Used trail bike - good value?

Hi all,

I could use some expert advice on a potential used bike purchase. I am new to mountain biking and went on some guided rides organised by a LBS. The LBS owner offered to sell me his own used bike, which I had used for one of the outings (50km+). I did like how it handled. It's a 2015 BH Lynx 4.8 Carbon 9.5 29er with some custom upgrades (see specs below). The bike is a bit more than a year old but has probably been ridden lot in this time (read: 2-3 times a week). Offered price is €2500 (MRSP was around €3500 w/o upgrades).

Do you think this is a good deal?

Thanks in advance for your help!
