I'm mostly looking to get a decent bike for some road use, and mostly indoor endurance training use. Not sure if this is overkill, super inexperienced with bikes. Would love any advice!

*Bike costs $480 !
I’d get it if I needed another bike. Great components and carbon frame. It’s not super old. However if tire clearance and disc brakes are important to you you may not feel it’s worth $480. In any case I think you want to stick with 56cm though at your height. But that’s not hard and fast, take it out for a mile ride and see how comfortable you are and how it fits. I like my frames a bit small so I’d snap this up especially since I don’t care about disc brakes one way or the other.
Couple things- that bike is not a 54. It’s at least 56, maybe 58. So if you’re significantly shorter than the current owner, this bike is not a good choice.
Scattante is one of the bike brands from the defunct Performance group, currently sold online only through BikesDirect.com. These are generally ok bikes but they are decidedly second (third…) tier. It might not really matter, the groupset is mostly proper Shimano, and that might be the more important thing. But the 105 group there looks like it’s maybe the old 10spd, so not really modern.
In all, yeah it would work. It looks nice and like it’s in good shape for its age. You might be able to negotiate down- maybe target 350?
Looks to be an amazing condition and clearly taking care of I don’t like to spend major money on used bikes but I would offer them like 380-350 you know and see what happens I don’t think you’ll be wrong having that bike at all
