Saw this bike for $800 at a thrift shop. Did a google search and there seems to be different variations. I’ve never owned a road bike and just started MTB. Can anyone tell me what this is really worth?
I don’t know the specialized line that well but that looks to be the deal of a lifetime! buy it!

The Roubaix is an endurance bike, which means it has a relaxed geometry that’s comfortable to ride over long distances. Old farts like me adore them, and you may too, but it won’t be a quick or responsive as more aggressive models like the Tarmac and the Aethos, both from the same manufacturer as the Roubaix. For $800, though, with Ultegra di2 shifting and disc brakes, this seems like a better deal than most I see on Reddit—way better.
