Anyone in car sales?

I was searching for answers on Google, but then thought here would surely be more helpful!

I have been considering getting into new car sales recently. I've worked in field sales since graduating from uni 3 years ago and know what a typical car sales role entails.

However my reservation is this: with base salaries very low (high commission), how do you convince the banks to give you a decent size mortgage? I've got one now, but I remember when I bought my first house the lender said only a maximum of 25% bonus can be used. This was also only possible if the same level of bonus had been achieved every month for 24 months. FWIW, I am looking to move house within 4 years.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks. Yes suppose if I started sooner rather than later, that would be ample time to use the commission.

A friend of a friend is sales manager at a local BMW franchise and I've heard good things. I've also spoken to a guy at Merc who enjoys his work. I wouldn't be too picky unless it sounded awful to be honest, depends what's available.
Would you recommend/avoid any in particular?
