According to her TikTok post, Nurse Kindy said she lives in the UK, where she bought the car at the cost of £6190 (N12.3 million).
When the car clocked five months, she took it to the dealership to have it exchanged for another one.
However, when she got there, she was only offered £3000 (N5.9 million) for the old car.

Kindy said she was surprised because the money could not even get her another car.
Her words:
“So five months ago I got my first car in the UK for £6190. And yesterday, I went to part-exchange the car. And guess how much they offered me for my car? £3000. So the car I got five months ago for £6190 lost 50% of its value in five months. So, now, they took the car for £3000 and I have to pay extra deposit to clear off my finance to get a new car. Then for my insurance, I just called my insurance company to change to a new car. And I just paid a processing fee of £52.29.”
