I have a friend who is related to a guy who owns ~12 car dealerships and that guy is FILTHY rich. As in: 3rd home in Telluride CO is a 5,000sf “cabin.” Owns two small yachts.
But also, imagine a job market suddenly flooded by car salespeople… shudders
I mean, there shouldn’t be less sales people, just they’ll work for the manufacturer interested in getting more of their inventory sold rather than a slimeball third party interested in predatory lending, needless add-ons/ accessories, and inflating the prices of already expensive vehicles so they can parasitize a few dollars more.
I was desperate for a job years ago and took a car sales job. Firstly, I felt slimy as fuck doing it and didn’t sell many cars because of it.
That said, the guy that owned the auto group owned 4 dealerships out of the 6 in town that weren’t used only car lots. Hyundai/Genesis, Honda, Nissan and Toyota/Scion. They constantly ran “sales” that only saturated the market since the town was like 200 miles from another city. Then he goes and buys the Ford/Lincoln dealership, leaving only the GM (Chevy, GMC, Buick and Cadillac) and Dodge/Chrysler ones not owned by him.
Dude was stupid rich, had literally the largest house in the city and bought a brand new C8 Corvette (when it was first released), burned through 4 sets of tires, got 3 speeding tickets then totalled it all within 2 weeks. To him it was a tax write-off. Not to mention all the other toys this guy bought and abused.
I met him once, he was a complete dick to even his store managers. Fuck that guy.

We’re going to need someone to pick lettuce in Salinas once Trump deports everyone who knows how to do that work.
