A man in Nairobi saw an ad in the paper for an “almost new” Range Rover Sport, in excellent condition – price Ksh.5000 (N10,000).
He was certain the printers had made a typographical error, but even at Ksh.50,000 it would have been a bargain, so he hurried to the address to look at the car....
A nice-looking woman appeared at the front door. Yes, she had placed the ad. The price was indeed Ksh.5000. “The car,” she said, “is in the garage. Come and look at it.”
The fellow was overwhelmed. It was a beautiful Range Rover Sport and, as the ad promised, “nearly new.”
He asked if he could drive the car around the block. The woman said, “Of course,” and went with him. The Range Rover drove like a dream.
The young man peeled off Ksh.5000 and handed it over, somewhat sheepishly. The woman gave him the necessary papers, and the car was his.
Finally, the new owner couldn’t stand it any longer. He had to know why the woman would sell the Range Rover at such a ridiculously low price.
Her reply was simple: With a half-smile on her face, she said, “My husband ran off with his secretary a few days ago and left a note instructing me to sell the car and the house, and send him the money.
