A man orally agreed to sell his car to a woman for $5,000. Under the terms of the agreement, the woman would make a down payment of $1,000, and then monthly payments of $200 for 20 months. The parties agreed that the woman could make larger monthly payments to pay off the debt on the car earlier if she wanted to. The woman took immediate possession of the car under the terms of the contract. After the woman took possession of the car, she made significant improvements to it, repainting it and repairing several dents in the body. Does the contract for the sale of the car fall within the Statute of Frauds?

a. Yes, because it is a contract for the sale of goods for $500 or more.
b. Yes, because the contract is for more than one year.
c. No, because the woman made significant repairs to the car.
d. No, because the woman already took possession of the car.
