    Default Corrected title?

    Is this a huge red flag when buying a vehicle? Does this mean it was previously a salvage vehicle? Vehicle looks good in pictures and Autocheck looks otherwise fine.

    Pic's are deceiving...
    If I recall correctly, DBK had an issue with a Ford GT and corrected title.
    I think it means they screwed something up and went back and fixed it, so it's entirely up to you.
    I'd personally go check out the car, or have someone you trust go inspect it so you don't end up with a POS that has cardboard floors, or some other ridiculous thing that isn't visible by photo.
    I'm no expert though and I have no clue exactly what it means.

    from my experience, the couple times I've seen it, they had the VIN incorrectly entered on one, and the other, I had to get the "over 10K GVWR" changed on a 89 1/2 ton chevy truck(v6 manual trans, and it was titled as over 10K GVWR, was way cheaper to register once they corrected that)

    it can also be a mileage error correction, misspelled name, etc.

    you may be able to find out from the SOS what the error correction was

    Yeah the vehicle is in Ohio so debating on having 3rd party inspector go look before I go. It's in Cincinnati I believe and I'm in TC so a bit of a drive lol.

    It's a decent deal now but my main worry is about when I need to resell it, assuming it's just a mistake on the state's part.

    Weird, Carfax makes it sound like much less of a deal than Autocheck. Makes me feel better that it was sold CPO afterward though.

    The only weird thing I see is that between 9/14 and and 8/15 only 600 miles was put on the truck. That's when it shows the title correction.

    Weird. I wonder if it was being privately reassembled from a bad accident during that time...
