Contracts are legally binding when it consists of an offer and acceptance of a legal good or conduct generally speaking. Doesn't have to be written by a lawyer, Craigslist or everyday transactions are legally binding as well. Special exceptions to mentally incapable individuals, kids, youth, elderly, insane, intoxicated people.
In this case, there was an
offer to sell the car (ad), they negotiated, with Prostrho giving her an offer and she
accepted. That is binding right there. When the lady said that Prostrho can't take the car blah blah blah... after the acceptance, she can't legally do that.
However, say Prostrho tells her I'll offer you $5k for the car and she says, I accept your offer on the condition of me buying a new car in two weeks. Prostrho agrees. That's a binding contract as well.
This example is a the lady rejecting Prostrho's offer and counter-offering with her own and if he accepts then it's a contract as well.
TLDR; Offer and acceptance = contract.
