Quick question about selling a car online

I have a car on Craigslist for sale. I just received an email from a potential buyer who wants the VIN number and more pics. No mention at this point about "clients who owe us money" or offshore shipping, etc. So I want to be receptive at this point before treating it like a scam.

My question, is there a personal security concern with sharing the VIN # with a complete stranger? Can they use this information to get any personal information about me, try to resell the car without me knowing, etc?

Sharing experience with online car sales is appreciated.

BTW the car in question is my 2001 Audi A6 Avant, 59K miles, leather, moonroof, CD, etc. $16K OBO.
