Riding a quality vintage bike is something I really want to try
Yes, it's an entry-level model, maybe a couple of steps up from the bottom. But, I've found that those older Peugeots are wonderful bikes. My PX-8 model from 1974 is nearly the same as yours, and I've sunk a fair amount of money into it, but absolutely love the ride. Your model, like mine was, is a heavier frame, but a nice all-around riding bike. Putting much money into it, from a future resale value, won't make it worth the cost, but if it's something you're wanting to try and have the funds for, I think you'll love the ride of the bike if it fits you.
