What is the ruling on taking a commission from a car dealership, given that I performed an act outside my authority, which was purchasing cars on behalf of the company during a period when the main dealership had stopped selling cars to the company? And what is the ruling on taking a commission from this dealership in exchange for my bringing the necessary amount to complete the deal outside official working hours?

You are not permitted to undertake the actions you mentioned without the permission of the company you work for. This is because an employee is a private contractor (ajir khass), who needs the permission of their employer for their actions. A special agent (wakil khass) is not allowed to act except within the scope of the agency given to them.
