This contract is unenforceable, as it is not a bargained for exchange. In order to have a valid contract, you need a bargained for exchange. This means that you need an offer on the part of the offeror (person giving the offer) and an acceptance on the part of the offeree (person whom the offer is directed). Here, you have an offer from Bryan to Jane to give her money to buy a new car based on the logic that she doesn't have a cell phone. However, there is no information given regarding Jane's acceptance.
