I thought I said this? Anyway, in a nutshell, (as a buyer) all corners of this (proverbial) box should be covered. Not everyone deals specifically with 'State Farm' and although the car can be registered in any state (as you point out as factual), I suggest there may be a few more hoops a potential owner has to jump through to get it done. I also believe I remember (from another post maybe) that this hoop jumping may have an additional cost associated in getting the registration validated in states that do have any additional requirements on their books (laws). I believe the general term is called 'Title Branding', with further breakdowns linking why said title is 'branded'. I would not buy a vehicle at a premium price if the title was branded for any reason. In my opinion its value is diminished by its history. Good luck with the sale!
