The answer to your question is relative and the factors that affect are:
1. What City, State, and Country the salesperson is working
In Bangladesh, a car salesperson makes $6,000/year, while a car salesperson in Manhattan makes $150,000/year
2. What kind of car he is selling, i.e. used, new, slightly-used
A car salesperson in Kazakstan selling used car makes $2,000/year while a car salesperson in Beverly Hills selling Ferraris, Bentleys & Rolls Royce cars earn $1.2 million/year
Cheers!

A few do very well and can make close to 6 figures. Most, though, work long hours for low pay. There was a very good article in Business Week that you should read. See below:

Starting out $1500 to $2500 per month with a good store. Experienced sales people can make $100,000 plus.
Get experience at a good mainstream dealership. Toyota, Chevy, Honda, Ford. Find out if you are better at new or used vehicles.
If you are a good used car salesman you can make a lot of money just about anywhere.
If you like selling new, I would try to get with a high end brand: Mercedes, BMW, Lexus, Cadillac.
