Then you’ll need to take a punt if it’s what you want and the size is fine. Have you ridden one at least?

It’s a lot to spend on a bike never tried, but up to you

Yes you are right.It’s a lot to spend on a bike never tried, but up to you
There was no way I was getting to test ride at my local giant retailer.
It’s difficult to get a ride on one especially when buying used

But it’s small, while you said ML is ok. Wait for the right size

Presumably you’ve checked it is still available?
Go see it if it’s what you want.
At least it’s not black

Well not really as that’s a dark brown

I really like the colour and would be happy to own that, and would pay that price which considering you get pedals and cleats included, looks to be fair. Looks cared for too.
One small thing to note - advert says 'full 105' - the chainset isn't, though still Shimano.

Go see it but didn’t you lower your budget?
No one can really tell you what you should buy. If you like it, fits you, in budget, buy it
