 “Don’t Buy Benz If You’re Not Ready!” – Carter Efe Cries Out After Spending ₦3.4M on Repairs

“Don’t Buy Benz If You’re Not Ready!” – Carter Efe Cries Out After Spending ₦3.4M on Repairs

Popular content creator and influencer Carter Efe is making headlines for more than just his skits — this time, it’s his luxury car struggles that have gone viral.

In a video posted on X (formerly Twitter), Carter Efe sounded off a dramatic warning to fans, advising them not to buy a Mercedes Benz unless they are financially ready to handle the responsibilities that come with it. This followed a shocking revelation that he had to cough out ₦3.4 million in a single day to repair his Benz.

“Benz is not for small boys,” he said. “Only this morning alone my Benz don collect ₦3.4 million. So if you dey think say you wan buy Benz, just know say you go keep extra money.”

He also claimed that everyone driving a Benz in Lekki is secretly suffering, struggling with maintenance costs they don’t talk about.

💬 Social Media Reacts With Mixed Feelings

His comments sparked a flood of reactions:

  • “₦3.4 million? Na lie. Unless you change half engine.” – @Bside51115

  • “You’re using the wrong fuel, that’s the problem.” – @Jide_93

  • “Next time buy a better car, not a ‘cheap’ Benz with big dreams.” – @Bigmandexzzy

  • “This is why I’m sticking to my Toyota. Peace of mind is priceless.” – @OlumideDrives

💭 OPINION: Benz Is Not Just Luxury, It’s a Lifestyle Commitment

Carter Efe’s experience reflects what many Nigerians with luxury cars don’t admit: maintenance isn’t child’s play. A Benz might boost your status, but can your wallet handle the pressure?

In a country where inflation is high and fuel quality is inconsistent, not all luxury cars thrive, especially without premium servicing and parts. This is more than a “buy or don’t buy” scenario — it’s a reality check: a luxury car without a luxury budget is a liability.

Efe’s honesty might seem dramatic, but he’s highlighting what many in the flashy lane are silently enduring. It’s not just about owning the car; it’s about sustaining it.
