What do you do if you win a car on a game show?

Well, you trade it in, of course!

At least that’s what a woman named Samara did after she won a 2024 Nissan Sentra on The Price is Right.

Samara said that after winning on the show, she was told that she could get a Nissan Sentra or she could pick another car from a pool of vehicles that have the same value as a Sentra.

She took to social media to get some advice and said, “Everybody’s like, ‘Look at Toyota.’ There was not a single comment that was telling me anything bad about Toyota or to honestly not even look at Toyota. Everybody was so pro Toyota.”

Samara said she test-drove some Toyotas and that after adding extra features to the car, she’d end up having to pay $15,138 to cover the price difference for a 2025 Toyota Camry.

She said that it was the “perfect situation for me if I can pick what I want, and this car is going to last me forever because it’s a Toyota. I might as well get nicer options, because this way I can build my credit and just make payments until it’s paid off.”

Samara wrote in the video’s caption, “Still absolutely worth it for my situation but I understand why this may not be worth it for a lot of people.”

Here’s the video.

Replying to @carlos92261 Hope this clears up a lot of questions people are having about how much I have to pay for my “winnings”! Still absolutely worth it for my situation but I understand why this may not be worth it for a lot of people. #thepriceisright #gameshow #contestant #prize #newcar #2025toyotacamry
