.mypsace.com/ineedagirl2006 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
