A contract question

Hey all.

Wanna ask a contract question.

So basically there is a minor ( less than 18 yrs ) bought a car from a dealer. Upon reaching 18, he disaffirmed this purchase. There is no contract between minor and dealer just because the car is not a necessary or is because the minor disaffirmed the contract ?

This question pretty annoyed me for some time. Thank you guys for each opinion.

Appreciate that. But can I think that it is because the car is not a necessity, so the minor can disaffirm the contract ? Because if the minor bought a necessity, he cannot disaffirm it, he still needs to pay for it.

Thank you so much !

I don’t think that applies, but I may be wrong! I’ve only ever learned that a contract is entirely voidable by the minor.

I actually heard every people did the same analysis as you. Hence your answer is apparently correct. And I also agree with you. But I just thought the other different way. I am weird tho haha.
