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.
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 $$
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!
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.

Frequently asked questions
VIN decoding does not directly reveal maintenance history; however, it can identify the vehicle model and year, which you can use to access maintenance records through service databases with the VIN.
Strategies to reduce the rate of depreciation include regular maintenance, keeping mileage low, avoiding significant modifications, and keeping up with all necessary repairs.
A 'clean title' generally indicates that the vehicle has not been significantly damaged in the past and has no history of major incidents such as salvage or theft, if such information is documented.
The parts content information on a window sticker shows the percentage of vehicle components sourced from specific countries, important for consumers interested in the origin of their vehicle's parts.
Water damage, if documented, is detailed with information on the extent and impact, affecting the 1997 FORD's electrical systems, engine, and overall functionality.
Market value is generally estimated based on the 1997 FORD vehicle’s history, condition, and comparable sales, helping to provide a guideline for buyers and sellers, though specific values can vary.
To possibly get a vehicle history report by VIN, you can enter the VIN on our website's search tool; the availability and detail of the report will depend on the data accessible for that specific VIN.
You can use a Monroney label to compare different 1997 FORD models by reviewing their features, fuel economy, safety equipment, and pricing directly on the sticker.
