Oh, how was he damaged? Well, what if he had planned to put a deposit on a different car, but once he bid on this one he couldn't in good faith negotiate on another vehicle since he had every intention of following through with this purchase? Not to mention whatever time he has spent attempting to get this honored?

those are not recoverable damages...he lost nothing, you can't sue for lost opportunity...plus there are other cars out there, this was not the last...
contracts can and are voided if a mistake was made in negotiating them...
his time is no different than a lawyers, can't be recovered, even if he spent time and missed work, that his choice...
I'm involved in a lot of contract law...I'm going to check the law...BOTH parties may have a cancellation period after inking a contract...
