Literally no one fúcking answered the question, but also somehow wrote a ton.
No shít?
Of course there are variables and context. Way to literally have zero clue what my comment said.
From what I've heard, a lot of it depends on the dealership, but generally, car salespeople at high-end dealerships like BMW or Mercedes can earn a combination of base salary and commission. After a couple of years, you might be looking at a solid base salary, plus bonuses and commissions based on how many cars you sell. If you're good at building relationships with clients and closing deals, it can be pretty lucrative.

My ex-Uncle started by selling Toyotas and then upgraded to the Porsche/Maserati dealership. I have no idea what he made, but he had a nice house with a pool and always a new Porsche in the garage.
Former Cadillac Sales: It really depends on the dealer and auto group. Their pay plans will vary and are not set by the manufacturer. Only some manufacturer program money, *some* spiffs, etc are from them.
The compensation range varies WILDLY depending on your skills, pay plans, store volume, and how well you can drive business.

It’s not directly related to the price of the cars they are selling if that’s what you’re asking. Someone selling a Kia is a lot closer in pay to someone selling a Ferrari than you would think. Granted, like others have said, it has a lot to do with the specific dealer network you work for, and your ability to sell cars. People who sell Porsches may drive Porsches but only because they get company lease deals, not because they’re rich.
Typically in luxury sales there’s more room for margin, so you have *potential* to make more. However, you’re selling maybe 15 Cadillacs or 8 Ferraris a month, where someone killing at Kia is doing 30-40 units. Margin vs volume. Different customers and sales processes and all that jazz.
Car sales are a lot about image. The dealerships want their salespeople to be driving the brand so they offer significant lease incentives. Seeing the salesperson drive a Mercedes creates an anchor for your decision
