2017 Nissan Altima — buyer sends a vehicle-history website I have never heard of

ColdStartHauler469Community StarterFeb 22, 20262017 Nissan Altima 2.5 SVNationwide
2017 Nissan Altima 2.5 SV, about 114,500 miles. Someone interested in my car insists I buy a report from a specific unfamiliar website before they will meet. Is this a common scam pattern and what information should I avoid entering?

Get the messy numbers in writing first. GAP, paint, and nitrogen are optional until you run the 2017 Nissan Altima numbers without them. I'd rather lose the car than buy a foggy deal. On “buyer sends a vehicle-history website i have,” that was the fork that mattered for me. When does it actually happen? If your situation is the opposite, ignore me. I'd rather look cautious in this thread than stuck later.

I'd want competing paper, not competing stories. GAP, paint, and nitrogen are optional until you run the 2017 Nissan Altima numbers without them. If they balk, that's your answer. Was this after sitting overnight? Might be overthinking it, but I'd rather overthink than overspend.

Asking because it changes the advice: In Nationwide, insurance quotes flipped a 2017 Nissan Altima comparison for me more than the sale price did. Then the comparison gets honest. This is from a 2017 Nissan Altima in Nationwide with 114,500 miles. I'd want that in writing, not as a promise. Your commute and mine probably aren't the same, but the test still applies. Doc fee is the line I'm watching.
