Testimonials from our customers
I almost bought a used Honda but luckily checked the BadVin report first. Turned out it had a salvage title from flood damage that the seller didn't disclose. Phew, dodged a huge issue!
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!
Can't believe what badvin found on a used 2012 chevy silverado I almost bought - odometer had been rolled back 50k miles according to the mileage history! Carfax didnt show nething bout that. So glad I checked here first b4 handing over my hard earned $$
Was shopping for a used Range Rover and found one that seemed suspiciously cheap. The badVIN report revealed it had been in a major front end collision, with photos showing the damage. Steered clear of that one and saved myself a ton of headaches!!

Frequently asked questions
Market value is generally estimated based on the 2017 FORD vehicle’s history, condition, and comparable sales, helping to provide a guideline for buyers and sellers, though specific values can vary.
A VIN decoder translates the 17-character Vehicle Identification Number into understandable information about the vehicle's specifications and history.
VIN decoding assists in insurance processes by providing accurate vehicle identification, which is crucial for policy creation, risk assessment, and claim processing.
A potential buyer can use a VIN decoder to verify the features of a used car by confirming the model, trim level, and installed options, ensuring the features match those advertised.
While a VIN decoder generally does not provide dealership information, it can tell you the region where the vehicle was originally sold.
To maximize value, consider buying a vehicle that is a few years old, as it has already undergone significant depreciation but likely remains reliable.
