On average, how much do you think a car salesman would make a year? Lets say, a Ford car salemans for argument sake. I know it would depend on how good they are, but go ahead and throw out estimates for a poor, average and good salesman.

poor? hes gonna make 2 or 3 sales a month, barely make more than base (which is gonna be close to minimum wage) and get fired soon

average? 2 or 3 sales a week, maybe 50K a year

good? 4 or 5 sales a week, maybe 75K a year

that'd be at a none luxo dealership.

if you go to a car dealer the manager will usually have, somewhere near him, a leaderboard for the month that you can peek at if you're in there.
 

Depends how good you can sell.
~75-100 for a good salesman with all the low apr's and spiffs.

If your morals are low enough, you can make a lot of money as a car salesman. A lot depends on where you work.

Look up, "Mr. Used Car Salesman" on Kazaa. I didn't say download it, I just said look it up.:eek:

IT depends also on where the lot is. IF it is a new or used car lot. A good salesman at a used car lot can make a lot of money each monty (2-5k easy). But the hours are long and everyone has a negitive view of salseman the mojority i know are not liers or thiefs they are honest hardworking people (my father owns a car dealership and i have worked there myself).
