In 40 years of business and over 20,000 transactions, typographical errors are extremely common. The car is titled to its correct vin and this critical information is accurate.\r\nThis minor issue can be corrected to reflect the specific model with the local DMV with a \u201ccertificate of fact\u201d. However, depending on the rules and regulations in your jurisdiction they may require a vehicle inspection.
