I've bought a fair number of used bikes and have gotten some great bikes for much less than they would have cost new. If you are in that market you have to be both very patient and willing to take what comes to you. I have saved searches on CL and ebay, so I get an email when the things I may be interested in come up for sale. I have to wade through a lot of crap before something interesting comes up, and it's usually not quite exactly what I would have gotten new.
If I were looking at a new lightweight modern road bike in your price-range, the
Endurace CF SL Disc 7.0 would probably be at the top of the list unless I happened to stumble on a leftover bike that a dealer was heavily discounting to get out the door.
