The listing says it is "like new" and has hydraulic disc brakes. Seems like a good deal, but I want to make sure that I'm not missing anything.
Thanks in advance!

No. It’s a great, great frame and bike, but it’s about 15 years old. The hoods for those shifters are nigh on impossible to track down. You’ll almost definitely need to factor in the price of a lot of consumables like chain, cassette, potentially chainrings, cables, etc.
I’m in Australia, so of course, different economies etc, but I’d Offer $350usd/$550aud.
Those aren’t hydraulic disc brakes, they’re rim brakes. It’s more old school, there are still a ton of cyclists riding rim brake bikes, in fact almost every cyclist I know still owns one in their fleet disc brake bikes. Can’t tell what the wheels are. The shimano groupset is definitely older than the frame. The frame is like from 2011. That’s like a 2006 shimano 105 5600. The cabling comes out of the shifter in front of the head tube to the outside instead of threading through the shifter and then bar. Not worth it imo.
