Testimonials from our customers

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!
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.
Report showed a car I was considering had a prior salvage title from a major accident, even though carfax listed it as clean. Messaged seller asking about it and they made shady excuses. Def avoided a scam thanks to badvin!
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.

Frequently asked questions
Yes, a VIN decoder can determine the manufacture year of the vehicle as it is encoded in the 10th character of the VIN.
Factors to consider when estimating the future resale value include the car's historical depreciation rate, current market trends, overall vehicle condition, and mileage.
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.
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.
Saltwater damage, if documented, is specifically noted due to its corrosive impact on the 1983 MERCEDES-BENZ vehicle's mechanical and electrical systems.
When buying a car, consider models with strong resale histories, opt for popular color and feature options, and evaluate current market trends for the best value retention.
These records, if available, show if the 1983 MERCEDES-BENZ has been reported stolen or recovered, impacting its legal status and potential purchase risk.
