Any of you ever been (or still are) in car sales?
Thinking hard about making a career jump. Just absolutely burnt the fk out where I’m at now.
Friend of mine is averaging $8k-$10k a month at a local Toyota dealer. He says the only downside is 12 hour days and working Saturdays.
Don’t really want to give up Saturdays with my family, but for $100k+ a year, it’s tempting.
Wondering if there’s any other downsides. Seems like there has to be more, otherwise why the fk isn’t everyone trying to get into that business? Seems too good to be true.
Only other downside I can see is when people aren’t buying, you’re not making **** for money since his base salary is only $750 a week. The rest is commission.

It's a tough job, very stressful and can be very difficult to make a sale. As Greenleaf mentioned, the turnover is very high. It's also a bad time to get into it, imo. You might have luck doing it part time or on the side, but full time could be a big gamble. Whatever you do, don't work for a CarMax, they pay chit, and you'll mostly get appraisals and people who have champagne taste but beer budgets.
