How long ago did he purchase the vehicle? From what I know based on my area, there are no "cool down" laws for auto dealerships. Which sucks because that's one of the industries that use the most high pressure sales tactics. How elderly is he? The reason I ask is because at this point, if he can't afford the monthly payments, it may be wise to just return the car as a voluntary repossession. It will negatively affect his credit, but it will free up his finances. He also has a better chance of negotiating a debt buy out from the finance company since they won't be taking a huge loss on the resale. If that's the case, then it wouldn't affect his credit too bad.
You would want to contact a consumer advocacy group, not so much an attorney. They'll have attorneys working for them. I would also call the dealership and explain to the management what happened and see if they can work something out.
