That's why we don't Pre-Qualify anyone. Age doesn't equate income or ability to purchase.
As long as you are of legal age to buy, I'll sell you a car.
But this Pre-Qulaifying works the other way also.
A story from when I started:
A very, very old customer walks in the door and asks about a Subaru. One of our "lead" guys refuses to sell him a car due to his age and inability to walk, talk, etc..
Our Senior guy sells him the car and doesn't have a problem with it.
A few months later the car comes back. Every single body panel was dented, scratched or broken in some way. All rims were curbed.
The car only had a few hundred miles on it.
Turns out the guy had a stroke and his attorney was trying to sell the car back to us.
