Grace saw an advertisement posted by Apari on a car sales website that said For Sale: 2015 Hyundai hatchback. Grace telephoned Apari on 3 April

Grace saw an advertisement posted by Apari on a car sales website that said For Sale: 2015 Hyundai hatchback. Grace telephoned Apari on 3 April and after some discussions about the car and its condition, Grace said to Apari Im interested in the car and could pay $12,000 for it. Apari replied Thanks, but I wont accept less than $15,000 for it. Youve seen the photos, its in immaculate condition. Grace said Yes, it is in lovely condition, youve kept it well. I can pay $14,000. Apari said Im only getting rid of the car as I dont really need it. I just catch the train or walk everywhere. My work is only 5 minutes from Central station. Its not an urgent sale, but Ill take $14,500. Grace was thrilled, but explained to Apari that she would need time to arrange the finances. Apari said that he understood and said to Grace Just let me know by 5:00pm April 10. Grace and Apari exchanged phone details and home addresses. Grace arranged a loan on 5 April. Grace then rang Apari repeatedly throughout the day but could not reach him. There was no voice mail service so she could not leave a message for Apari to return her call. The following day Grace tried and failed again. So, Grace decided to send a letter to Aparis postal address that day, with a cheque for $1450 as a 10% deposit for the car, with the balance payable on collection. Grace could not reach Apari by telephone on April 5 because Apari had left on a five day business trip to Brisbane during which he was offered a new job. After Apari accepted the new job, he realised he would need a car as his new workplace was not near a train station and it would require him to do some driving. Apari sent Grace a text message on April 8, letting her know that he wanted to keep the car after all. Grace read the text message on April 9. Upon his return from Brisbane on April 10, Apari collected his post and read Graces letter. He still did not want to sell and returned the cheque to Grace.
