The tense agreement in that clauses
Hello, everyone. I'm confused with the tense agreement. So, I made some sentences to contain several possiblities of the tense agreement. Would you take a look at them?
1.Yesterday, he decided that he would sell the car in a month.
2.Yesterday, he decided he will sell the car in a month.
3.Yesterday, he told me that he would sell the car in a month.
4.Yesterday, he told me that he will sell the car in a month.
5.Yesterday, he told me that he decided he would sell the car in a month.
6.Yesterday, he told me that he decided he will sell the car in a month.
Which is not acceptible?
Many thanks in advance.
