Answer:

The sale of the car is canceled

Step-by-step explanation:

For two reasons I think this. Jack had already sent out a letter to jill stating that the car is no longer for sale. As the current owner of the vechile he has the right at any point in time to draw out of the deal up till the actual signing over of the car.
