Men vs women: WeBuyCars debate
Not everyone was clapping. Several male commenters questioned her choice of dealership, with some warning that WeBuyCars vehicles can carry hidden mechanical issues. But many women pushed back hard, reading the criticism as something else entirely.
@Blossom 🌸 said:
"I told you guys men are intimidated by women."
@mphomoloi26 added:
"Men hate to see women win without them."
Others pushed back hard, reading the criticism as something else entirely.
Others who had actually bought from the same dealership came to Yolanda's defence. @we move...14🚚🛣️ said:
"Congratulations sisi, also bought mine there last year."
@Motho wa Nnete❤️ added:
"I bought a car at WeBuyCars and my car has never given me problems before🤨. Men are so weird tlhe [really]. Congratulations Mama 🥹❤️."
One commenter, @GIFTSA, offered practical advice rather than criticism:
"🔥 [She's done it, yes] congratulations. Take it in for a full service, change the timing belt, more exp and enjoy!!! Ignore all negative comments."
@Miytu Jack kept it straightforward:
"I hope you went with a mechanic or someone that knows cars."
And @angazi nami brought the humour:
"Apparently the salesperson got promoted immediately after this deal 😂."
