Testimonials from our customers

Was about to buy a used 2016 Camry but decided to get the badvin report first. Turns out the car had been in a serious crash and was declared a total loss by insurance, even tho carfax showed it as clean! Dodged a bullet on that one. ty badvin
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.
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.
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!

Frequently asked questions
Economic downturns can lead to decreased demand and lower resale values for vehicles, as buyers may defer purchasing vehicles or opt for less expensive alternatives.
Dismantled status, if noted, shows the vehicle has been taken apart for parts or salvage, significantly impacting the 1997 GEO's value and functionality.
New vehicles often depreciate quickly due to rapid advancements in technology and consumer preference for the latest features, which make older models less desirable.
A flood or lemon title, if reported, indicates significant past issues, which are detailed in our reports to inform potential buyers of the risks associated with such vehicles.
The 'country of origin' in a VIN, indicated by the first one to three characters, tells you where the vehicle was built, which could influence parts availability and design standards.
A hazardous label, if applied, indicates significant safety risks, potentially from accidents or chemical exposure, critical for the safety evaluation of the 1997 GEO.
Flood damage, if reported, can compromise key systems and reduce the 1997 GEO PRIZM's reliability and value, detailed in the report for potential buyers.
To ensure the 1997 GEO PRIZM meets environmental standards, look for emissions ratings and fuel economy data on the window sticker, which indicate compliance with environmental regulations.
