I listed my VStar today. Received several text message inquiries about it. Every one so far after asking questions about the bike has asked for a vehicle report and sent a link. Of course the reports cost money. I googled the links and they’re all scams. Ugh. It’s been several years since I’ve listed a vehicle, no issues with scammers then. The internet is the Wild West now.

Listed where, would be helpful to know. And what's a Vstar?
I have had no luck with vehicle purchases or sales on the internet as well. Just resort to dealerships.
V-Stars are Yamaha's separate brand (Star Motorcycles) of cruiser styled motorcycles with V-Twin motors.
Ok. Odd that he lists the make of the Accord but not of the other three in his list.
On kijiji.

Now? The internet has always been the Wild West.
My recent experience was pretty good. I just sold one of my Scions on Facebook Marketplace. I had some idiotic lowball offers and plenty of “Is it available” messages that never replied back, but I also had two people come and drive it. Both drove about a hour because I’m in the boonies. The second guy paid the asking price in cash right on the spot.
I didn’t get any of the scam vin check messages. I guess they don’t bother for a $3000 car.
