By now, you know what we think of the Nissan Murano with no roof, so we’re not going to mention ever again that it looks like Barbie’s car.
And obviously when we hard somebody with a mental condition bought one, we realized there was a story for us.

According to Press Democrat, car dealer North Bay Nissan sold a brand new Murano CrossCabriolet to one Ed Dowdall for the (ridiculous) sum of $62,130. But mister Dowdall actually suffers from Lewy Body Dementia and lives in a care facility.

The head of the dealership says Dowdall was a returning customer who took a full month to make the buying decision, and inclined to believe him, as making a brash decision is not exactly uncommon these days.

However, to forgo the negative press from the incident, the owner of North Bay Nissan has decided to reach an agreement where the sale is nullified.

But get this: there are claims that the buyer was on the phone with his ex wife, sounding excited about the car. Meanwhile, the separated wife and her brother in law were at the Petaluma Police Department to report that Ed attempted to kill Amy the night before.

Must be one heck of a nightmare!

Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
