In the now viral clip, Elconshi Auto is seen driving a sleek Ram Rebel while showing off the stylish interior of the vehicle. As the camera moves around the car, a message appears on the screen that quickly catches the attention of viewers.
The text read: “If you save 2,000 cedis a month from your monthly salary for a year, you’d have saved a million cedis to afford this Luxury Ram Rebel. I go lie for you?”advice
Elconshi Auto has built a reputation online for sharing entertaining car-related content while promoting vehicles through its dealership.
His style usually blends humour with luxury car showcases, something that keeps viewers engaged and talking.
The Ram Rebel featured in the video is a powerful pickup truck known for its strong engine, bold design and comfortable interior.
Realistic breakdown to afford a Ram Rebel
In Ghana, vehicles like this are often seen as luxury machines because of their high price and maintenance costs.
Saving GH¢2,000 every month for a year would give a total of GH¢24,000, which is far below the price of a Ram Rebel pickup truck.
In Ghana, a Ram Rebel is considered a luxury pickup, and its price can vary depending on the model year, condition and import costs.
On average, a Ram Rebel can cost between GH¢800,000 and GH¢1.5 million or more.
This means that even after saving GH¢2,000 monthly for a year, the amount would only cover a small portion of the vehicle’s total cost.
Netizens reacted to Elconshi's hilarious advice
The statement was clearly meant as a joke, and many viewers instantly noticed that the math did not quite add up. Saving GH¢2,000 every month for a year would normally give you GH¢24,000, not GH¢1 million.
Still, that did not stop social media users from enjoying the humour.
Many people filled the comment section with laughing emojis, while others jokingly said they were ready to follow the “Elconshi savings plan” if it could truly turn a small monthly saving into a million cedis within a year.
Check out some comments below:
Kwame Afrani commented:
"What if I am earning 2000gh a month?"
Ophel commented:
"Anka we’ve all bought a car😂😂😂😂."
Cruses commented:
"The math's not mathing- 2k x 12 is not equal to 1m😂."

That is part of the reason the video resonated with many viewers. While the savings calculation was obviously exaggerated, it touched on a real dream many young people have: owning a luxury car one day.
For most people online, the video simply served as a good laugh. But beyond the humour, it also reminded viewers that big dreams often start with small steps, even if turning GH¢2,000 into a million cedis in one year might remain just a joke for now.
