Did Jim and Laura Buy a Car?
Worth 200 points
HINT: See Chapters 10-14 of the text to help understand some of the legal issues covered in this assignment.
Jim and Laura Buyer visit the local car dealership because they are interested in buying a new car. The car they currently have is aging and is starting to have mechanical problems. Jim and Laura would share the new car, and use it to go back and forth to work and school. Before going to the dealership, Jim and Laura decide that they can only afford $400.00 a month in car payments.
Once at the car dealership, Jim and Laura meet Stan Salesman. Stan shows them several vehicles and Jim and Laura test-drive several of the cars. Jim and Laura particularly like the blue 4-door sedan. Therefore, they agree to give Stan Salesman a $100.00 deposit to hold the car for a day. Stan Salesman does not give them the receipt but guarantees that the $100.00 is refundable. No documents were signed.
The next day, Stan Salesman calls Jim and Laura to ask them when they would like to take delivery of the car. Jim and Laura, on the way home from the dealership, decided that they were not going to buy the car because they did not want to spend that money each month. Therefore, Jim and Laura tell Stan salesman that they have decided not to buy the car and request their $100.00 deposit back.
Stan insists that the $100.00 was a deposit on the car and was meant to be part of the contract to buy the car. Stan is very persistent and insistent that Jim and Laura have contracted to buy the car; therefore, the $100.00 will be applied to the purchase price of the car. Jim and Laura are shocked and angry as not only do they not want to spend the money, but now feel as though they are being duped by Stan Salesman.
Jim and Laura have an appointment to see a lawyer in a few days, but know you are a student taking a business law class and come to you for advice. They are very frazzled, and understandably upset that they may have just purchased a car. Since you have been taking business law, you have read and understand the elements of a contract and the defenses to a contract. Therefore, although you are not a lawyer, you provide some basic advice from what you’ve learned in your business law class.
In three to five (3-5) pages, advise Jim and Laura based on the above facts as presented, the material provided in the text, and material covered in the lecture. In your paper, be sure to address the following:
Define the elements of a legal contract using examples from the scenario where applicable.
Decide whether or not there was a contract for the purchase of the automobile.
Identify the facts from the scenario which support your decision on whether or not a contract exists for the purchase of the automobile.

Please write a 1000 word essay on your Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats (SWOT[1]) in your college career this year. Discuss your strengths that will help you succeed and your weaknesses that you will need to be mindful of in order to reach your potential. Also, reflect on the challenges that you face that might prevent you from succeeding at the highest levels in the College. What types of opportunities do you think are available for you to succeed as a student? For the exercise to be useful, please be as honest as you are comfortable with. I will not share your essay with anyone; this is your opportunity to speak freely and tell me what is on your mind. This is a great way to communicate with me if you are not completely comfortable expressing yourself in class or feel as though a one-on-one conversation is more appropriate. I will respond to any questions, so take advantage and get feedback. Examples: Weakness: I have a history of starting projects and not finishing them. Strength: I have great organization and planning skills; I always start projects ahead of time. Threat (or challenge): I have a Mom with health problems; I might be the only caregiver she has very soon. Opportunities: I can apply to be a PASS leader in BYS119, make money and remember basic biology!
