Absolute beginner looking for a road bike and I don’t have the cash for a new one, both of these are 52cm so they should properly fit me. Any feedback or advice is appreciated, thank you!

Both old and over priced . They both look like they need maintenance but it’s hard to tell without seeing the drivetrain more clearly . If I had to choose between the two I would select the Cannondale .
Both are good deal. The first, Motocabane has modern groupset, the second Cannondale R800 is made of high-quality aluminum and is a well-known brand.
I’d say 200$ max. Shifters and derailleurs wear out. Expensive to replace. That cannondale is atleast 15 years old. Not sure how old motebecane is. For reference I just paid 500$ locally for a 2022 road bike. Frame was a brand similar to motebecane Had aftermarket wheels that were 400$ new. A older but still functional crank arm with power meter. And a few other upgrades
Keep looking. You can find better
Get the Cannondale. It’s a better bike and those wheels are excellent (i have a pair). You can always swap the drivetrain anyway.
