Testimonials from our customers
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.
I buy rebuilt title cars at copart to fix and resell. was hoping BadVin reports wud have more detail on damage history to help me value cars before bidding, Carfax is better for that. but for clean title vehicles it seems pretty useful
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.
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!
Frequently asked questions
Yes, the choice of vehicle color can impact the depreciation rate, with neutral colors typically being easier to sell and potentially holding their value better than more unconventional colors.
Some models may depreciate faster due to factors like lower demand, higher maintenance costs, or outdated technology compared to newer versions.
Damage severity, if reported, is classified as minor, moderate, or severe, and may provide insights into the extent of damage the 2021 TOYOTA vehicle has sustained.
The number of previous owners, if documented, may provide insights into how multiple ownerships might have influenced the 2021 TOYOTA vehicle’s condition and maintenance.
Total loss status, if documented, is reported along with the circumstances and damage type, critical for assessing whether the 2021 TOYOTA vehicle has been substantially compromised.
A VIN decoder is generally reliable for confirming the transmission type, as this information is encoded within the VIN by most manufacturers.
To verify that a VIN has not been tampered with, check for inconsistencies in the VIN's font, alignment, and location, and compare the VIN displayed in various parts of the vehicle with that on the official documents.
