Shared taxi app? Shared ride to Essaouira

Hi everyone! ☀️
We’re a couple currently staying in Imsouane and would love to explore Essaouira tomorrow (Sunday, October 11). Unfortunately, we don’t have a car, and taking a taxi just for the two of us would cost around €100 or more.
We were wondering if anyone has any tips on how to get there more affordably? 😊
Maybe someone is heading in that direction and has two spare seats, or perhaps someone would like to share a taxi with us? Of course, we’d be more than happy to contribute to the costs!
We’d really appreciate any suggestions or help. Thanks so much in advance! 🌸

Is 850€ a good deal for a 2008 vespa LX 50 2T with 26.000km

Hi everyone,
I’m considering buying a 2008 Vespa LX 50 2-stroke and would appreciate some opinions from people who know these scooters better than I do.

The seller is asking €850 and it has around 26,000 km (16,000 miles) on it. Overall, it looks pretty decent for its age and the seller says it runs well.

A few things to mention:
The variator restriction ring has been removed, so it currently reaches around 65 km/h instead of 45 km/h. According to the seller, this is the only modification and reinstalling the ring should bring it back to its original/legal setup.

There is a small electrical issue with the lights – apparently they occasionally cut out briefly.
There is some rust around the lower edge of the floorboard. I’ve attached a close-up photo.
The seller has installed a new battery.

My main concerns are the 26,000 km mileage and the rust around the floorboard/frame.
Does €850 sound like a good price for an LX 50 2T in this condition? Is there anything specific I should check when I go to see it, particularly regarding rust or common problems with higher-mileage LX 50s?

Thx!!
