Wisconsin car dealer sells $42K SUV to blind man, another to elderly woman with dementia
2 Investigators: Car Dealer Sells SUV To Blind Man
KENOSHA, Wis. (CBS) — An elderly, dying man was visited by a car dealer and ended up with a vehicle and a big loan. CBS 2?s Dave Savini investigated the family member and dealership involved in this deal.
Barb Tinker says a brand new GMC Terrain was part of a $42,000 scam perpetrated, with the help of a car dealership, on her elderly parents. Her 90-year-old mother Christen Thomsen suffers dementia and can barely walk. Thomsen’s 89-year-old, World War II veteran, husband Harold was legally blind, on morphine, and in hospice last summer when the couple was sold the vehicle. He died three weeks after the family says a Palmen Motors employee went to the couple’s home to get the dying man’s signature on a contract.
