What is the average commission made on car sales?

Answer 1

The average commission made depends entirely on the type and make of vehicle you are selling. That being said, you can expect to earn about $150-$250 per car sale....so you can figure around $200 is the average. Most dealerships will also provide bonuses and extra cash to motivate their sales staff to sell more cars. A typical experienced automotive salesperson earns around $45K-$65K a year. Of course, there are some earning as low as $20K a year and others (top performers) earning as much as $125K a year. But rergardless of how much they make, they all work 50-75 hours per week! I hope this information helps.
