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.
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!
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 import used luxury cars from US auctions to resell in Russia. The vehicle history reports from badVIN are essential for avoiding problem cars. For a BMW I was bidding on, it uncovered a salvage title from flood damage that other reports missed! That alone pays for the service.

Frequently asked questions
Yes, the window sticker includes environmental ratings such as greenhouse gas scores and smog ratings, which reflect the vehicle's environmental impact.
Car depreciation is the decrease in value of a vehicle over time. It's a crucial factor to consider when calculating the total cost of vehicle ownership.
Our reports may track major service milestones such as brake rotor replacements, detailing when and how often they have occurred, if this information is recorded.
To maximize value, consider buying a vehicle that is a few years old, as it has already undergone significant depreciation but likely remains reliable.
While a VIN decoder can provide the model year that can suggest warranty status, verifying the actual warranty status usually requires direct contact with the manufacturer or dealer.
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.
Vehicle values are typically derived from leading sources and might indicate trade-in, retail, and other value ranges, providing a pricing baseline for the 1997 NISSAN MAXIMA, based on available data.
