I read that the other day.

Most places won't sell to anyone mentally deficient or under the influence.

Not worth the trouble.

Looks like they are mad the dealership didn't realize his dementia before the doctors did?

That's what I'm thinking. Says he was diagnosed a few months after the purchase and doctor said "He is incapable of making any financial decisions and cannot drive." I doubt that is retroactive, so I don't think the family has any resource against the dealership.

Just seems like they're likely to get bad publicity, when they really did nothing wrong.

How would they know that? Sounds like the guy walked in off the street and bought an ATV. Sounds like they upsold him but that's what dealers do.
