Default Duplicate Title?

What does it mean when the Autocheck report tells me that a car has a duplicate title. I'm looking at a particular GS400 to purchase. Is this a method used to "wash" salvage titles?

Just read about this...
Duplicate title is when they use a VIN of a similar car to register it in another state. Now the question is the car you are looking at the original or the false car?

duplicate title can also mean, that the original is lost.

The title was an out-of-state title. No matter - I bought a different GS.

I'm in Henderson!!
