What Is The Average Salary For A Car Salesman?

I have worked in the automotive industry for over 9 years now. The best way to improve your income in to stay with one brand or dealership if possible. My best year so far was 2009. I sold just over 165 cars and was paid just over $75,000 in total compensation. This year I am shooting for 240 cars and hope to make $100,000 in total compensation. I know that this is attainable in 2010 or 2011.

The secret is to grow your client base and business. The mistake most salespeople make is focusing on the monthly income. They work on a 30 day cycle and don't look at the big picture.....

Focus on long term growth, referrals, and keeping in touch with your prospects, customers and friends.....

You will achieve

I ve been in the business for 3 years and average about 40k-45k yearly... It is said that after your 3rd year you will start to generate a somewhat steady stream of repeat business and wont have to rely on fresh lot ups to sell all your cars. 

My husband is a sales manager at a Nissan Dealership.  He made 68k in 2009 working average salesmen hours.  His best guy made 88k in 2009 and his other 3 guys made between 40k - 50k in a down economy.   The two who made less than 30k got laid off or quit.  It's not for everyone.  As a car salesman's wife... I would encourage you, if you have a wife, to make sure that she understand the kind of hours you will be putting in.  This kind of work is not for all families.  Best of luck.

For those who say..."It's a tough racket" a la the famous speech from Glen Gary Glen Ross..."Coffee is for closers!!!" There are a bunch of unmotivated losers in the business who will try do drag everyone down to their loser level but it's those who maintain a clear frame of mind and an understanding that people walking through the door are BUYERS and prospect outside of the building, and who are self-starters, who will live like kings in one of the best industries in the world. ITS NOT FOR EVERYONE...but it is for me and it's provided everything that I have ever wanted in my life.

I have been in the business for 4 years now. I work at a high volume used car dealership. We sell on average 350 to 400 cars a month. Last year I made 85,000 while averaging about 28 cars a month. This year I am on pace for 100,000. Great income in this economy.

I work at a Chevy Nissan dealer in the northeast. I have been in the service department as an advisor for 9 yrs. I'm making the move to sales because of hours. 

I have been in the car business 8 years with Toyota 4 years in sales, the most I have ever seen anyone make was about 130k in a year. He averaged 20-25 cars per month working bell to bell almost every day. I averaged 15 cars per month and did pretty well, but those days are long gone thanks to the internet and our current economy.

I'm the General Sales manager of a Ford dealer in Connecticut, My pay is $67,000 per year, and if I hit my numbers I will make more. I'm happy to be where I'm at, but I think I'm underpaid for what I do. The hours and what I am responsible for would make anyone crazy.

Well, I have been selling cars for a little under five years now. I'm 22 and work at a Dodge Chrysler Jeep store in NJ. 

I work at a big dealership in Charlotte and sell Hyundai. I average 22 cars a month with 10 other salesmen 250 cars month out of them. I make an average of 6k a year and I'm 20 years old - more money then I ever made.

I was 19 my first year in the business (2012) and I sold over 200 Kia's & Nissan's and made over $100,000 I was not an average salesman though.

Here's one way to sell more at your slow dealership.. Get the service list for the next day from service.. Call those people act like you don't know there coming in the next day. 

Tell them you want to buy there car.  Say nothing about trading. Tell them you don't care if they trade you just want to buy it.. ThTs the key. You have a buyer for there car and that makes it worth way more. Tell them you are cutting checks for used inventory. 

Ask them if they will be in the area anytime soon. They will say actually I have an oil change tomorrow at 3. You say oh no kidding would you mind if I take a look at car while you are here.. 

And as easy as they you have an appt. Appts are key to this business.. When they get there. Get there registration at you desk.. Tell them you are going to take a look at there car. After you look at ask them , what would you replace you car with.  They will say "what is my car worth"... My manager is making the call right now.. If they spill there guts then you have a sale.. Iisten to them.. 

If they talk about a similar car to there's or whatever they say.. Say hold on one second... Go outside ask your manager what used car has the biggest gross... Or. Go new if you need the rebates..  Pull the car right up front.. 

Go inside and say it's your lucky day I have the perfect car.. Turn away from them and say follow me and head out the door..be confident and you will have control from here on in the sale.. If they follow you got a sale

July 9, 2014 - I am new to the business. I am working at a local Keyes Dealership in Ca. I have a great personality and strong work ethic, as well as knowledge about the cars. Hopefully I can post here again in a few months and let everyone know how great I am doing.

Internet research shows the average car sales person makes between $60k to $100k per year provided he/she works full time and sells between 200 and 1000 cars per year.

This is a heavily weighted position towards commissions. Like in many sales positions, turnover may be high with many salespersons not achieving such results. It also depends upon the situation. For example, if a Hollywood Mercedes dealership only has 5 salespeople, those salespeople may make more than those working at a used car lot in rural South Dakota.
