    Alvin runs a business selling expensive cars. Last Monday he mistakenly placed a notice on one car indicating that it was for sale of $5000
    when in fact its real price was $25000. Bert later noticed the sign and recognizing what a bargain it was immediately
    indicated to Alvin that he accepted the offer and would take the car for the indicated amount. Alvin, however, told bert
    that there had been a mistake and that the true price of the car was $25000.. Bert insisted that he was entitled to get
    the car at the lower price , and when alvin would not give to him at that price Bert said he would sue Alvin.

    After Bert had left, Alvin chnaged the price on the car to $25000 and subsequently Cat came in and said she would like
    to buy the car, but that she would have to arrange the finance.

    My question: Sir here, as C said that she would have to arrange the finance so is it executory consideration?

    Yes, I suppose it is. But so too is Alvin’s side of the transaction because Cat has not taken possession of the car

    Alvin owes her the car

    Cat owes Alvin the money

    OK?
