I figure somebody on this site knows who's selling this:

Vehicle does have Vermont plates, even though listed for sale in San Mateo.

The end of "The Vermont Loophole" - Hagerty Media

The Vermont DMV used to allow you to register a 15-year-old vehicle with only a bill of sale and without being a Vermont resident. No more.

Montana is still Montana. You form an LLC in Montana and title the car there but domiclie it and use it in another state.. Montana plates stay on the car. You (hopefully) dodge emissions requirements and taxes in the state you actually live in.

Vermont was used to "launder" titles. You titled the car in Vermont without having to live there or have insurance on the car, then quickly used the Vermont title to obtain a title in your home state. It enabled you to title a car that didn't have a title.

Not totally sure but when I hear BMW and San Mateo, I think 'Bimmer Bros' who is really just Evan. Looked at one of his cars years ago, waisted trip.

But if it already has a Vermont title it does not matter that they closed the loophole. You can transfer it to your own state I guess...

Won't get titled in CA without some trickery.

I did not like the wheel arches in any case. Sour grapes.

When I moved to Rhode Island and registered my coupe, they wouldn't even look at my Massachusetts title. All they wanted to see was the Massachusetts registration.
