Testimonials from our customers
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.
Levi Johnson
verified on Trustpilot
Purchased a badvin report before buying a used Lexus RX 350. It revealed a minor accident the seller hadn't mentioned. I still bought the car but used the info to negotiate a lower price. Well worth the cost for the leverage it gave me!
Aiden Patel
verified on Trustpilot
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.
Alexander Hunt
verified on Trustpilot
I almost bought a 2019 Malibu that seemed like a great deal - low miles and price. But the badvin report showed it used to be a rental fleet vehicle, which the seller didn't disclose. Glad I found out before buying someone else's abused rental!

Frequently asked questions
Yes, the fuel type of a vehicle is listed on the window sticker, providing important information for buyers about whether the car operates on gasoline, diesel, electricity, or hybrid technology.
A vehicle history report provides past data and records but cannot assess the current physical condition of a vehicle, underscoring the need for an independent inspection before purchase.
The information in a vehicle history report, such as past accidents, salvage titles, and theft, may significantly affect the car's resale value, depending on what is documented.
Emission inspection status may show whether the 1997 GMC vehicle has passed required state emissions testing, which is essential for registration in many areas, if such inspections have been documented.
Our reports may include information on any past recalls issued for 1997 GMC vehicles, detailing the nature of the recall and whether it was addressed, if data is available.
Yes, the window sticker includes environmental ratings such as greenhouse gas scores and smog ratings, which reflect the vehicle's environmental impact.
Lien status may indicate that a financial claim, such as a loan, is still pending on the 1997 GMC vehicle, which must be cleared before ownership is transferred, if such information is available.
To minimize depreciation costs, consider purchasing a model known for retaining its value or opting for a slightly used vehicle that has already undergone initial depreciation.
