He was supposed to purchase a vehicle for me at an auction adn never provided the service or the car. We did not have a written contract because he was a "friend" of my uncle.

You can sue, but, if you can prove your case, the most you can recover is $5000 because there is a specific law that limits the amount which you can recover if you do not have something in writing.
It is called the Statute of Frauds.

The most and cheapest effective approach: Take it to small claims with the county where he resides. Let them coach you at the front counter about filing. You might have to do two separate claims. The filing is around $35 to $50 each.

"Friends" will do it to ya every time !!!! ---Did you give him cash? If so and no one witnessed it your probably screwed. Try taking him to small claims court or talk to a magistrate. Or, tell your uncle his "friend" owes you money. Good Luck !
