Testimonials from our customers
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

Bad Vin's vehicle history report showed that the 2018 Audi A4 I was about to buy had been in a major accident that was not disclosed by the seller. The severity analysis helped me avoid a bad purchase. Great service!

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

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
Understanding depreciation is important for car owners to manage financial expectations and make informed decisions about selling or trading in their vehicles at the right time.
Ownership history, including the number of previous owners and how long they owned the vehicle, can indicate how well the 1998 BMW vehicle was maintained, if such records are available.
To ensure the 1998 BMW 328 meets environmental standards, look for emissions ratings and fuel economy data on the window sticker, which indicate compliance with environmental regulations.
An unrepaired vehicle status may mean there are outstanding repairs that have not been made, which might involve safety risks or future expenses, if reported.
You can verify the authenticity of a window sticker on a new car by checking that it includes official data from the manufacturer and matches the vehicle’s VIN and specifications.
A salvage title generally indicates that the vehicle was declared a total loss by an insurance company due to severe damage from an accident, flood, or other causes, if such information is recorded.
