Tint is around $125wholesale (what the yard pay) depending on their provider... Motor one is expensive and can be upto $250 wholesale....We sold $145 tint for $495 retailAlso.... Only the dp in dealerships can usually see the margins as they don't usually tell staff coz then they know how cheap they can sel the car for and are more likely to give people more discount... Whereas when they don't know they simply ask for more money coz they don't know how low they can go...That's why a dp or manager signs off on every deal... That figure would have been a bullsh*t figure...Also new cars and used are very different ....Eg... ForD will give more $ for demo vehicles to bigger dealerships... (1 bonus per demo vehicle)If theyre smart they can use 1 of the demo bonuses to give someone more discount... Where was smaller dealerships use it for genuine test drive cars ( demo vehicles) coz they will sell those for less and need to make a profit stil.

Do they get a base salary or is it just commission based. And what do you get per sale per car as a bonus, I have always wondered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So they work off what they are going to get paid on, not what the dealership is earning. You'd be surprised at how many deals go through with minimal margin.

Only ones on run out or demo...Like of ford have a $33990 sale on xr6 they might give the dealership an extra 1k or 3k depending on the price and what the dealership pay.A dealership has a line of credit... They buy say 30 yard cars ... Eg... Xr6 usually costs a dealership 32k to buy and they sell them for $36990....So the car yard has say a 2 million dollar budget that they borrow from say st George at a low interest rate (hence why they get kick backs if they sells finance because they don't get charged intrest on the $33k they borrowed to buy that car from ford)If ford have a run out for 33990 on xr6 they will give the dealership say 3k for every car they sell on run out to make up for the fact they have to sell at the advertised price....Hence why sales people dot get these figures coz there might be 4 bonuses on that model car at the time for different reasons and the manager or dp works out the math...Eg. Dealer paid $32000for carRun out bonus of $3000Extra bonus for all cars sold with leather upholstery sold $500So car cost them all up after minuting bonuses $28950But mr jones doesn't wanna pay the run out price of $33990 and haggle down to $32990Car made about 3k.... Minus 10 or 15% commission ( goes on a sliding scale depending how much profit in car)Minus intrest they paid for havin the car on the yard for 2 monthsMinus over heads...That's why they will always try and sell u what's in stock!If there are no bonuses or rebates ford give on a vehicle at the time then dp just works on what they paid for car...That's why it's so hard to see if your getting a good deal ... It all depends on weather ford are giving kick backs on that model or other things at the time... But the consumer won't know about those Edited 01/06/12 07:07 AM by Fluffinator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
