The owner of an old car parked it in front of his house with a "for sale" sign in the windshield. In response to an inquiry from his neighbor, the car owner said that he would take $400 for the car. The neighbor responded, "You’ve got a deal." Because it was a Sunday, and the banks were closed, the neighbor told the car owner that he would come to his house with the $400 the next day at about 6 p. m. The car owner said that was fine. At 9:15 the next morning, the car owner called his neighbor and told him that when they had talked the previous day, he forgot that he had just put two new tires on that car and that he would need an extra $50 to cover their cost. The neighbor agreed to bring $450 in cash to the car owner’s house at about six o’clock. Is the neighbor legally bound to pay the car owner the additional $50?A. Yes, because the original contract was not in writing.
B. Yes, because the contract, as modified, does not need to be in writing.
C. No, because no additional consideration was given for the oral modification.
D. No, because neither the neighbor nor the car owner is a merchant.
