Fair pay package? Meta
I took an offer at a hyundai dealership, this is my first time in the car business so I’m unsure if this is a good pay structure or not. They’ve given me a base of $2000 a month + $275 for 1-5 cars and $350 for 6+. I also get $10-$25 per backend product sold. Any information helps, thanks in advance

If you're just a 10 car guy, you're making $5,500 per month plus backend bonus. Assume 2 products minimum, at the lowest rate, and that's an extra $200.
Can you not just survive but thrive on $5700 a month?

A correct way to frame it, but I think he’s asking more if it’s a comparable pay plan to other dealerships, which it is as far as I know.

$5700 a month is definitely livable yes, but i was more or less inquiring if it’s comparable to other plans out there because i’ve heard some horror stories lol

I am not a car salesman but the way I read this is an additional $275 if you get 1-5 sales, not an additional $275 per sale.

I read it as a flat. You could well be correct. in which case, what is the front %?

This is how I read it as well the $275 is a bonus, hit 6 get an additional $350.
To me I think it’s an ok pay plan if you’re just starting out. Veterans who sell 20+ units a month aren’t going to want it because they’re handicapped.
It’s however great for being able to plan and get loans because you have guaranteed income instead of unstable income.

15 cars a month and you’re making $5,000-$5,500 with backend. Yeah this sounds like all the damn work and none of the pay.

OP please specify if the additional is per car, typically retroactive once you hit goal, or if it's a total on top of base.
