How much do exotic car sales men make a year ferrari/maserati dealership?

how much do car sales men at ferrari/maserati dealerships make yearly best guess thanks! im thinking about that as a carrer only if it pays in the 100,000...500,000|||Not as much as you'd think. Exotic car sales is a low volume business. I would wager than someone who does well selling cars at a Nissan or Honda or Ford or Toyota dealership would make more. When I sold cars, the top salesmen at the Ford place I worked at was make around 250k a year, he had such a huge return customer base, that his customers actually had to make appointments with him so he could sell them a car. That's very, very rare to see the car sales business. However even if you're an average salesman and sell 10-12 cars a month, you can still make a comfortable living. I know a guy who sells Porsches for a living, he might move 5 cars a month. And he makes around $75k a year. It should be mentioned that selling cars means long hours. Start thinking 60+ hour work weeks. When I sold Nissans you worked 6 days a week 9 A.M. to 9:00 PM (11 :00 PM on weekends) You got one day a week off for two weeks out of the month and and every other Wednesday/Thursday off depending on your assigned schedule. When I was with Ford it was 9:00 AM-9:00 PM Mon-Sat for everyone, the dealership was closed Sunday. I quite because I could make similar money (guaranteed money at that) working in IT and only have a normal 40 hour work week.





Just because you're selling high end cars, it doesn't mean you're going to be making much money at it. Furthermore, the owners of these exotic car dealerships only have maybe two or three salespeople working for them, the sales volume is so low, it wouldn't make sense to have any more than that. The salespeople in such dealerships are usually family or family friends of the owner of the dealership. It's very difficult to get hired if you don't already know somebody who works for the dealership.





The big money for exotic cars is in the service dept. Ferrari techs are very rare and command high wages. A factory trained Ferrari tech will easily make 150k-200k a year.
