Testimonials from our customers

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.
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!
I always rely on badvin to check out any used car before I buy. It gives such a complete history, including past accidents, service records, recalls and much more. Feel so much more confident as a used car shopper having this info.
As a broke college kid I almost settled for a sketchy 2005 Altima cuz it was cheap. but splurged on the report from badvin 1st. soooo glad I did - turned out it had been totalled and rebuilt. spending a little saved me from wasting $1000s!

Frequently asked questions
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.
Safety ratings, if available, provide information from crash tests and safety evaluations, which can help assess the 1997 GEO vehicle's protection level in accidents.
Title history from NMVTIS may provide current and historical state DMV title data, offering insights into the 1997 GEO vehicle’s title status over time, depending on data completeness.
Hail damage, if noted, is detailed with specifics on the impact to the body and glass, which can affect the aesthetic and structural integrity of the 1997 GEO.
VIN decoding does not directly reveal maintenance history; however, it can identify the vehicle model and year, which you can use to access maintenance records through service databases with the VIN.
Keeping your vehicle for about three to five years can optimize its resale value, balancing depreciation with usage and maintenance costs.
To possibly get a vehicle history report by VIN, you can enter the VIN on our website's search tool; the availability and detail of the report will depend on the data accessible for that specific VIN.
To maximize value, consider buying a vehicle that is a few years old, as it has already undergone significant depreciation but likely remains reliable.
