Has anyone ordered a golf cart outside The Villages? In another state? What was your experience and what kind of service did they provide?

[Villager Audio Video]

I bought this one out of state and added the enclosure, 14" wheels, floor mat, etc. Im under $8000 complete and it's a 13 EFI Yamaha :-). It has everything. Sand bottle, mirror, deluxe led light kit, shopping bag, high speed, hard and soft cooler, tinted windscreen, ball/club washer

Do you have website of where you ordered? Do you have to pay fl tax when it arrives? Shipping? Color options available?

May I ask who services this cart for you? I think I had read an earlier post on here from a disgruntled citizen that none of the local dealers would service a golf cart bought online or out of state but I've had strange dreams before....

The local golf cart stores/dealers are competitive on pricing, and they provide excellent service. The Villages Golf Cart store is excellent for new and remanufactured carts, and beyond that I'd go no farther away than the reputable Ocala and Leesburg dealer(s) people use here.

I've seen people adamantly refuse TV Golf Cart stores because they think they'll save money, or because they don't want the developer to get one single more of their dollars.

But the tiny amount saved is not worth the aggravation when it breaks down and you have to wait for a dealer service group that comes into town only on certain days and hours, and then if they have to haul it to another city to work on it and deliver it in a couple of days. The local dealers have same-day turnaround for most service things.

Any authorized must service a cart no matter where U buy it, just like car.
If they don't just call the factory, they'll get them a wake up call.

They are correct, if you live in TV you R rich and you must pay more

But the tiny amount saved is not worth the aggravation when it breaks down and you have to wait for a dealer service group that comes into town only on certain days and hours, and then if they have to haul it to another city to work on it and deliver it in a couple of days.

All this information but not who you bought it from ? Why is that a secret? is it not legal?

Hubby and I have a policy never to have people work on our cart that really don't want to work on our cart and may have an issuing with working on our cart. It kinda goes back to people who keep sending their food back to the kitchen at the restaurant, do so at your own risk.

And if you saved $3,000 to $4,000 difference in price on name brand cart by buying it online, I'd sure like to see the invoice to see where we're losing out. Now this is comparing apples to apples please....

[baileysdad]

bought a cart from a Tampa Dealer ..saved almost $3500.00 from the best deal I got in the Villages...Delivered to my door !!! Shop around !!! it's your money !!

I am highly impressed with people who are not swayed by the fact that they can save $3,000- $4,000 by comparing. Cart Dealerships both in Leesburg and Ocala can offer more for less which means much to me.

Let me see how many more 18 holes of golf can I play if I had $3,000 more? How many rib roasts could I buy? How many restaurants could I experience. How many.............................................. .............................

You are exactly the type of customer the cart dealers here are looking for where they can charge more due to perceived value where it isn't.

"baileysdad" said he saved $3,500
and "TheVillagesAV.com " said he got it for less

If you want more proof ? just search Google, simple.

Oh I would send back my food if I didn't like it

I bought my cart in Mississippi, Doug Knight, http://knightrides.com, any color combination you want.

I won't let anybody touch my cart, I'd much prefer to do it myself and know that it's done correctly everytime but I like to play in the garage.

[gomoho]

There is more to this than getting the best deal - what are you actually getting on the cart. Curtains very vastly, tires, having the gears changed out, the extras the dealer adds to the bare bones cart they receive. Just make sure you are comparing apples to apples.

[jimbo2012]

So I many to chose from 5-$6,000 new, see this page

Nice find.

Or pay about twice that local, is that correct?
