Default Restore Dry, Cracked Guitar?

I am currently looking a Tacoma EM9CE2. It costs about a $1,000 USD when new, and I can pick one up for $300 USD. The guy selling it bought it from a woman who kept her house VERY WARM. I suspect this to be the reason why there is a small crack near the soundhole. I also suspect this to be the cause of a dry guitar exposed to low humidity for a long period of time.

ANYWAYS, I want to know if the guitar is worth trying to restore. I've heard a little humidification and crack repair can go a VERY LONG way. If this guitar sounds good as is, I think I will take the chance and buy it.

Anyone have any experience with a dry, cracked guitar?
