Buyer asking option codes, is it safe to share?

[dapao]

Hello,

I am trying to sell my car. I have a few buyers asking for Tesla option code. Is it safe to share it? I feel like someone is gathering data instead being interested in buying my car.

I just bought a 2015 and the seller was happy to share all the codes. The fun of selling cars privately - you want more momey than a dealer will give you, there are sacrifices to make.

Money rather. I don't see an edit option.

It's option codes. What nefarious activity could they possibly use that information for?

I don't know. That is why I am asking. It is relatively new to me though owning tesla for 7 years,,,,

They are gathering data to make an informed decision on their potential purchase.

If I were looking to purchase a vehicle and the seller did not provide/did not know the option codes I would move right along.

Thanks for your input guys. Good to know risk is low.

With the VIN number they could see how much carvana and similar would offer them. Better withhold that as well!

Without VIN number how are buyers supposed to check carfax.If potential buyer wants to know trade in price of the car I assume it's fine.Private party value should be between trade in offer & car being sold by the dealer
