Felt F85 worth upgrading?

Ive been in the market for an older high end aluminum frame bike. Something light and built for fast riding. I unfortunately missed out on a 1993 cannondale r2000 with the 2.8 frame that was full dura ace and in great condition so now I’m looking again. I was offered a 2012 felt f85 by a friend of a friend for 250. According to bicycle blue book that’s the highest price for excellent condition but the bike is supposedly in superb condition( I haven’t seen it yet). The bike is my size but I’m not a big fan of the low end components. My question would be is the f85 frame worth upgrading with used ultegra or dura ace components and a new wheel set or would I be better off holding out for something like a older higher end cannondale. Any input regarding the felt or other worthwhile aluminum bikes would be much appreciated!
