3. triple damages (for fraud)
4. the plaintiff's legal fees
5. punitive damages

Those awards are not going to happen. It's a simple breach of contract case. The plaintiff gets the amount of damages suffered as a result of the breach (here, the truck or its value) and the defendant pays the award and its own attorney fees.

Depends on the facts. Which neither of us have at this point. Like when did they decide they weren't going to pay off.

More interesting point - does the dealership have a cause of action against the golf course? Again, depends on the facts. But I'd rather represent the dealer than the golf course at this point.

Not a legal beagle here but I would hope that #4 (plaintiff legal fees) would be the responsibility of the defendant also as it was the defendant’s actions that caused the plaintiff to incur those legal fees.

If not that would explain the popularity of SLAPP legal actions.
