Puch Meteor Luxe

Just found a Puch Meteor Luxe on CL and went to see it and the guy only wanted $40 for it. I don't know much about vintage foreign 10 speeds outside of Peugeot, Motobecane, Nishiki, and the other big makers of mass produced road bikes. The only Puch I remember from back in the day was a moped. I 've heard guys on this forum gush about Puch bikes and from what I know about bike flesh in general it was a good buy at that price. Obviously this is not a full Campy model it has Suntour components, 27 inch wheels and a cool Swiss rack on the back. Very little is available as far as information on these bikes and models and their pecking order. I am not blind and know this is not one of those exciting collector bikes but I think it was more of an entry level school/work bike. Do these bikes still have any collector value? As soon as I change the tires and do a wheels off clean and tune I will post pictures. There is a similar bike in a 10 year old thread in C&V burgundy with gold decals. Is it because Puch is a small manufacturer they are less common and just because of that more desirable?
