So at each dealership there is one sales guy that is going to be making good money. This is the guy that is given all deals that come through management in order to keep the rest of the floor guys drooling. I believe in the prostitution world this is the 'bottom bitch'.
From what I understood from the older guys, it used to a be a solid middle class gig with a free car, good hours, benefits, other perks, etc..but most new car dealerships are now consolidated countrywide conglomerates and the sales jobs are typical shitty retail with no time off and constant turnover.
Management and the finance guys still make good money but they work even more hours and you have to sit on a damn car lot 24/7.
To tell the truth, I lost all interest in cars after working on a lot. I drove high end bmw's, a ferrari (older), hummers, etc and now I give 0 shits about what I drive as long as it gets me around.
- pc86 11y agoI come from a lower-middle/working class family and have always wanted a BMW. Everyone has said it's a waste of money, and intellectually I agree 100%. And I know with 90% certainty that when I eventually buy one at some point I'll think "Oh, that's it?" and get rid of it for another Toyota or VW. But until then I will probably continue building BMWs, Benzes and Porsches online every few months :)
- totalrobe 11y agoDon't get me wrong - driving a powerful car is a hell a lot of fun. But to me it was a novelty, and IMO you can get your fill and save a pile of cash by going to a track and renting a supercar for a day.
- crapolasplatter 11y agototally agree on renting the supercar and using the money saved to purchase nth home.
