Bargain Car
Wullie was reading a classified ad in the local paper where a woman was selling her brand new car. It had only 3,000 miles. "Like new," the ad boasted. "Mint condition. £75.00."
He laughed to himself, and said, "Look at that in the newspaper, must be a mistake." But he decided to call the number anyway and ask about it.
"Is it really brand new?"
"Yes," she replied.
"Three thousand miles?"
"Yes."
"The price?"
"Seventy-five quid ," she answered.
"Seventy-five quid ! Lady, what's wrong with it?" he asked.
"Nothing is wrong with it. And, amazingly, you're the first to call. I suppose nobody else believes the ad."
He decided to look at it. She let him take a test drive. The car looked exquisite and ran perfectly. He just couldn't believe his luck.
"The car is yours for £75.00. Just drive it away."
He paid her and took the keys. "Please tell me, lady," he persisted. "You could have sold this car for £35,000, at least.
What is going on?"
She told her story: "I bought the car for my husband on our fortieth wedding anniversary. Two weeks later he ran off with somebody else. Last week I got a text from him.
They are in a resort in Miami Beach, Florida. The text said, 'Need money, sell car, send the cash.
