My experience is no they do not, they may for new salesmen who are in training but just about all that I have come across pay strict commission.
 
There are a few that do pay strictly salary but those are rare.

We get a very, very small, like you need an electron microscope to see it, small salary. We are the only dealership in our autogroup that has a salary.

Question to the sales team.. by dc_driver

Why does almost every car dealer list the destination cost as separate cost? What I mean is that every person, in the continental US, pays the same destination fee on a particular make and model and I am curious why this is simply not included in the price of the car automatically. Cannot tell you how many times I have received quotes only to find that the destination cost was not included in the quote. Now I am a pretty savvy shopper and always ask for an itemized out the door quote. I wonder how many folks make it all the way to the end of the deal before they realize (or maybe they don't) that destination is a separate charge and non-negotiable...

My place paid either commission or minimum wage whichever was greater. Needless to say, if you're commission was less than minimum wage you weren't going to be there too long.

They probably figured you were going to give them a bad survey so they had it dumped.

I don't know, but I wish they owuld just include it in the price instead of showing it seperate.
 
Some dealers will quote a price minus the destination charge. Then they spring it on the customers after the deal is done.

That's partly your fault you know, for not coming to a mutual agreement on what constitutes an 'out the door' price. Give those dastardly dealers an inch...........
