Need help figuring out if this is a good comission structure.

I've been offered a sales position at a high-volume powersports dealership (top 5 nationally, 50-80 units/month claimed during interview). Trying to figure out if this pay structure is normal and whether the income potential is realistic before I make the jump from a stable hourly job.

The Structure:

Base Salary: None

Draw: $800 bi-weekly

Training: $400/week for first 90 days (receive whichever is greater between training salary and earned commission/draw)

New Unit Commission (tiered by monthly volume):

Units 1-3: $200 each

Unit 4: $215

Unit 5: $225

Unit 6: $250

Unit 7: $275

Unit 8: $300

Unit 9: $350

Unit 10+: $400

Used/Import: $200 flat regardless of volume

P&A Commission (monthly total):

$2,000-$2,500: $25

$2,501-$3,000: $50

$3,001-$4,000: $75

$4,001-$5,000: $100

$5,001-$6,000: $125

$6,001-$7,000: $150

$7,001-$8,000: $200

$8,001-$9,000: $300

$9,001-$10,000: $400

$10,001+: $500

Monthly Bonuses:

12 units sold: $250

15 units sold: $500

20 units sold: $750

Highest greets that month: $100

Most units sold that month: $250

Most appointments shown: $100

Most P&A sold (min $5,000 to qualify): $250

10/10 CXI survey returned: $50

Activity Pay:

Greet: $2

Sit Down: $5

Write Up: $10

Close: $25

Requirements:

600 outbound calls/month

600 outbound texts/month

20 training videos/month

Missing minimums = loss of bonus opportunity that month

The one caveat is this is a Harley dealership and I have seen sales steadily declining in recent years so that is a hesitation as well.

Thanks!
