Found this 2023 Kona Big Honzo DL on FB Marketplace for 700, brought him down to 600$ and we are planning on meeting to check out the bike later this week. Would y'all say this is a good deal? Do you notice any issues with the bike from the pictures, that I may have missed?

Nah you can find better. Go full suspension
It’s not possible to give a useful opinion given the photos. At that price, you can afford to have a local bike store look over prior to sale.
The front tire looks very worn. Is there a service history? Does everything work when you ride it? Does it make a any strange noises – rubbing, grinding, squeaking, squealing, etc. – when ridden (test hard braking and rapid shifting)?
Cassette and chain looks like it’s never seen a trail
What is the cut off text saying? “It has less than 12”… 12 miles?
I’d look it over closely and do a test ride but $600 for a very lightly used Kona with Deore drivetrain, air fork, dropper post, hydro brakes, is a pretty good price in my opinion. I got my teen an Ozark Trail Ridge pro and it has a Cues drivetrain which is a lower spec with less gears, probably crappier wheels too, and it was also $600
