Lenient Title states

And as far as why the owner is "surprised" Carfax is showing a salvaged
title: some states will issue new, non-salvage titles based upon a visual
inspection, mechanic appraisal, or even for no reason at all.  A few years
back, there was a news article on car dealerships "washing" titles by
registering in these state, then bringing the car back to their state to
sell.  I've forgotten which states do this, unfortunately.  The car may have
been trashed before the current owner bought it.

I believe Alabama is one of these states, maybe Michigan too but I'm not sure
on that. Is there a way to go to the NJ DMV and find out what "salvaged" the
Milano? Or perhaps find the owner under whom the car was "salvaged" to ask?
