What do you think of this?

I am looking at this for my wife:

But it is setting off my spidey senses. What do you think of Diamondback bikes in general? Normally I associate them with lower-end bikes but I could be totally mistaken. They may make higher-end stuff but I’m just not familiar with the brand. It sort of screams “bikes direct” at me.

The bike in the ad is brand-new, never ridden 2015. I talked to the seller, a very chatty guy and he said he gets some kind of wholesale deal on Diamondback bikes “through a friend”. So right off the bat I’m getting an odd vibe off of this deal. He has other listings for Diamondback bikes on CL.

Is this some kind of White van speaker scam? Is this a $300 bike dressed up to look like a $1500 bike “on sale” for only $975 (if you act now)?
