Other ways around this include wiggle room within the states that define brands uniquely. No idea until I started researching this car.

Yeah I heard about this. Basically you can buy a salvage car, register it in state where there is no branded title, and bingo....clean title. But you have to be a fool not to look in Carfax or Autocheck

man reading the first line of that ebay sale would have been a HUGE red flag to me:

Hi! My name is Abrar Agad. I’m a 21-year-old car enthusiast.

Concord Auto Brokers LLC is a Georgia Domestic Limited-Liability Company filed on September 1, 2015 . The company's filing status is listed as Active/Owes Current Year Ar and its File Number is 15086957.
The Registered Agent on file for this company is Abrar Agad and is located at 1808 Birch Briar Bend, Lawrenceville, GA 30043. The company's principal address is 1808 Birch Briar Bend, Lawrenceville, GA 30043.

not that there is anything inherently wrong with a 21 year old Car Broker CEO, but it would have sent some serious red flags up to me, seeing as he claims to have graduated from the University of Georgia in 2016 having attended from 2012 - 2016, but it doesn't seem that he graduated from High School until 2014, and seems to have worked as a "Transport Manager" and a Real Estate Agent while he was 16-17 years old based on basic math .

*edit* seems he put his FB account to private after this was posted, within a few minutes actually,, interesting.
