Testimonials from our customers
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.
BadVin's vehicle history report is a must-have before buying any used vehicle. It's saved me from a few lemons over the years - cars that looked great on the surface but had hidden issues like accidents or title problems. Well worth the price.
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 $$
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
Frequently asked questions
Flood damage, if reported, can compromise key systems and reduce the 2019 GENESIS G70's reliability and value, detailed in the report for potential buyers.
VIN decoding does not directly reveal maintenance history; however, it can identify the vehicle model and year, which you can use to access maintenance records through service databases with the VIN.
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.
The Monroney label of a 2019 GENESIS G70 lists advanced technology features, such as navigation systems, driver assistance technologies, and connectivity features, along with their descriptions.
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.
Safety ratings, if available, provide information from crash tests and safety evaluations, which can help assess the 2019 GENESIS vehicle's protection level in accidents.
A VIN decoder is generally reliable for confirming the transmission type, as this information is encoded within the VIN by most manufacturers.
