She agreed to pay 000 for the car, as a down payment and the rest in monthly instalments over one year. She used the car mostly to make deliveries and pick up supplies. After she had driven the car for three months, the bearings burnt out. Since erin was in a position to hire a delivery person, she decided that she no longer wanted the car. Having studied the basics of contract law in high school, erin attempted to return the vehicle to the car dealership, claiming that she had elected to avoid the contract. The dealership refused, having received an opinion from its lawyer that a contract for necessaries is enforceable against a minor. Erin replied that the car was not a necessary, and that the contract was therefore not enforceable.
