Does this mistake of his change anything? Can I use this as a foothold against him?



Mistaking the make/model of a car doesn't significantly change anything unless it was something totally blatantly wrong -- like he wrote Peterbilt Tractor on the ticket, and even that probably wouldn't change too much because the ticket is against you as a person, not the car. Things like parking tickets are much easier to dispute based on mistakes with the make/model of a car as long as they're significantly wrong.

You can bring it up, but the judge will simply ask if you were the one that received the ticket; and of course it would be wise to be truthful to him.

As a first offense, unless the rules are different for those with Class D's, you should be able to take defensive driving and not have to worry about your insurance going up as long as you don't get another ticket in the next few months.
