Depends on a car, make and model but usually about seven to 30 percent commision on top of their monthly salaries.

Answer 2

A used car salesman is far more honest on average than any religious, scientific or philosophical claim. I treat all of the above with more wary skepticism than any used car salesman. Religious claims are often faked for monetary gain, prestige, etc, and many 'religious' people are classical Biblical Pharisees; they wear their religion so openly that one can only say 'they already have their reward.' Science is a reductive art only, yet constant claims that 'science proves' or 'scientists tell us' are usually motivated by exactly the same things as most religious claims: money, power, pride, prestige etc. Despite the claims to exclusivity science is so frequently wrong that it's record, in social terms, is actually a bit worse than pretty much all religions, and far worse than some. Philosophy goes down the same path. From Plato's assertion that only philosophers live a worthwhile life to the present-day socialists and environmentalists (or are they the same?) who are willing to liquidate countless millions (in the case of environmentalists, billions) of people who don't live up to their standards. When they say the sun comes up in the east I check north, south and west just to be sure. There are a very few things that I am absolutely convinced are true, such as the existence of God and the primacy of free will in the universe. All other claims are measured against those few things that I hold to be true; every religous, scientific and philsophical claim is measured especially against freedom, since by far the most common of all deceits in human history is the myth that freedom doesn't exist. Practically all religions, political movements, philsophies, and especially scientific materialism, do their best to convince human being that they aren't free, and they succeed all too often. Once a man or woman is convinced there is no choice, the choice vanishes, and soon we'll have rapists claiming they have no choice because evolutionary psychology 'proves' that rape is an inherent genetic trait in human males. And they'll be right, because they bought the claim and reaped the consequences. I rather doubt that you treat all the different evolutionary theories and derivative philsophies such as atheism with any sort of skepticism at all, and are glad to trade your free will for whatever it is that you want to do that theism would forbid you, whether (as is most common) sexual promiscuity or dishonoring your parents. Whatever it is that you don't want anybody to tell you is wrong is really something YOU consider wrong, and are moving heaven and earth (in your mind at least) to assuage your conscience. Since it's the most common of all human pasttimes I don't expect to convince you to give up whatever it may be just on my say so. But you might try to treat all the claims of those you accept uncritically with the same skepticism you press on theists. Do you think they have no axe to grind, no agenda to sneak past your guard? If you really do believe that, then you're nothing but a cynical naif, which contradictory double-thinking profession is grown to be very popular these days. Thanks I'll the same, I'll keep testing my unconscious beliefs whenever I discover them, and building bedrock conscious beliefs a little at a time.

Answer 3

Used car salesman make decent money, depending o their percentage, base salary and successful sales.

The used car market is more lucrative than the new car market, generally, as there is more room fo profit.

Dealer cost and final sale on a new vehicle can be a lot smaller margin, thereby reducing profit for commission percentage.
