LOL last Bu I sold was $325 commission bucks sold at sticker...so 5-15% dont cut it in this business. you are getting by and thats it, unless you do homerun grosses on all you 4-7 deals a month.

In new home sales you don't get paid 3-7% - it is more than car sales most times, however it's not as much as re-sales (pre-owned homes). I thought about going into car sales because I like cars a lot (incase it wasn't obvious), however the auto market is a tough market and it does not pay as much as Real Estate (my 2nd interest). However, realtors pay a huge amount of fees (office fees, board fees, MLS fees, GST) plus advertising, websites etc. so it's not really much better. Still, it's what I like to do and as long as I make enough money to be financially secure I'm happy. I'm sure you have similar reasons why you are in the car business.
