If the title has a cloud on it, they'll find out about it when the run a CarFax check on it. But any buyer with half a brain is going to demand that.
There's no risk in putting the VIN on the listing. Many eBay sellers do just that so that prospective buyers can check it out before making a bid.

When provoding the VIN # for information purposes always leave out the last 6 digits. This is the production # and is not needed to decode your cars info. In addition in case this is a scam the scammer would need all 17 digits and it is virtually impossible for someone to guess what the last 6 digits of your vin are.

Avoid selling your car on craigslist. I was going to sell a laptop on it and got about 5 offers...reasonable offers. All were definite scams...all different scams from different people. Try an ad in the local paper, and deal locally.

I would call a car dealer and ask. They'll probably know if it's alright or if it poses any kind of risk as far as theft or fraud.
