i would pay maybe 600. it’s an old (albeit high end) bike that has paint damage and old components with little to no upgradeability.

Maybe €570 as-is… it’s a heavily used 12 year old bike… can’t really speak to the European market, but in the US that’s a $650 bike.
The steerer is cut low so you can’t adjust your fit, frame is scratched and dirty, chain rings aren’t done but they’re rounding as far as I can see, the chain looks whipped, don’t have a good picture but quite sure those aren’t the 8000 series Ultegra brakes – those and the aluminum core MOST seat post are cost cutters, the days of high pressure skinny tires and rim brakes are gone. Add in the cables, new tape, a tune up, and a fresh saddle you’ll have to pay for there’s your €850.
If you really want a Pinarello of that period, negotiate – but I would hold out for something a little newer for the same money, personally.
