I have thought about applying for car sales jobs a couple of times but have been warned away by my father in law and my brother in law who are or were both in the industry. My brother in law does a lot of servicing jobs for a Holden and a Ford dealership and knows a few of the reps. He also worked for a Holden and Nissan dealership before he started his own business. His view is that the sales people work pretty hard for what is basically a comission job. ie no sales no pay (or very little). At present a new car sale person may be swimming in it but it is not always that good. The reason they dont tell you the bad things is obvious. The reason they dont know as much about cars as they sometimes should is because for some of them it is only a job. I have only come across a couple who I thought much of. As far as buying a car gos, like most things, do your own research and dont rely on the sales bullshit. I should know. I'm a scum sucking sales person.
