The Pay

Have you heard the old story about the kid who asked a farmer for a job? The farmer said "sure" and then the kid asked how much he would get paid. With that the farmer said "I'll pay you exactly what your worth". The kid thought about it for a while and said "I won't work for that!"

Most dealerships will help you get started with a training salary. For the first month or two a salary is available while you get your feet under you. After that you will go on commission on a per car basis. The more you sell the more you will make. Some people prefer the security of a steady check and that’s okay, this career isn’t for everyone.
