    Hey. Just wondering if anyone has worked selling cars in Iraq on military installations?
    Curious as to whether you can earn good money?

    I know a load of lads who did this in south Germany as there's loads of US bases around there too.

    They never made that much and it was pretty inconsistant.

    I think youre mad to even conside heading over there!

    Did it for almost 2 years . In both Iraq and Kuwait. The pay is 100% commission based and you get an advance of $3000 a month . If your in a good location you can make good cash. On some DAYS i made over a grand. Not easy money by any means though.

    Happy to answer any other questions u have .

    You are selling the american troops and contractors , american made cars and harley davidson bikes. They order and pay for them in Iraq or wherever they are stationed and they collect them when the get home

    I'm currently working for the same crowd in Germany. Bit different in setup to what happens in the ME but I've been here two years and love it. There is serious money to be made but it most definitely isn't for everyone. It is hard work but the rewards are there, I've gotten some very nice pay cheques. It is only commissioned based, so there is always a risk - If you've nothing keeping you at home just go for it, if doesn't work out they'll pay for your flight home.

    Sorry for digging up an old thread but its the only one I could find.

    Got a phone call off this crowd after applying back in November (6 months ago)

    I'll be receiving a phone call for the first initial interview in about 30 minutes.
    I know it's been stated it's not for everyone but I can assume it's legit and not one of those similar door to door sales company's.

    Anything to look out for?
    He's already said he's recruiting for Germany so which sites would be the quiet ones and which the busy?
    I've plenty of questions but I'll direct them to him when he calls.
