It's agreed value on classic insurance is £3500 and we've had fairly frequent attempts to buy it at £2500-3000, but have resisted.

I actually owned a Xantia Activa for a while too. If you ever get the chance to drive one, you should. Amazing handling and practically zero body roll.
My late one was daily transport for me so used to require 6 monthly services - would routinely break down a week to the day after each service with something completely unrelated to the service work! This one has always been a 2nd car since we owned it. Can't recall the exact mileage now but it's in the 50s!

I have driven an Activa - very strange sensation! It did suffer from a nodding dog problem due to wear in the joints - you'd be sitting stationary at traffic lights and it'd be constantly trying to correct the ride height! I always fancied a V6 one....
