In the last few months our new and used vehicle sales volume has increased compared to the prior year. We have consistently been one of the largest volume dealerships in new and used vehicles sales.

(Several of our salespeople earned well over $100,000 this year. How much did you make this year?) There is no cap or limit to the income earned. You will be paid on your individual performance! We do not guarantee the estimated income.
