Dealership Reportedly Sells Honda Fit To Man With Dementia For $27,000

loooooool

 

Why is a guy with dimentia driving?

 

 

Complete Creeps....dementia is a horrible disease. To take advantage of anyone like this is the lowest of low. I don't find any humor in taking advantage of anyone especially a sick elderly person and a veteran. I do know what comes around goes around...FWIW....

 

Can't blame the dealer! Do you expect the dealer to have a staff to make sure all their customers are fit to make good decisions? It's up to people's families to do that. This guy's family let him down. Being a veteran has nothing to do with it. You seem to be saying taking advantage of a non veteran is not as bad as taking advantage of a veteran. I don't see this logic and don't know how a dealer can determine who is or is not a veteran. Also, I don't see how "elderly" has anything to do with it. If the dealer had refused to sell the car because the guy was old and maybe senile, the customer could sue for age discrimination and would win. Early phases of senility are hard even for experts to diagnose. i don't want car dealers to make that decision. That's up to families and their doctors.

 

Went through that with my parents. People with early dementia can still have a valid license. It's not too hard to pass the renewal test. Eventually they get lost on simple trips or get in a minor accident. Then it is up to the family to stop them from driving. It's easy for salespeople to talk them into anything. You have to control their bank account access and regularly ask if anybody has been trying to sell them anything.
