Good buy or no?

Hello. I'm debating buying this 2000 vfr800. 75k km (46.6k miles) for $3k CAD ($2,200 USD). Single owner. Corbin seat, two brothers slip on. Stock otherwise. Good deal? Average? Or pass? Thank you. Edit: there's an accident from 2005 on the Carfax with a repair coat of ~$2k. The bike was donated to Kars4kids, then auctioned to a dealer. Based on the name in the used vehicle package, my internet sleuthing tells me the prior owner passed away (name and area match so I could be wrong), and I'm guessing his family donated the bike while clearing out his possessions.

Car buying scam on FB Marketplace

Hello. I'm curious if anyone has encountered a scam similar to this.

I listed a car on Marketplace, someone showed up and left $100 for me to hold the car, and asked me to send him a copy of the vin saying he'd get insurance and come pick up the car the following day. Then he just... disappeared. He left the FB chat and is not answering my calls or text messages.

I must admit I have not encountered this level of weirdness in any prior sales, so looking for feedback re possible scams. Thank you.
