i think it all depends on who you work for and how your pay is structured.
i.e basic pay and then commision
or just commision or just a sallary and a small commsion on sales.

Do you reckon a min of £20k with scope to earn more if you sell loads?
If not, I'll forget the idea..

Was looking in the local paper yesterday and there was vacancies in the local Vauxhall dealership and Fiat/Alpha Romeo dealership. Just wanted a rough idea of earnings before I bothered sending off a CV.

I reckon the people in the prestigious brands get paid pretty well round here. You probably need to work for the company for quite a while though before you get decent pay... No harm in trying though

In training, youre not gonna be on that much. I'd say you'd prob be on about 12-15k basic, then anything from £30-£100 a car. So many factors depending etc.
Some places work on a commission basis of you earn commission as a percentage of the profit made in the car, others have fixed commissions per car.
Its clever the way in which its all worded, and things are done in a particular way, varying for different customers. Some you can be really pushy with and get away with more or less forcing them into buying the car. That way, you do get quite a kick from selling the car, knowing youve sold to someone, who didnt really have the intention of parting with cash.
Other ones i like, working predominantly on used, is when someone comes in looking for, say, a Vauxhall Tigra, and you end up convincing them to buy your Ford Puma, cos you dont have a Tigra on there. (thats an actual example of one i done recently).
Patrick, add me to MSN if ya want to chat more bout it.
