An advertisement appeared in the Trinidad Express for the sale of a Nissan X-Trail at Maracus Valley Automotive, Inc. for $20,000. The advertisement had been misprinted by the Trinidad Express. The actual price of the Nissan X-Trail was $30,000. Merna showed up at Maracus Valley Automotive and said she would buy the X-Tail for $20,000. Maracus Valley Automotive refused to sell the vehicle for $20,000. Merna sued, claiming that the advertisement was an offer that she accepted, creating a binding agreement. Was Merna correct?
