I recently sold my electric cart and purchased a rebuilt 2013 Yamaha gas cart. The electric came with the house.

1 month here and it needed new batteries ($650) - couldn't even make it to Lake Sumter and back from Lopez. The new batteries were awesome - could easily drive to Brownwood from Lopez, play 18, and drive back with only 25% battery gone.

3 months later, the F/R switch went - I replaced it myself at a cost of $130.

1 year later, and the controller went! This was expensive!! $900.

I was afraid that the charger would go next (another $500), or the motor itself, so I sold it. Although I did love the quiet, smooth ride... I didn't like the thought that I couldn't trust this particular cart

For anyone looking, I found a guy that offers rebuilt 2013 Yamaha gas golf carts at a great price. It offers the high speed gear, has the larger mag wheels, a 12v receptacle, Sunbrella roll up shades, choice of dash color, bolstered seats in ANY color you want (mine are Tangerine and Navy Blue), and painted ANY color you want (he does the painting himself - mine is Candy Tangerine). It comes with a 1 year warranty... and he charges $6,000 for all this!! My cart looks fantastic (I'm a Bears fan), and took about 2 weeks to get. The business is called Custom Cart Creations & More - Billy is the owner (352) 551-4549.
