legally enforceable contract has several critical components, the first of which is an offer. An excellent example of this is the selling of a used vehicle. The buyer makes an offer of a particular amount of money for the car and/or the seller offers the car for sale. There must also be acceptance -- either in writing, according to the stipulations of the UCC, or for contracts involving smaller amounts of money, evidence of an acceptance of the offer. The car's seller will likely write out a contract detailing the exchange of the vehicle for the money (Legal elements of a contract, 2013, State of Texas).
