According to her account, she spent ₦10 million on repairs, while a Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) scan revealed it was from Canada with pre-import issues.

However, she sold it for ₦5 million and purchased a Mercedes-Benz A220 from another dealer.

“After the repairs, I went back to the same buyers to let them know the car was now in good condition.
