Should I buy it? Alhambra 7fc

It's an Alhambra 7fc for 5300 swedish crowns (=570 euros or something)
The price of it in the stores is around 1100-1300 euros.

The guitar is from 2004 and the soundboard is made of spruce, sides and back are cypress & neck is mahogny. I have very little knowledge of different woods, I hope you can tell me whether this is good or bad

My current guitar is an Alhambra 3C which is going to break soon ;p
I live in Sweden so this is probably one of the best guitars I can find here.
Has anyone tried this guitar? And no, I can't afford a luthier-built guitar

I don't know how Euros convert to dollars, but I can tell you that as factory guitars go, the Alhambra 7FC is a very good flamenco guitar - for its category.

Not sure if it works without wheels, but I'm sure it is a good bike for the money.

Jokes aside, if you want to spend around 800€ check out this guitar

I have already tried it and there is nothing you could do wrong with those guitars.

Or this one, I've tried it too, both guitars should be better than a Yamaha:
