Same way you'd investigate anything you are considering buying privately.
Are the pictures actual pics or screenprints?
Reverse image search to see if the pics show up anywhere else
Search the VIN and pull a carfax if you can
Check the seller's profile to see if they post like a real person or are only here to sell (not automatic negative, but could be a red flag)
Google search their username - people often use the same name on multiple sites
Communicate with the seller - do they respond like a normal person, are they super eager to complete the sale, are they unwilling to send additional pictures?
Probably plenty of other tips too
