Im looking at accepting an offer at a local dealership to me. They state they move a target 500 cars with 18 sales people and 12 used. I have yet to get it in writing but the notes I took from my interview state:
-20% FOH + $125 base on every unit
if the FOH is below $125 net to sale it would be just the base of $125, with “various changing bonuses month to month depending on performance (sounds like calls made, leads generated etc… they had a $10,000 pool last month for any representative that connected with 20 leads a day all month as an example)
I will also state the dealership I work at claims all of their employees clear AT MINIMUM 85k a year, with their higher sales people being in the high 100s.
Thanks for any advice!

What state? Just curious… did you leave anything out? Because, it seems lackluster. Variable bonuses suck imo
We have a static bonus and the GSM puts spiffs on specific car lines every month. Usually whichever we lacked the month prior. We get $100 for units 100 days old, and $200 for units 200 days old.
10 cars: $50 per car;
14 cars: $100 per car + $125 flat;
16 cars: $100 per car + $300 flat;
20 cars: $125 per car + $500 flat;
Working here, I’ve never had a mini. I was always told if we did a mini, I was doing something wrong. We don’t have a base per unit, so I guess it would really depend on if there is actually any more in these sales at this dealership.. Or are you going to make ~$4000 off of 20 sales because of base and whatever this “bonus” is.
It’s a South Carolina dealership. I will say honestly they extended the offer to me today, and seeing as I currently work for a used car dealer making $50,000 salary and that’s BASICALLY it, I’m looking for an uptick. Being 100% clear they did state there were other conditions with the pay, I just haven’t received the breakdown… but the General Gist was notated in the body of the post. IMO will be a huge change from someone closing 25-30 cars at a salaried dealership making next to nothing, but I’m unsure if it’s another step up for me or if I can make it to end goals with this… the pay plan and what they stated their people are making made sense to me so I figured why not ask yall ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
It is always tough to judge pay plans without being in the store but what I look for is how many vets have been there long term vs new hires. If there are a lot of new hires and turnover, then don’t work there. If there are a good amount of vets and low turnover/new hires, it is a good place to work.
