re: Elderly man spends 20k on ATV; family upset with dealer

A man with alzheimer's should never get on an ATV. Even if it is early in the process, he could easily kill himself.
My father has this disease, it's early on, he will never drive again. It is a terrible affliction.
I also find it difficult to believe that the dealership couldn't tell something was wrong. If he has been diagnosed already, it should be pretty clear that the man has dementia
ETA: That is a bit misleading, I thought he was already diagnosed. Dude still shouldn't be driving around on one of those things though

Why? My 85 year old grandpa had a rzr 4 seater he loved. Drove it until he was 88 or so.
Was easier for him to drive through the woods than his 4wheeler and he could ride the great grandkids.

Yea, I'm going to need to see that credit app he filled out.
But if the dealer fought me, I would put it for sale right next to them for 3 grand cheaper.
Was it even driven?
