Talonz, your post brought back a ton of memmory's. I've been out of the car Biz for about 11 years, but spent over 25 years in the car business. Its not what it used to be, that for sure. I made a **** load of money back many years ago in the car biz. Most of my time was spent in Mngt, so we DID make more than the "green Peas"
One of the things that changed, and a reason I got out was that the single point franchises were getting gobbled up by mega dealers. And so one of the first thing dealers cut is commisions. I remember one place I worked commish was; 25% 30% 35% plus 10% back end money, with a demo. Cha Ching!! After being bought out that all got cut to 20%, thats it.
And the dealer pack went up too.
Hell, I could go on and on.
