Really awful article about a young man with PDD-NOS who was rooked buying a used car; the dealer won't let his family return it, though a previous dealer had had the compassion to do so. Disgusting. The Newsday article notes that this particular dealership has a bad rating from the BBB.

Edward Reyer, general manager of Hustedt, said Beaudoin seemed more intent
on getting the price lowered than on reversing the deal. And he said the
price had nothing to do with Sean's condition."Anybody can be overcharged,"
Reyer said. "Forget about autism. If you come in here and you like a car and
you're given a price -- no matter how much it's marked up -- and you accept
a price, you're accepting the price, no matter who you are."

What a slime. Everyone has an equal right to be swindled? This is progress? Would that be true if he were dealing with a child? I realize the slope gets slipperier when we're talking about adults who don't have diminished cognitive capacity, but honestly.

Some people, regardless of their capacities, have ethics, and some people, regardless of their capacities, do not. I'm glad they put this guy's name in the paper.
