Who sells a new car to a 90 year old? Are car dealers that greedy?
Greed? I hope you’re kidding. If not, you think the dealership is within their rights to deny a sale based on someone’s age? “Sorry, old dude, you’ll be dead soon so what do you want that nice new car for? We’ve got a rusty old Subaru that’s more your speed.” ???
What a moronic question?
Fools and their money.
Do other states require a repeat driving test after a certain age? Not a crazy idea?
