Testimonials from our customers

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!
BadVin's vehicle history report is a must-have before buying any used vehicle. It's saved me from a few lemons over the years - cars that looked great on the surface but had hidden issues like accidents or title problems. Well worth the price.
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!
Bad Vin's vehicle history report showed that the 2018 Audi A4 I was about to buy had been in a major accident that was not disclosed by the seller. The severity analysis helped me avoid a bad purchase. Great service!

Frequently asked questions
High mileage typically accelerates the depreciation of a vehicle, as it may indicate increased wear and tear and potential future repairs.
Car depreciation is the decrease in value of a vehicle over time. It's a crucial factor to consider when calculating the total cost of vehicle ownership.
Our reports may include photos from previous sales, offering a visual history that helps assess the 1997 LINCOLN vehicle’s condition over time, if such photos are available.
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.
Significant damage from flood, fire, or hail may severely affect a 1997 LINCOLN vehicle's structure and mechanics, potentially resulting in a salvage title, depending on the extent of damage reported.
To verify that a VIN has not been tampered with, check for inconsistencies in the VIN's font, alignment, and location, and compare the VIN displayed in various parts of the vehicle with that on the official documents.
Yes, the choice of vehicle color can impact the depreciation rate, with neutral colors typically being easier to sell and potentially holding their value better than more unconventional colors.
Documentation, if available, includes details of theft and vandalism incidents, showing the extent of damage and any recovery actions taken for the 1997 LINCOLN vehicle.
