Given enough owners, time, and DMV's, this seems to occur a bunch...

That happens all the time but it's hit or miss. There was a chance that my last salvage titled car would come back as a clean title. But no such luck. They told me the older the car the more likely it is to come back as clean. I guess it all depends on the person entering the information into the computer.
I did have one car from Florida that was totaled. Seemed to be a regular title but with a salvage notation. Didn't know what the process was in that state.
All of this is very state specific. Oregon and Washington vary in how they inspect vehicles. State patrol must inspect in Washington, DMV'S inspects in Oregon. Oregon is a lot easier than Washington.
