Alex, a 25-year-old banker, joined his friends at a "pub-hopping" trip that had participants visiting six bars in a two hour span of time. Between the fifth and final pub stop, a highly intoxicated Alex stopped to use the bathroom at a local luxury car dealer, who was holding a special evening sales event. Seeing all the cars and thinking he was signing up for training as a race car driver, Alex mistakenly signed a contract to purchase the $188,425 emerald-green Ferrari displayed in the showroom. The next day, a sober Alex found the contract paperwork at the foot of his bed, and with no memory of the previous evening, quickly headed to the dealership. As he began to explain to the sales manager Janine about the drunken purchase mistake, he changed his mind, and decided to keep the car. Manager Janine, however, took the contract copy from Alex and ripped it up, saying "You're not responsible enough to own this car." Does Alex keep the Ferrari?

Answer:

Alex can keep his Ferrari.

Step-by-step explanation:

If Alex wants to buy the Ferrari and is able to buy the it, he can do it. If Janine refuses to sell Alex his Ferrari he can sue her and the dealership for breaching the contract. There is no reason for them to not perform their side of the contract which includes selling the car to Alex. All Alex needs to do now if perform his side of the contract and pay for the car, if he can.
