I've tried many vehicle reports but badvin's is by far the most comprehensive. It shows accident photos, past sales, repairs and so much more. I won't buy a car now without getting a report first. It's a must-have.

After a bad experience buying a used car that turned out to have major issues, I now use Bad VIN to thoroughly check every vehicle i consider. It costs a bit more than other services but the detailed records and photos of past sales are wotrh it for the added peace of mind.

Was about to buy a used 2016 Camry but decided to get the badvin report first. Turns out the car had been in a serious crash and was declared a total loss by insurance, even tho carfax showed it as clean! Dodged a bullet on that one. ty badvin

Frequently asked questions
Mileage verification may confirm the 1998 FORD TAURUS's odometer reading, helping to check for fraud or tampering which can affect its value and performance, if data is accurate and complete.
A used car might not have a window sticker because it is only legally required on new vehicles; once the vehicle is sold initially, the label might be removed or lost.
To find the correct VIN, check multiple locations where it is typically displayed, such as the dashboard, driver's door jamb, and vehicle registration documents, ensuring all instances match exactly.
Our reports may include information on any past recalls issued for 1998 FORD vehicles, detailing the nature of the recall and whether it was addressed, if data is available.
You can educate yourself about reading and understanding window stickers by researching online resources, asking questions at dealerships, or consulting automotive buying guides that explain the elements of the label.
Information on structural damage, including the extent and location of the damage, may be detailed in our vehicle history reports for 1998 FORD vehicles, if available.
