ふだん、値引き販売をしない商品なので、高価で迷って
いた人にはいい機会です（私も申し込みました）。
先着２００名限定だそうなので、買おうという人は急ぎましょう。

1万円引きはお得ですねえ。

That's reassuring, Rosa.
I've heard so many awful stories about elderly drivers who
mistakenly believe their driving skills are as good as they
ever were until they're involved in an accident.
That's why I agree there should be more compulsory vision
and driving-ability tests.
Sometimes people aren't capable of accurate self-assessment,
because they're blinded by their own pride.
It's very sad, isn't it, when someone who has been proud of
their driving skills over the years one day has to hand over
their car keys.

A mistaken belief or opinion is incorrect.
