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!
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!
I import used luxury cars from US auctions to resell in Russia. The vehicle history reports from badVIN are essential for avoiding problem cars. For a BMW I was bidding on, it uncovered a salvage title from flood damage that other reports missed! That alone pays for the service.
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.

Frequently asked questions

New vehicles often depreciate quickly due to rapid advancements in technology and consumer preference for the latest features, which make older models less desirable.
The vehicle history report may include a section on theft history, showing if the vehicle was ever reported stolen, depending on the records available.
Title brands such as Junk, Salvage, or Rebuilt might reveal critical past issues with the 1997 GEO vehicle, affecting its safety, legality, and market value, if such brands are recorded.
Depreciation, which reflects the decline in a 1997 GEO vehicle's value over time due to factors like age, mileage, and condition, may directly impact its resale value, based on recorded information.
The 9th character in a VIN is the check digit, which is used to verify the authenticity of the VIN itself through a specific calculation.
Yes, a VIN decoder can help identify if a 1997 GEO PRIZM was previously stolen by accessing a database that records theft and recovery history.
To maximize value, consider buying a vehicle that is a few years old, as it has already undergone significant depreciation but likely remains reliable.
