I recently purchased a car from a private party sale. The title has an extra "1" in it, it should have read 88XXX vs 188XXX. I am wondering what is the best way to go about rectifying this? My biggest concern is if this will affect the Carfax at all.

I did go to the DMV today, they are not required to enter the mileage (over 10 year old car) so the mileage will stay incorrect when I receive the new title. The lady recommended that I do not sign the front, and once I get the title in my name then I dispute it.

Has anyone had this issue before? Carfax, records and all prove that it was a fat-finger mistake. Any advice appreciated!
