Testimonials from our customers

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!
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!
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
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.

Frequently asked questions
Such title brands might indicate significant past damage and repairs, crucial for assessing the safety and value of the 2001 MERCEDES-BENZ SL 500, if such brands are applied.
A VIN alone does not typically provide fuel economy details directly; however, it can identify the vehicle model and engine type, which you can cross-reference with fuel economy data from other sources.
An insurance check can reveal past claims, typically related to accident damage, which might indicate underlying issues not apparent in a physical inspection, if such information is available.
You can educate yourself about reading and understanding window stickers by researching online resources, asking questions at dealerships, or consulting automotive buying guides that explain the elements of the label.
VIN decoding assists in insurance processes by providing accurate vehicle identification, which is crucial for policy creation, risk assessment, and claim processing.
Taxes are not typically shown on the Monroney label for 2001 MERCEDES-BENZ vehicles as they vary by location and are usually calculated and added at the time of purchase.
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.
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.
