2012 Specialized Roubaix Pro Ultegra Di2, size 54, is this too small or do they run large?
2009 Cannondale R4000si, size 56 or 58, its possible it's a 2002 and the person bought it in 2009. Did they make this model in 2009?
2014 Trek Domane 4.3, size 58, this is probably the best condition but components don't look as good as Specialized.
Any input is appreciated as this is all new to me.

The Specialized is probably too small. At 15 years old, the Cannondale is too old to warrant spending anywhere close to $900. The Domane is a possibility but you are right to worry about condition. FWIW, I would not consider buying a used carbon frame as you risk losing your entire investment if it turns out the bike was crashed.
Maybe consider looking for a deal on something new.
