The appropriate remedy in this case is for Sam to claim damages, which shall be the difference between the price that he agreed to pay for the car and the price that Joe eventually sold it for to the other customer. Specific performance, injunction, and rescission are not applicable in this case as the car has already been sold to someone else, and enforcing these remedies would be impractical or impossible. Therefore, Sam can only claim damages as compensation for the loss he has suffered due to Joe's breach of contract.
