I know right? What made you think this was a good idea to put 5k? Who buys a new car when 80??
FWIW, plenty of 80-somethings still drive and sometimes need new cars. I would rather my father be driving a new car with safety features than the 20-year-old car he had before that.
He couldn’t drive a 5 yo car? The man is 80. He isn’t long for this world anyway. He will be pushing up daisies soon enough.
She probably just thought they would pay for the car and die and then she’d get it.
