The bottom line is that if they were serious, they'd list the VIN.
there can be more reasons why dealerships are reluctant in posting the vin

For sure there are many justified reasons for not posting the VIN - but there are also several fake VINs as well, not just listings without VINs. I mentioned the fake VIN issue when someone brought up the autotrader listings in an unrelated Car Chat thread a few weeks ago. I checked the first two listings that had a VIN but no pictures, and both were for known cars and had the wrong colors listed.

It's hard to believe anyone actually and seriously selling a new LFA would fail to post pics or fail to list the right VIN - or even worse, list a fake VIN.
