If so, can it be dismantled so that it can be carried in a car?

I had one, felt the build quality fair, but the handlebars suck. Very poorly designed for use by an actual bike rider. I guess they might be ok for people who only do spin classes and don’t actually ride.
To answer your specific question, the bars and seat post can be removed, as can the botton cross bars the bike sits on. The main frame unit and wheel cannot be disassembled. The whole thing is very cumbersome to deal with. Getting it into the back of a hatchback would probably work with the rear seats folded down, but would be a 2 person job in and out. Can’t imagine any way to get it in through a car door into a seat.

Yes, reasonably easily but it is cumbersome and heavy (the main frame and wheel which cannot be taken apart probably weighs close to 80-90 lbs) so, if you are putting it into the back seat of a car you should have two people for your back safety.
Definitely.
I have one and taking off the seat, handlebars and front+rear stabilizers I got it into the back of a honda civic 4 door. It is heavy but if you don’t have to go up stairs then it rolls on the front rubber wheels pretty easily.
That is exactly what one of their guys told me at Interbike when I asked about the bar design. It is not designed for hard core cyclists, it works great for people who want to ride with their bars higher.
If I got myself a spin bike I would get the cyclops with the powermeter. Much better design alltogether and better bar design too.

The relatively lighter, lower inertia flywheel lacks some of the real bike ‘feel’ of a Star Trac Spin bike or CycleOps bike, too.
Well the reason I posted this was I wanted an indoor spinning bike on which to start riding and getting fit again after a lay off measured in years not months.
Power is a non issue given the zero fitness level from which I am starting.
The Lemond in the UK retails for more than $2800 and as such I won one on ebay for >$300.
This will I think work as a good quality indoor bike as a starter for 10.
Now, where to start
