After a bad experience buying a used car that turned out to have major issues, I now use Bad VIN to thoroughly check every vehicle i consider. It costs a bit more than other services but the detailed records and photos of past sales are wotrh it for the added peace of mind.

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!
Mia Johnson

As a used car dealer, I rely on badvin.org for checking every vehicle I'm considering purchasing at auction. The comprehensive reports give me peace of mind and help me avoid problem cars. Photos of past sales have saved me from overpaying many times. Worth every penny!

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.

Frequently asked questions
You can track the depreciation of your car by monitoring market trends, checking online valuation tools, and staying informed about new model releases.
A VIN decoder is generally reliable for confirming the transmission type, as this information is encoded within the VIN by most manufacturers.
The report may include a history of odometer readings recorded during sales, services, or inspections, helping you verify the 1998 SUBARU LEGACY's actual mileage, if records are accessible.
The expected depreciation of a vehicle after three years can vary, but generally, cars lose a significant portion of their value within the first few years.
An unrepaired vehicle status may mean there are outstanding repairs that have not been made, which might involve safety risks or future expenses, if reported.
Total loss status, if documented, is reported along with the circumstances and damage type, critical for assessing whether the 1998 SUBARU vehicle has been substantially compromised.
Water damage, if documented, is detailed with information on the extent and impact, affecting the 1998 SUBARU's electrical systems, engine, and overall functionality.
Most VIN decoders do not provide color information as this is not typically encoded in the VIN; color information is usually obtained from vehicle registration documents or manufacturer records.
Recall information may reveal if the vehicle has had any manufacturer defects that needed correction, impacting its safety and market value, depending on the completeness of recall data.
