you get an hourly minimum wage check but you have to pay it back by the end of the month
so everything after 1500$ of commission goes into your bank account on the first of the next month

Do other salesmen try to fuck you for sales?
>>676275529
yeah they give you like 300 bucks a week just to say they are paying you but if you are only making 1500$ a month a dealership is gonna kick you to the curve asap
>>676274680
How much do you make?
>>676275851

So Toyota was just a business decision then. You're weren't passionate about the company or anything, right?

Local Toyota dealer split into two separate dealers: car and truck. Opposite sides of the same location. First was annoying as fuck to get told to go somewhere else, but the parts guys on the truck side are cool as fuck.

>>676276012
yeah pretty much it can get random if you are relying on fresh faces to walk in
either you build your own customer base or be at the mercy of the sales traffic. divide that by however many people are in your lott/dealerships in the area and you can go from the man to broke asap
>>676274680
How often do you get a hardline negotiator in who is not swayed by your promises of a years worth of oil changes?

yeah im only 22 definitely dont plan on doing this forever im just gonna save mad cash till im about 30 and try and get a self sustaining business going
honestly man a car is a car is a car you can make any car last with proper maintenance just find a car you like on the internet and go buy it
>>676276337
How do you build a customer base selling cars?...
>>676276569
every single day people hate the fact that we make profit and try to drill us like its some mental game ....honestly you only will ever get a couple hundred bucks out of it
>>676276843
be a good salesman put on the fake face and be as nice as possible then ask that person if they know anyone else that needs a car after the sale ....and so on ....and so on
>>676277107

I have a 2005 mini that's acting up (probably just needs tranny fluid but it's a sealed system and I have no where to work on it) and I want to trade it in. What are some ways I can make sure my car gets the best possible trade in value?
>>676274680
Offered $2000 less on a brand new Tacoma TRD, without even negotiating, the salesman kicked me out.
Fucker wanted to sell a new tacoma at sticker price. If there are people buying cars at sticker price, then I am truly in the wrong god damn fucking profession.

>>676278009
sticker on my F150 was $55,935 and I paid $38,900. sounds like you're at the wrong dealer.
How important is it to trade in your car? Do they go through a full inspection to process a trade in?
>>676278220
I drive about 15 hours a day 7 days a week on average man. Its not that great dealing with drunks and niggers all day every day, but I have nothing else going for me.
>>676278009
...forgot to ask...did I fucking insult this dude? I even had a 2011 tacoma for trade that the dealership would've bought off me for 18k.
Why are you guys such fucking jew bags?
>>676277885
Fix it and detail it. Make it look and function like new or as close to it. Even going through a car wash will raise the value. What they're really looking for is pride of ownership. My guess is you don't really have that, though...
>>676277885
if a dealership takes your car in for trade they cant give you full price for it because that means we would have to over charge someone else for it so selling your car privately and then using that money for a down payment is ALWAYS the best way to go when buying a car

Question for Sales Anon,
>>676274680
Thinking about getting a lease on the new Honda accord since they are doing the 0,0,0,0 bullshit lease sale thing. Basically sounds like all u pay is Tax, title, lisence. and then the Monthly 250$ payment.
This a good idea or no?> basically i need a fuel efficient car instead of driving a big diesel bro truck everywhere.
>>676276309
im assuming thats your dealership because its just one big cluster fuck here
>>676278517
>Fix it
obviously
>and detail it
no. dealerships have detailers. they don't give a fuck if you trade it in filthy as fuck because they have some underpaid sucker ready and waiting to coat everything with vinyl dressing and make it feel greasy and disgusting.
but for real nobody is going to give you more money because you ran your car through a wash. overall condition is what matters. but ultimately they're going to look and see what vehicles similar to yours are selling for at private auctions.
As a buyer, what is the best way to approach a sales person/ phrases/ tactics to get the best possible deal on a buy/ lease?
>>676278517
>My guess is you don't really have that, though...
Wow, way to be judgmental as fuck. No, I'm in the military and with classes, the field, JRTC, I have almost NO time to work on it myself. Let alone have to drive 110 miles to the closest dealer that said they could.
>>676278849
Anon, how did you get your software engineering job? I'm trying to get one at 18 and I'm trying to finagle one or at least an internship at a tech company. Advice?
>>676278973
yeah its not as bad as you think if it fits your budget it fits your budget plus when you get tired of it in a few years like everyone does with there cars you can get a different lease and vehicle
>>676278973
not OP here but will chime in anyway. leasing isn't as bad as everyone makes it out to be, because you're always driving someone else's shit that you don't have to care for and it's always under warranty. biggest con is that you can't really modify it unless you want to put it back to stock. and if you put on too many miles you can get fucked with big penalties.

SERIOUS QUESTION HERE:
_____________________________
if i came to you guys asking you to FIND me a used vehicle, and that id finance at (practically) any rate you wanted, would you find the car and do so?
>>676279269
buying a car is like curing a cold. everyone and there grandmother has there own way of doing it to get "the best deal" when the truth is every dealership in america makes the same on the cars. just find out what monthly payment/lease you wanna be at and what car you can afford
every 5000$ the car is worth you will pay 100$ a month on a regular 60 month program
and then go buy a car(also use the internet to make sure you arent over paying they will try to get you at least onece) its not as bad as everyone thinks it just takes forver because paperwork
also you arent gonna use some mental ninja trick to pay half the sticker price we barely make money on new cars anyway

I graduated from from a 4 year university with my BS in CS and mathematics
Honestly, if you don't have your degree and you also have no experience, it's going to be very hard to get an internship. At the level you are at (entry level), you're going to be competing against people with 2-3 years at a university. Never mind that after that, if you want to work for a top tier "name brand" company (think Google, Facebook, etc.), the people you are competing against have written tons of open source software, have lots of repos on GH that people are using every day and have millions of downloads.
Basically
