Beetle car sold for N3908 wows many people
Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that an old receipt of a Beetle car sold for N3908 had surfaced online.
A man named Ojeniyi who shared the receipt of the car purchase on Facebook asked people what they could buy with such an amount of money today.
Reacting to the photo, a Facebook user identified as Aliyu Hamagam said the minimum wage in 1982 was N120, suggesting that a Beetle car was expensive back in the day.
In his words:
"In 1982, the national minimum wage was only N120. So you can understand what it means for one to raise about N4000 for a Beetle car."
