Testimonials from our customers

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.
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 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!
Was shopping for a used Range Rover and found one that seemed suspiciously cheap. The badVIN report revealed it had been in a major front end collision, with photos showing the damage. Steered clear of that one and saved myself a ton of headaches!!

Frequently asked questions
Rebuild records, if available, show the extent of reconstruction after significant damage, important for assessing the current condition of the 1998 NISSAN MAXIMA.
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.
Our vehicle history reports may include records of repairs undertaken after accidents, detailing the nature of the damage and the types of repairs, if this information is available.
Market value is generally estimated based on the 1998 NISSAN vehicle’s history, condition, and comparable sales, helping to provide a guideline for buyers and sellers, though specific values can vary.
Lien status may indicate whether there are outstanding financial obligations like loans on the 1998 NISSAN vehicle, which must be settled before ownership can transfer, if such records exist.
New vehicles often depreciate quickly due to rapid advancements in technology and consumer preference for the latest features, which make older models less desirable.
