Testimonials from our customers

As a car dealer importing vehicles from the US to Mexico, I rely on badvin for comprehensive history reports before bidding at auctions. Their info has helped me avoid several salvage vehicles and is more thorough than carfax. A must-have service!
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.
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
The average depreciation rate for vehicles over five years can vary, but many models experience a significant portion of their depreciation within the first few years of ownership.
The best time of year to sell your car to minimize depreciation might be just before the release of a new model, when demand for used models could be higher.
Flood damage, if reported, can compromise key systems and reduce the 2003 MERCURY SABLE's reliability and value, detailed in the report for potential buyers.
Understanding depreciation is important for car owners to manage financial expectations and make informed decisions about selling or trading in their vehicles at the right time.
A Monroney label, commonly known as a window sticker, provides detailed information about a vehicle's specifications, features, and pricing when new.
A hazardous label, if applied, indicates significant safety risks, potentially from accidents or chemical exposure, critical for the safety evaluation of the 2003 MERCURY.
