Don't need to be in an accident to get a salvage title. The car could have been scrapped to a Salvage yard - then purchased by someone as a donor car. The salvage yard will issue a salvage title as they are not a used/new car dealer. That rule is consistent through much of the US.
Like many of the older MB we see in the yards. These cars blow a motor and are beyond the owners resources to invest $8 -10K to repower. The bodies and interiors are sometimes great and are used as a donor.
Flood cars - many cars in this area were salvaged because they were exposed to flood waters. Quite a few of these vehicles did not have any interior water damage but were exposed to "contaminated water". Look and see where the salvage title was issued.
