Active Safety System
Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) Type

A TPMS is an electronic system designed to monitor the air pressure inside the pneumatic tires on various types of vehicles. TPMS can be divided into two different types - direct and indirect. Direct TPMS employ pressure sensors on each wheel, either internal or external. The sensors physically measure the tire pressure in each tire and report it to the vehicle's instrument cluster or a corresponding monitor. Indirect TPMS does not use physical pressure sensors but measure air pressures by monitoring individual wheel rotational speeds and other signals available outside of the tire itself.

Testimonials from our customers

Report showed a car I was considering had a prior salvage title from a major accident, even though carfax listed it as clean. Messaged seller asking about it and they made shady excuses. Def avoided a scam thanks to badvin!
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.
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.
I buy rebuilt title cars at copart to fix and resell. was hoping BadVin reports wud have more detail on damage history to help me value cars before bidding, Carfax is better for that. but for clean title vehicles it seems pretty useful

Frequently asked questions
Saltwater damage, if documented, is specifically noted due to its corrosive impact on the 2012 CADILLAC vehicle's mechanical and electrical systems.
A salvage title generally indicates that the vehicle was declared a total loss by an insurance company due to severe damage from an accident, flood, or other causes, if such information is recorded.
Factors to consider when estimating the future resale value include the car's historical depreciation rate, current market trends, overall vehicle condition, and mileage.
Odometer history can show the progression of mileage and might highlight discrepancies such as rollbacks, aiding in fraud detection in the 2012 CADILLAC vehicle’s history, if accurate records are available.
The 'country of origin' in a VIN, indicated by the first one to three characters, tells you where the vehicle was built, which could influence parts availability and design standards.
To ensure the 2012 CADILLAC CTS meets environmental standards, look for emissions ratings and fuel economy data on the window sticker, which indicate compliance with environmental regulations.
A VIN decoder can uncover discrepancies such as mismatches in reported and actual vehicle specifications, including year, model, and equipment, which can indicate potential fraud or errors in listings.
The window sticker is important for new car buyers as it ensures transparency about the vehicle's origins, features, and costs, helping consumers make informed decisions.
