.You made a mistake. Eat it. A reputable dealer with a future in the business would first of all have a lawyer on retainer, as it is business suicide not to (the internet is NOT a substitute). And real dealers do not resolve disputes with text messages or act without their lawyers. Consider yourself lucky that you only lost $2000. Redo your operation so you (1) have a lawyer on retainer, (2) stop doing business with text messages, and (3) set up a review process in house to review contracts and quotes before you give them to customers. Otherwise this will happen over and over, and you'll one day hit a legal problem more expensive than this one. BTW, apologize profusely to the customer before he trashes your business reputation in reviews - that will cost you morethan $2000.
