Take your time. There are at least 10 fairly large vendors for golf carts plus for sale by owner. Specially seats can be added to most brands. Golf cart stores owned by The Villages are a little higher priced, but are more convenient. There are golf cart services that come to your home. Gas or electric is up to you. I like gas because if you run out or forget to fill it, you can go get gas in your car and be on your way in minutes. Forget to charge and you are going nowhere for hours. On the other hand electric is quieter. Most carts have been altered to go 20 mph, a large number have been altered to go more than legally allowed. Make sure you know the risks and benefits. New standard carts with side curtains start at around $8500 and go up from there. There are many options and a fully decked out cart with specialized seating can approach $14000. Shop around. Decent used carts start at about $4000 and are about 8 years old. There is a big difference in a cart used by snowbirds and year around residents. You can buy a used cart and add the special seat. Take your time.
