Anyone else ever sell motor vehicles for a living? |
|
I did it for 8 years in Michigan and Wisconsin. BTW, you must be licensed to sell motor vehicles in Wisconsin unlike those pirates in Michigan.
I loved it!

4. It's different when you are on a car lot |
|
a whole culture different. It was fascinating for me. I enjoyed it without reservation and so did most of the people that I sold to. It was fun that way-and I never worried about meeting quotas or aftermarket sales--someone is always looking to buy a vehicle somewhere.
People trusted me because I'm an honest person. I worked for some dishonest owners at times, but most of the dealers I worked for were honest too.
Yet motor-vehicle salespeople are stereotyped as "used-car" con artists and liars out to rob you blind.
I disagree, of course. The real bad stuff is in F&I-lol.

2. Russ Darrow is a car business guy running against Senator Feingold. |
|
Russ Darrow for Senator?
Against our Russ Feingold?
I worked for Russ Darrow for awhile-he'll never get my vote. Many of the dealers are RW.
Like EVS.

After hearing that my car needed $1600 worth of repairs in order to be drivable (and had broken down on me every couple of weeks for the past 2 months), I put it on ebay. I was out of work at the time, and the money that I made on the car was enough to pay the rent for a couple of months... I know what you're thinking. YES, I DID DISCLOSE what was wrong with the car to all potential buyers. I love people who think they can fix things even though professionals would advise against trying to do so... I got $1350 for that car.

5. I only made an income by selling cars, trucks, motorcycles |
|
to people. I was paid on commission. A capitalist lackey! I had a lot of fun doing it too.
