Yes, fat-fingering sounds likely.

I'm not sure what clyde is asking, exactly--is the question "does the dealer think the car has 10K more miles than it does and the price is therefore too low, and should I mention it?"

I would think that the pain in the ass of having an inaccurate Carfax will be worth a lot more than whatever discount you get. I would note to them that as part of the transaction you want them to make sure that the Carfax is corrected. If they come back and say "we need to charge more for the car," I'd remind them of what the advertised price is and try and get them to honor it.

Unless it was a really unique car, if they were a pain in the ass about any of that I'd walk, because who has the time for this shit.
