Moving to TV in September - Need Advice on Golf Carts
My wife and I are moving to TV in September and have been looking for a golf cart. I think we have decided on electric (sorry, gas fans), and are leaning to the Club Car. My question is: Should we buy the Re-manufactured or New, and Why? What is the price difference between the Re-manufactured and the New. Also, any recommendations about accessories would be appreciated. It will be used for golf as well as TV transportation.
Thanks ahead of time. |

Rent a cart for a while... do your due diligence and let the buyer beware. What is less expensive or "the best deal' may cause future problems for you. |

We purchased from Golf Cart Connection (see banner at right) and are very pleased with them. Their carts are remanufactured, but essentially new since the only used component is the Club Car frame - everything else is new. Very responsive in the event you require service, too. You also get a three year top to bottom warranty from them.

Re: Moving to TV in September - Need Advice on Golf Carts
One thing you may want to consider is getting a cart with doors vs curtains. My wife persuaded me to get the club car with curtis cab (has doors and a heater) and I'm glad she did. Every time it rains or when the weather is cool I appreciate the doors. Since the golf cart is our primary transportation the extra expense made sense. If you only plan on using it occasionally the extra expense is probably not worth it. We bought new from the local club car dealer and to date have had good service from them.

I know some of the new gas carts are pretty quiet but I still love our electric cart..so nice to ride quietly along and enjoy the scenery. The newer electric carts do have a longer range than past years. Most importantly, it is an environmentally good choice :bigthumbsup:

I don't understand why some people are under the gross misconception that electric is somehow "green". Do you think electricity is shipped in from China in barrels? Or maybe electricity grows on trees somewhere? Twenty miles from my home is the largest polluter in the state. It is also the home of the largest cancer cluster in our state. It is estimated to kill over a million fish a year in the Indian River bay. It is the NRG oil fired electric generation plant. If that's green, I'll take black thank you. ???

Re: Moving to TV in September - Need Advice on Golf Carts
Well, okay ,maybe not green, Bad choice of words.
The electric carts are quiet, and are odor free. They don't pollute :bigthumbsup: The gas carts are noisy and smelly. They do pollute. > IMHO: the electric carts are far better for our environment than the gas carts. We are so lucky to live in a community that is accessible by cart. I for one prefer to use the electric cart, that, in my mind helps in some small way to keep the air clean in TV.

Re: Moving to TV in September - Need Advice on Golf Carts
Hi,
I am a Village snowbird wannabe and this is my first time ever on Talk of the Villages. I live in Myrtle Beach, SC in an oceanside golf cart community. Most of the golf carts are made in the Augusta, Georgia area-Club Car, EZGo, and Yamaha. Our neighbor called Club Car last fall looking for a way to save money in buying a golf cart. The Club Car people referred him to a company in the area that reconditions Club Car carts of all types. He arranged to buy a cart for about $2000 less than a new cart. My husband went with him to Augusta to pick it up. When I first saw it, I thought it was a brand new cart. It was absolutely spotless and runs well. If you're able to haul a cart, this is something you might want to check out. |
