We get alot of amp/subs and stuff like that. I tell them i am giving them more for it when they trade but i'm not...then i hook up the detail guys and mechanics so they take care of me later.
Nobody notices since most trades go to wholesalers.

i don't tell the managers crap! they don't see anything so we don't tell them anything. All of my managers are salespeople who's ass i used to kick on the salesfloor. I have no interest in manager....i don't want a pay cut

Now my GSM is the man...i changed dealerships when he left because he is so good to work for. If he saw a trade with a booming system he would want his cut

How much can you make doing car sales if your good at it? I wouldn't mind doing it on the side as a part time job. I work four 10 hour days so I have three days off.

I've been doing it about 4 years now. Its easy money but you have to have a good management team with good bonus plan in place to make money. My first year i made 50k....i worked hard getting myself out there and making my customers happy. Now i get lots of business from my other customers because i treated them well. 2nd year i made 90k and have not gone under that. You have good weeks and bad weeks. It all depends where you work etc. I started with a Dodge dealer who specialzed in bad credit etc but i sold 20 neons a month...most were not for alot of profit but with the unit bonus i made out. Used cars is where you make your bill money...if a car is traded in at a low price then the profit margin is much higher. Say you trade in a 04GT and the dealer gives them 12,000...now i sell it for 18,000 thats a 6,000 dollar deal for the company and i will get 1/3 of that 6k. Do a few nice used cars a month and dealing with the idiots buying new cars isn't so bad.
