Help with identifying a possible Peugeot PX-8?

Dear all,
this is my first post in this forum and I would appreciate some help with this bike I might buy.
The seller told me it is a Peugeot PX8 but is not entirely sure. Here is the link: facebook.com/marketplace/item/200817407605079/
Is this a Peugeot PX8 and - given it is in a good condition, is it worth the price?
Kind regards

Well assuming 160 euros = 176 dollars, I think it is reasonable. Not a bargain, but not outrageous by metropolitan southeast US standards. More specifically I note: the frame and decals look in very good condition. The all chrome front fork is usually half painted in the US, but I can't say for the Netherlands, so I can't say whether the front fork is original as is, original with stripped paint, or a replacement. The front derailleur is the original and looks to be in good shape but the polymer is known to be subject to aging and cracking. The fenders are a nice plus. Can't quite see if the wheels are original but of course the tires are new (or newer). The pedals looks like updated replacements. Overall looks well maintained. If it is your size, fits your needs, and checks out mechanically, and the seller will negotiate a little, seems okay to me.
