Testimonials from our customers

As a first time used car buyer, I was nervous about getting ripped off. The vehicle report from badvin gave me so much more confidence - it confirmed the car had a clean history and the mileage lined up. Such a relief to have that peace of mind.
Ich hätte fast einen 2017 Mercedes-Benz C300 gekauft, bis der Bad Vin-Bericht zeigte, dass er als durch Überschwemmung beschädigt gemeldet wurde. Die detaillierten Schadensaufzeichnungen haben mich vor einem großen Fehler bewahrt!
I've tried a bunch of different vehicle history reports over the years and badvin.org has been the most comprehensive by far. Stuff like service records, ownership history, lien and repo info that I haven't found elsewhere. Def go-to resource when shopping for used vehicles now.
As a used car dealer, I rely on badvin.org for checking every vehicle I'm considering purchasing at auction. The comprehensive reports give me peace of mind and help me avoid problem cars. Photos of past sales have saved me from overpaying many times. Worth every penny!

Our reports may indicate if the 1996 FORD served as a police vehicle, which involves rigorous usage patterns that are important for potential buyers to know, if such data is available.
Refurbished status, if recorded, is detailed with information on parts replaced and upgrades made, affecting the resale value and reliability of the 1996 FORD.

Leasing history, if included, may detail the duration and terms under which the 1996 FORD CONTOUR was leased, which can influence its maintenance and condition, depending on the data provided.
