Is it better to work for a chrysler dodge jeep dealership or Audi?

[Josh]

I have an offer at both. I have worked at a Honda dealership in the past where I averaged abotu 17 cars a month. I am interested in making the most money possible for my time there. I know it obviously depends on traffic to the store but generally should there be a preference and why?

For Bonus do a ranking of these dealerships in general to help others in the future. (Honda, Toyota, Nissan, Subaru, Kia, Hyundai, BMW, Mercedes, Lexus, Infiniti, Audi, Ford, Chevy, Chrysler Dodge Jeep)

HI, I'D SAY THE AUDI DEALER DEPENDING ON SALES AND VOLUME. AUDI'S ARE GENERALLY MORE AND THEREFORE MORE PROFIT AND OPTION POTENTIAL. GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR CHOICE.

When it comes to car sales volume is the key. You might make more money per car if you sell high end Audi's but you'll sell a heck of a lot more cars if you work for a CDJ dealer.

Here are the actual USA sales numbers for March 2013

Chrysler 33,905
Dodge 59,885

You have to be a very good sale professional to make money selling high end luxury cars. mercedes only sells 26,000 cars per month and Ford sells almost 229,000

Ford sells NINE TIMES more cars per month than Mercedes does. Are you going to make 9 times more commission selling a MB instead of a Ford? Probably not.
