Car dealer advertises car for N5.5 million

The car dealer, who goes by the handle @aydeemotors on TikTok, dubbed the vehicle as a “foreign used” model with “genuine papers”.

However, it was the asking price that left many social media users aghast.

The dealer had slapped a whopping N5.5 million on the vehicle, which many deemed to be grossly inflated.

“For sale Foreign used Nissan micra automatic with genuine papers selling for just 5.5m Kaduna,” the video’s caption read.

As the video made the rounds on social media, many users took to the comments section to express their outrage and disbelief.

The backlash was swift and merciless, with the dealer facing a barrage of criticism from all corners.
