Fraud, misrepresentation, forgery and sale of a dangerous vehicle.
Last year, I purchased a vehicle from Low Book Sales in Salt Lake City under the belief that it was a clean title, structurally sound car. I was told it had no frame issues and was sold it at full market value. It also came with a dealer warranty — so it was not an “as-is” sale. After the sale, I discovered the car had serious frame damage, including a tac-welded frame that would have failed a Utah state inspection. No disclosure of salvage or structural damage was ever made at the time of purchase. In reviewing the paperwork, I found multiple red flags, including: • Backdated documents created well after the sale. • A forged “Notice of Salvage” form (TC-814) with my signature and a date that precedes the actual document creation date (confirmed by PDF metadata). • Coercive sales tactics, including being pressured to sign documents with missing or misrepresented disclosures. • At least one signature on an official document was not mine and appears to be forged. When I confronted the dealership and presented proof, I was told they “didn’t do anything illegal” because they hadn’t “meant to send” me the fraudulent salvage disclosure — which they clearly created after the sale in an attempt to cover their tracks. To make matters worse, after refusing to help, their Chief Operating Officer viewed my LinkedIn profile, yet offered no communication or resolution. ⸻ Actions Taken: • Complaints have been submitted to: • Utah Division of Consumer Protection • Utah DMV Enforcement • Federal Trade Commission (FTC) • Better Business Bureau • A small claims lawsuit is being filed. • All documentation, inspection records, and forged paperwork have been archived. ⸻ Why This Matters: If this happened to me, it may have happened to others. I encourage anyone who purchased a car from Low Book Sales to review your paperwork carefully and speak up if something doesn’t look right. ⸻ Low Book Sales sold me a misrepresented vehicle, altered legal documents, and refused to take responsibility. This is not how a dealership should do business.
