[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 1666622, member: 26302"]Seriously? Camaro is discussing about treating a senior citizen as an adult. Absent proof to the contrary, they should be given the rights and RESPONSIBILITIES of an adult. Anyone who is trying to say they have to be "protected" or whatever is effectively saying anyone over 60 should not be allowed to make their own decisions. If you say they cannot be held accountable for any purchase, then they also lose the ABILITY to purchase on their own at the same time. Should the lady have educated herself? Of course, but let's talk about another situation. Say the same lady walks onto a car lot, and instead of going online and finding dealer purchase prices of vehicles, etc walks up and pays sticker price for a new car. I will wager she just spent $6,000 more than I would have paid for that car. Is she still mentally incompetent or just a horrible shopper? Listen, I FULLY agree what this dealer was unethical, and would like the OP to try to help her as much as possible. However, absent information of a mental condition, I am assuming she is an ADULT who has the right and responsibility to make up her own mind about purchase decisions, including the duty to educate herself if she doesn't want to get swindled. To assume any adult 60 or over is incompetent to make business decision is insulting to say the least. I say shame on anyone who believes that.[/QUOTE]
