I've been surprised that the 4 Villages Golf Carts shops are still charging quite a lot for their Yamaha gas carts with this competitor so close. I bought my Yamaha cart from TV new in 2011 and fully loaded including Ultimate Seats, a black roof, SS wheels, 2 sand bottles, large mirrors, etc and it was $10,300. I think presently it would probably cost about $13,000 to purchase the same thing from them.

I see the Villages Discount Golf Store all the time because I drop my wife off next door at Victoria's Hair once a month. They seem to have really great prices and it sounds like a great place for options that you normally don't see elsewhere.

For those who don't realize how much the Yamaha carts are marked up in The Villages, you can get a brand new 2016 Yamaha Gas Cart from Cunningham Carts in Kentucky delivered to you for $5,495. That's a completely stripped down model you would find on a golf course, just like the picture below. I had checked these guys out back in 2011 and came close to buying then but didn't because of the convenience of buying from The Villages and their prices were not quite out of sight yet. Cunningham does offer options that they can add such as headlights and tailights for $300, folding windshield for $150, etc.. They haven't listed the 2017 models on their website yet.
