I have not bought in Webster or looked there but I did just purchase at Carts and Clubs in Ocala from Dave Johnson and he was great to work with. I have a few posts on TOTV about the 2017 and the settings of the governor. There are some differences between buying in The Villages and Carts and Clubs. Nothing earth shattering but a few, some more major than others. Carts and Clubs sets the carts to 23, they have a ventilated windshield, they do not have the new valance style that The Villages has, they have a different wiring than The Villages, they do not lend loaner carts in Ocala, they do service at your home but you can also get serviced in The Villages if you sign a waiver if your cart is at 23. Ocala has a few different type enclosures including one that I relate to as like a shower curtain for people who have trouble rolling up the side curtains, it is bulky but very easy to use as you just slide it and fasten it. One difference that everyone should know if upgrading your seat is that Carts and Clubs gives you the full credit for not taking the "stock seat" when you upgrade your seat where The Villages charges you the full amount with no credit when you upgrade. You may save a bit more with Ocala but you get the convenience of the loaner while you wait for your cart to be built in The Villages. I liked some of the differences in Ocala but purchasing at either place is not that much different. Both the sales person in Ocala, Dave Johnson, and I dealt with Sal in Lake Sumter, were great people and know every detail of their product.
