Urgent Help Needed: Car Dealership Offered Grocery Store Gift Card To Grandfather; He Came Home With A Brand New Car

Arizona, USA

Tl;dr:

Grandfather went to a car dealership today for a grocery store gift card promo and came home with an unplanned, new, 2025 car. They want him to come back into the car dealership tomorrow. I need to know what to say to get them to walk that back because grandfather is not fit or responsible enough to make a decision like that.

Original Post:

My grandfather got a promo in the mail from the car dealership he leased his car from that said they were offering grocery store gift cards.

Today he went to pick up the gift card and came back home with a brand new car.

We asked him how this happened and he is unable to tell us quite how he got from ‘grocery store gift card’ to ‘canceling his lease’ to ‘bringing a 2025 car home.’

He’s not in the best health, shouldn’t be making big decisions, and isn’t the person in charge of his own finances.

When we asked him how the car dealership checked his credit or verified he could make the payments, he said they didn’t need any of his information and that he just had to sign papers. Then they gave him his contract on a USB drive. He doesn’t have a computer or even a smartphone; he doesn’t know how to use a USB drive.

The car dealership wants him to come in tomorrow to pick up his paper contract.

Me and my family members intend to take him back tomorrow to return the new car and reinstate his old leased car

Relevant points: - His previous leased vehicle was almost at the end of his contract and he would have been able to buy it out - This new 2025 car now has a $400+ monthly payment for SEVEN years! - He didn’t even have access to any banking or personal info that would allow him to qualify for a purchase like this

What do I need to know before going in tomorrow and making them fix this? What information or topics do I need to learn before tomorrow to go in there and get these fuckers to rollback this situation? The new car purchase AND the lease-end contract.

From my research so far, this seems fairly in line with “elder financial abuse,” deceptive, predatory, and misleading. Not to mention the grocery store gift car lure. They think someone who needs a grocery store gift card can pay a $400+ loan? No way. Predatory as fuck.
