I start selling Toyota's on monday!

[gabemcg]

Avg earnings $50,000 before taxes

Benifits: Blue Cross/Blue Shield medical, dental and vision available.

401k w/ 12% match.

Profit sharing,

Employee & Family Pricing on:

Toyota, Scion, Lexus, and Subaru (because the same family that owns the Toyota dealership owns a Subaru one... STI here I come!)

Selling new Toyota's and Scions primarily, but can sell used if thats what the customer wants...

And this is officially the first job I've had where I GET MY OWN DESK!!!! this may not seem big to some of you, but I've never had one (other than when I owned my own video production company in High School, but that doesn't count)


I'm selling for Dunning Toyota/Scion in Ann Arbor, MI. So if anyone is thinking about a new car, PM me or something...

I love that average earnings comment that gets car dealers all excited. Heh.. 50% made below 50K.

And good luck, although I despise car dealers.

it's not the median, it's the average. I would guess a lot more than 50% made less than that.

and yes, prepare to be hated. No one likes car salesmen

Don't expect to make 50k your first year.

If you truly were you would not have to pursue a career in car sales.

 

[aircooled]

It's a high turn-around job. you may be selling Nissan's in 6 months....

 

[Cuda1447]

Ive always been curious as to how a job like that compares to a normal retail job. Anyone actually have any experience in that field?

 

[Freejack2]

Word of advice, if they have a lease prophet/marketscan system (the one with the big thumbprint on the screen) or something similar and they'll let salesmen do their own scans...Learn it if you want to get even close to 50k a year.
Either way Toyotas practically sell themselves. The trick is to convince them to buy it from you and not the dealership up the street, people will travel as much as 100 miles to get a deal.

conjur was normal. then conjur sold cars. now he nefs incessantly. watch out, you could be next.

 

[rh71]

but do you do 50-60 hrs of work, don't you just sit on your ass when no one is in the showroom.

I would hate to swindle a poor family that has little knowledge of credit or financing into buying a new car they can't afford. Yes, they should do their homework, but the dealer will always tell you to sell the dealer's financing package as opposed to a seperate bank, and tell them how easy it will be once they spead the payments out for about twenty years and put their balls in a vice. They will walk out happy, and you will have your sale (and the guys balls), but you will know you basically screwed their financial standing.

BTW, read this: Edmund's Confessions of a Car Salesman

I already nef incessantly, I wonder where that will take me???

car salesman...my 1st hate on retail sellers

 

[EvilYoda]

LOL, no way...I'm going to have to swing by one day and let you give me an IS350 to test drive.

 

[austin316]

You missed the old days where the euro brand guys were pulling in 100+k a year selling bmws and MBs. Now with regular cars selling for invoice or below, the dealers profit isn't even that high. Nowadays you get base salary/benefits and $100 flat per car approx. And its long hours, very long hours. 50k is doable, but remember you probably working 50-60 hrs a week making that.



*note anyone wanting to buy a land rover/volvo or jag, pm for referral link. Only a few left.

That's not long hours. Wuss.

The car market is in a slump. Companies are really desprate buy offering employee pricing to consumers. Ever since GM started the employee pricing, their sales picked up and now everyone is on the bandwagon. Long gone are the days where dealerships made a couple of thousand on a car deal.
