Testimonials from our customers

I almost bought a 2019 Malibu that seemed like a great deal - low miles and price. But the badvin report showed it used to be a rental fleet vehicle, which the seller didn't disclose. Glad I found out before buying someone else's abused rental!
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.
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
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

Frequently asked questions
Yes, you can use the window sticker to check if a 1998 SUBARU FORESTER has certain safety features, as it includes details on safety equipment and any related safety package options.
Repossession records, if included, indicate if the 1998 SUBARU vehicle has been taken back by a lender due to payment defaults, which might affect its condition and value.
Advanced safety features can influence the resale value and slow the depreciation of vehicles by making them more attractive to safety-conscious buyers.
Some models may depreciate faster due to factors like lower demand, higher maintenance costs, or outdated technology compared to newer versions.
A vehicle history report provides past data and records but cannot assess the current physical condition of a vehicle, underscoring the need for an independent inspection before purchase.
The exterior and interior condition of vehicles significantly affects their depreciation, as well-maintained vehicles generally retain more value.
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.
