How do salesman afford to drive the cars they're selling?

Seriously? They marked up the TRD PRO for employees? This doesn’t sound like a great incentive for the people that sell the vehicles…

Yep crazy but thats the policy

Hence said employees probably get their cars from competitors, ha!

I worked for an Infiniti dealer a couple of years ago, and got a one day unicorn deal on a 2017 QX30 Premium ($41k msrp) with $1500 down for $246 a month for 15k mi/year. This was right before the end of Infiniti’s fiscal year so the programs were stupid good, and I ended up getting over 10k off MSRP and a tier bump.

In december I was offered a nicely loaded RS400 for $400 but passed since didn’t want to pay for the insurance hike.

So I’d say it depends on how long you’ve worked at a dealership and what the manufacturer programs are live.

In what year did you lease the 2019 QX30? I’m guessing it’s a typo to say “a couple of years ago.”

My mistake. It was a typo. I leased a 2017 QX30 in April 2017.

how is rs400 driving experience? im thinking about to get 2019 rs400.

I’ve heard it’s like driving a regular Q50, but with more power. Transmission tuning could use a little attention as well and dynamic steering is vague.

Thanks for the info

I test drove one and agree it was fast but very floaty

Actually heard it was better to get the RS optioned without the dynamic steering. The regular steering was adequate enough for the car.

No joke, had a co-worker go down the street for a used car cause that dealership was selling very similar vehicle for like 2,000 less than we offered based off company policy.

Plenty of people, get at invoice or below. Pretty rare that we make any front gross on a new car. Now that is coming from a salesmen prospective. I do not get paid on the hold back whatever amount that may be.

Wow, that’s terrible…

Employee pricing are very attractive. I remember leasing a $63k S4 for $550 including tax with just my signature.

Out of curiosity? On a, lets say, $45,000 C300, what would 15% of gross profit come too approximately? If you’re a decent salesman and there’s a couple grand of profit then you can be pretty comfortable,but, I assume there was no base salary and its all incentive driven?
