Testimonials from our customers

I've tried a bunch of different vehicle history reports over the years and badvin.org has been the most comprehensive by far. Stuff like service records, ownership history, lien and repo info that I haven't found elsewhere. Def go-to resource when shopping for used vehicles now.
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.
Ich hätte fast einen 2017 Mercedes-Benz C300 gekauft, bis der Bad Vin-Bericht zeigte, dass er als durch Überschwemmung beschädigt gemeldet wurde. Die detaillierten Schadensaufzeichnungen haben mich vor einem großen Fehler bewahrt!
I almost bought a used Honda but luckily checked the BadVin report first. Turned out it had a salvage title from flood damage that the seller didn't disclose. Phew, dodged a huge issue!

Frequently asked questions
VIN decoding assists in insurance processes by providing accurate vehicle identification, which is crucial for policy creation, risk assessment, and claim processing.
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 generally does not provide dealership information, it can tell you the region where the vehicle was originally sold.
Some models may depreciate faster due to factors like lower demand, higher maintenance costs, or outdated technology compared to newer versions.
Total loss status, if documented, is reported along with the circumstances and damage type, critical for assessing whether the 1997 LEXUS vehicle has been substantially compromised.
Leasing history, if included, may detail the duration and terms under which the 1997 LEXUS ES 300 was leased, which can influence its maintenance and condition, depending on the data provided.
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.
Proper maintenance and good condition can slow the depreciation of a 1997 LEXUS ES 300 by making it more attractive to potential buyers, thereby preserving more of its value.
Depreciation, which reflects the decline in a 1997 LEXUS vehicle's value over time due to factors like age, mileage, and condition, may directly impact its resale value, based on recorded information.
