I may have missed a post, but what's scummy about this situation?

Just looked again at resale value on 2024s, and it's pretty high. If the buyout on the lease is considerably lower than what used cars are selling for, it could really incentivize someone to take over the lease, as your father has paid a significant amount into the purchase price.

Also, I don't believe there is an increased risk for dealing with an octogenarian.

Probably the best thing would be to discuss the matter with the dealer and try to strike a deal that's best for everyone.

Completely agree with the last part.
I don’t want to let a negative impression sit. Yes, if everyone acted in good faith please do the same. In the end we all answer to the mirror in the morning.
Maybe I personalized ‘don’t ##%%ing get me started’ too much from my experiences but they entered into a contract with dad. If dad can’t fulfill it that’s the other parties problem, not UCBs. Walking away is an option and no one should feel bad for it. I’d not suggest it’s the first option, but they don’t owe anything past trying to do the right thing.
