Looks like a gen 6 madone. They’re onto 8 now ,, so slightly older tech. But these frames were a couple of thousand new…
It has the BB- which is good. You’ll need a proprietary stem to go with those spacers, or swap the spacers and use a standard stem. These stems are over $100 new.
Make sure the seat mast is going to be the correct length. Replacement ones of these are almost $300
Even if it’s the correct length you could use this to negotiate a lower number.
It’s a 62… The seller is likely not getting a lot of bites on this listing. Start a conversation about it. Make sure it’s never been crashed, find out what they’re riding now. If the convo goes well, offer $500 and you might be surprised, but look at the frame in person first and ensure there is nothing concerning with the carbon.

And fwiw, id be concerned that the listing photo had the bare carbon resting on cement. It probably isn’t doing any damage except to the paint … but it wouldn’t’t fill me with confidence that the bike was well cared for by the previous owner

Great price if the IsoSpeed isn’t broken
