Saw this bike for sale for $600, I wonder if it’s far or not, the seller said that it’s just the flat tire, it looks suspicious to me.

I posted this exact bike raising same questions about a month ago. In short, the community agreed this post was sus (except one Redditor who said they chatted with the seller who was a cool guy). Strangely obtuse fork angle, fact it was posted in N Charleston likely meaning it’s stolen and that flat tire could be a sign of overall neglect were the arguments against. FWIW, I am local but decided to pass on the listing but the fact it’s still up on FB at this price also seems sus.
There is another full squish posted in Summerville (Trek Fuel EX 8, red) for $1,150 which is legit. I did meet with that seller and he was a very chill dude in person. I would up going with another bike but yeah, hat one seemed solid and fairly priced
It’s a real frame, most components I can see are solid, I’m not sure that the fork is original though.

Definitely not stolen.
Think its a diamondback, still not a bad deal though
Looks like a Diamondback.
The Santa Cruz stickers are not factory for sure. The “A” on factory has a cross making it look like a real “A” and not like an upside down V. Seems quite sus for sure.
