I have only been in car sales for 5 years and I made $45,000 the first two years and over $70,000 the last three years. Some people I work with made well over $100,000 a year. I work over 50 hours a week. I am paid a Commission of 30 to 35% of the profit on any sale or what is called a mini. This is the least a dealership will pay for the sale of any Vehicle.
Most car salesmen are paid on commission, depending on the number of cars they sold that month.
Starting out car salesmen make 1500-3000 a month , most are paid a % of the profit the Dealer makes. I A good salesmen can make 200,000 or even more in the right store. but most around 30,000 a year.

Most car sales people make minimum wage for the area that they are in. HOWEVER, this is if they are not selling anything. When they make a sale, they get commission on the sale and that can add up to some pretty good money.
Benefits of car sales vary by state to state and from dealer to dealer. Some groups pay a flat salary. Most salesmen and women are on commission; as are their sales managers. Often there are bonuses called, "spiffs" or "spins" put out by the dealer or the manufacturer. In order for a salesperson to qualify for a manufacturer bonus they need to be qualified (normally from tests). Most manufacturers now use prepaid cards to load bonuses on. Generally the bonus one can expect from their manufacturer is under $400 ( per vehicle). When a dealer puts out a spiff this is motivation for a salesmen to sell an old age unit, or to sell hard to move units. In general a car salesmen who is on commission is paid a draw (ie: minimum wage). Some dealerships pay a low draw and make their salesmen beat their hours. Meaning if you dont sell any cars then you get minimum wage. If you beat your 120 hrs for two weeks, meaning your commission is higher than your total hourly wage for the two weeks then you get the difference from your commission - your hours. Some dealers allow sales people a demo car to drive, but not most, and not often.
They have to find a good price to sell the car, to the customers!

That depends on where you're working and what the PPP (Purchasing Power Parity) is. In general, car locksmiths don't get paid very much, but it's unlikely that they're underpaid.
