If the man drove himself to the dealership to make the purchase and pick it up, then it would be even harder for the family to prove they knowingly took advantage of someone with a lack of mental capacity to make the purchase.

quote:

The family argues Anthony Corona was unfit then and now they're stuck with a huge bill.


According to the article, he put $10k down and financed the rest. If the monthly bill is the issue, family should just put it up for sale. They'll lose a few grand compared to the cost to buy it new, but they should get more than enough to cover paying off the loan balance and have some left money over.



quote:

"There's nothing hunting about this," said Alamirie. "I'm like, why did you get them to sell you that. He said, 'Well, they were saying it's a good deal and they gave me tires and a windshield and a wench.'"

I doubt that is what they have to prove. If he lacked capacity to enter a contract, the dealership's knowledge is likely immaterial and the contract would be void or voidable in many jurisdictions. Not sure the law in this jurisdiction.
