Testimonials from our customers
I always rely on badvin to check out any used car before I buy. It gives such a complete history, including past accidents, service records, recalls and much more. Feel so much more confident as a used car shopper having this info.

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.

As a car dealer importing vehicles from the US to Mexico, I rely on badvin for comprehensive history reports before bidding at auctions. Their info has helped me avoid several salvage vehicles and is more thorough than carfax. A must-have service!
Javier Ramirez

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.

Frequently asked questions
Factors to consider when estimating the future resale value include the car's historical depreciation rate, current market trends, overall vehicle condition, and mileage.
To minimize depreciation costs, consider purchasing a model known for retaining its value or opting for a slightly used vehicle that has already undergone initial depreciation.
Frame damage can indicate severe impacts and is critical to the structural integrity and safety of the 1998 BMW vehicle, if such damage is documented.
Keeping your vehicle for about three to five years can optimize its resale value, balancing depreciation with usage and maintenance costs.
The information in a vehicle history report, such as past accidents, salvage titles, and theft, may significantly affect the car's resale value, depending on what is documented.
A window sticker provides detailed information about a vehicle's fuel economy, including city, highway, and combined mpg figures, helping buyers understand expected fuel costs.
Most VIN decoders do not provide color information as this is not typically encoded in the VIN; color information is usually obtained from vehicle registration documents or manufacturer records.
Lien status may indicate whether there are outstanding financial obligations like loans on the 1998 BMW vehicle, which must be settled before ownership can transfer, if such records exist.
The total price on a Monroney label includes the base price of the vehicle, plus the cost of any optional features, packages, and mandatory fees such as destination charges.
A CPO vehicle offers the reliability of a new car at a lower price, backed by a comprehensive warranty, making it a great option for those seeking value and peace of mind.
