I can’t tell what year it is. But regular diverge aluminum frames are going for 1200 bucks around me. So if it’s 2020 or newer I would say it’s a great deal.

Seems like a very good deal carbon, 105, wireless, disk brakes probably not more than 5 years old. Never heard of the frame manufacturer tho…

That diverge graphic would indicate that it’s relatively old. This looks like maybe a 2016. They moved away from that diverge logo in 2018 I think.
What’s nice about specialized is they change the paint every year and don’t repeat paint patterns so you can often date a bike just by the paint and graphics. Check specialized archive for the diverge and see where it matches.
Buying carbon used is a bit harder because the only way to know if the frame is for sure good is getting it scanned.

Not sure but totally depends on what you’re looking for and how you’re gonna use it.
For a little bit more you can get a brand new base model aluminum diverge (~$1200) or even the E5 (specialized aluminum) Elite level is only $1,599 MSRP. + it will have a warranty. There will probably be end of season sales too. I had a 2021 E5 elite diverge and absolutely loved it. (It got stolen a few months ago :/ or I’d still be riding it) – if you want used i might check around for something newer and price/spec compare.

It’s not a bad bike but if that’s how it fits you I would search for another size and or geometry
