OT: Peugeot 206 2.0 HDI - Very cheap!

Is anyone interested in a (very!) cheap, reliable, and surprisingly capable vehicle?
It's a 206 2.0 HDI with 147,000 miles on the clock, and it's never skipped a beat! We have had 4 people and all their climbing/camping gear in there, and I've recently fitted a tow bar for towing boats etc. It's a great vehicle for long journeys, and is economical for motorway cruising. Easily does 60mpg, and have squeezed 68mpg on long cruises. Being a 2litre turbo diesel, it also tows very well too. I have used it for towing my sailing dinghy (aprox 100kg total with trailer), and you don't even notice it's there!
Since I've owned it, it's been well looked after mechanically, and has plenty of life left in it. It doesn't smoke, and always starts easily on the first turn of the key. It's mechanically very healthy.

The good points:
-4 brand new, matching tyres fitted about 500 miles ago
-fitted a brand new starter motor last week
-serviced with new filters and oil about 1000 miles ago
-front pads and discs were done about 6000 miles ago.
-Includes space saver spare wheel AND full size spare wheel with good tyre (I prefer taking this on long motorway journeys)
-Recently fitted tow-bar and tow-bar electircs
-Upgraded stereo to Sony head unit, with cd player aux cable (for iPod etc)
-Includes Haynes manual!

The bad points (the reason it's so cheap!):
-The bodywork isn't great. there is a ding in the near side door sill, from a boat trailer being reversed into it, but this is merely cosmetic: the body is galvanised, so it will not rust here. there is also rippling on the roof, from a tree branch falling on it, but again, this is just cosmetic.
-The interior is reasonably straight, but not immaculate (as you'd expect with a 14yr old car!)- I had wet paint on my overalls, and some of it got on the drivers seat.
-The exhaust is cracked, and needs repairing to pass an MOT (will cost aprox £100 at an exhaust centre, or you can weld it yourself)
-Mot expires April 6th

Reason for sale: I'm leaving the country at the end of the summer, and don't need a vehicle during the summer. I have looked after the car well, and spent the money on it up until now, but don't need it any more, and struggle to justify spending the time/money fixing the exhaust and MOTing it, as I need to sell it anyway.

Apart from the exhaust issue, it should sail through it's MOT. I have tried to be as honest as possible, but if you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask. I've tried to show everything in the photos, but if you'd like to see more specific details, I can take more on request.

I would like £400 as it is. Car is based near Woodbridge, Suffolk, but I will deliver for the cost of fuel+train fare home.
