I'm getting 20+ mpg average in the Ram.

Not sure it's worth the disappoinment of not hearing the hemi doe. It's definitely the smart thing to do based on my usage but still. Probably the only thing I'd change about the truck I'd I had to pick something.

Going to be a significant change of pace for me - turning off the :dillerman: is weird after several years of dilling.

Sounds like you finally landed where you should have been all along. You will destroy it.

Pay is more, pay is more consistent, I work only 5 more hours a week or so. So, instead of 44, I work 49.

It's a good move for career advancement.
This seems like all good news, 5 more hours a week isn't terribad for more and consistent pay.

:fuckeyah: :waxer:

No more commish? Gotta say, the straight salary life is better in a lot of ways. The constant hustle that starts every month at zero is definitely a grind.

Salary + a per car unit bonus I get at the end of the month. I get paid on every car the store sells. New and used.
Can someone still work directly with you to buy a car, or do they have to go through the floor monkey first?

:notbad:

I am salary + commission/bonus based on territory growth. It's not a bad way to be, can fall back on the salary if a month is shit. The only thing tough with that pay plan for you is if you guys have any shit :dillerman: it effects your bottom line, but hopefully y'all hire good people.
