Hi I am in NYC looking for a reliable commuter and came across this Peugeot from the 80s that is beautiful and tuned up and new tires for 300. Would you consider this? Any input is greatly appreciated!!

It’s probably more suited to anchoring a boat than practical commuting in this day and age.
If you need a folding bike a more modern option would be faster and more fun to ride, as well as easier to maintain. I like Dahon bikes as a rule but there’s no shortage of options.
ETA: Yes it is pretty.
It’s a lovely little thing but closer to £30 than £300 in my market. I would be hesitant to part with even £100 for this.
That’s a clone of a Graziella – a classic 1960s Italian folding bike. Likely the frame is Italian made. They’re absolutely joyful things, I’ve 2 the same (a Stratton and a Hercules – but both Italian frames), honestly some of the nicest riding folding frames there are.
However, they don’t fold well/usefully and I paid £35 total for both of mine, and £16 each on new tyres. I am not an expert on the US cycle market, but $300 sounds a little excessive.
ONLY if you truly want or need a folding bike.
