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

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!

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!

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
Factors to consider when estimating the future resale value include the car's historical depreciation rate, current market trends, overall vehicle condition, and mileage.
The economic climate can significantly affect the depreciation of vehicles, with higher demand and better economic conditions typically slowing depreciation rates.
The information in a vehicle history report, such as past accidents, salvage titles, and theft, may significantly affect the car's resale value, depending on what is documented.
Accident reports might detail the occurrence, damage severity, and repairs, offering insights into the operational history of the 1998 SUBARU, if such data is documented.
If the 1998 SUBARU was used as a taxi, this information may be noted in the vehicle history report, including the duration and any relevant details affecting its wear and tear, if reported.
On average, a new car can depreciate by approximately 23% after the first year, reflecting the premium paid for new technology and immediate depreciation once it's considered used.
Technology plays a significant role in the depreciation of vehicles, as models with outdated tech depreciate faster due to lower consumer demand for older features.
