I looked at the three you listed. The first one the Cannondale F5 is a 2008 model 2008 Cannondale F5 - BikePedia
. It had an MSRP of $630 so the asking price is no bargain. The components are OK but certainly not high end. The second one doesn't have a listed MSRP but the components are not very good 2007 Trek Pilot 1.0 - BikePedia
. The last one is a genuine Japanese made road bike dating back to the 1980s. It certainly should fit you. I'm not sure I would pay that much money for a 30 year old bike that would need a thorough going through. That's why I suggest you seek help from the local bike club. Someone there could help you wade through all of the junk that shows up on CL. The one MTB that I still ride (1990 Balance MTB) is 24 years old and cost me $450 15 years ago and came off the equivalent of CL back then. It is very light and has really nice components. The only repairs since then are two tires and normal lubrication. You certainly can get a lot more bike for your money versus a new bike.
