Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Indiana

Customer moved to different state and never paid on contracted car purchase

as my heading states, a customer purchased a car placing a down payment on the car and then moved to Illinois. The customer has advised me there is nothing i can do because the amount does not exceed $6,000.00 and anything I do in small claims is useless because the customer will not show up for court. Can you give me some insights on my options. This person has never made a payment on the contract, other than the downpayment.
