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.
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!!
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!
Purchased a badvin report before buying a used Lexus RX 350. It revealed a minor accident the seller hadn't mentioned. I still bought the car but used the info to negotiate a lower price. Well worth the cost for the leverage it gave me!

Frequently asked questions
VIN decoding can prevent fraud in the sale of 1997 LEXUS ES300 vehicles by ensuring the vehicle's details match those recorded officially, thus confirming its identity and legality.
The parts content information on a window sticker shows the percentage of vehicle components sourced from specific countries, important for consumers interested in the origin of their vehicle's parts.
To maximize value, consider buying a vehicle that is a few years old, as it has already undergone significant depreciation but likely remains reliable.
To ensure the 1997 LEXUS ES300 meets environmental standards, look for emissions ratings and fuel economy data on the window sticker, which indicate compliance with environmental regulations.
A VIN decoder can reveal engine details such as the engine size, configuration, and fuel type, which are encoded in specific characters of the VIN.
Strategies to reduce the rate of depreciation include regular maintenance, keeping mileage low, avoiding significant modifications, and keeping up with all necessary repairs.
Our vehicle history reports may specify if the 1997 LEXUS has been used as a rental vehicle, which might affect its condition and value, if such information is recorded.
The 'country of origin' in a VIN, indicated by the first one to three characters, tells you where the vehicle was built, which could influence parts availability and design standards.
Keeping your vehicle for about three to five years can optimize its resale value, balancing depreciation with usage and maintenance costs.
Title information may detail the 1997 LEXUS vehicle’s legal status, indicating whether it has a clean, salvage, or rebuilt title, which affects its value and insurability, if such details are recorded.
