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
As a first time used car buyer, I was nervous about getting ripped off. The vehicle report from badvin gave me so much more confidence - it confirmed the car had a clean history and the mileage lined up. Such a relief to have that peace of mind.
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
Can't believe what badvin found on a used 2012 chevy silverado I almost bought - odometer had been rolled back 50k miles according to the mileage history! Carfax didnt show nething bout that. So glad I checked here first b4 handing over my hard earned $$

Frequently asked questions
The expected depreciation of a vehicle after three years can vary, but generally, cars lose a significant portion of their value within the first few years.
In 1997 LEXUS vehicles, the part of the VIN that provides information about the engine type is typically one of the middle characters, which varies by manufacturer.
The Monroney label of a 1997 LEXUS ES lists advanced technology features, such as navigation systems, driver assistance technologies, and connectivity features, along with their descriptions.
Advanced safety features can influence the resale value and slow the depreciation of vehicles by making them more attractive to safety-conscious buyers.
While a VIN decoder generally does not provide dealership information, it can tell you the region where the vehicle was originally sold.
Our vehicle history reports may indicate if the 1997 LEXUS vehicle was previously used in commercial services like a taxi or rental car, which may affect its condition and value, if such usage is recorded.
