P.S. not on a budget,,Just dreaming, say if, Polaris made a golf course accepted cart..how advanced it would be, to justify the $15K plus..
Based purely on the simplicity of the design, bolt on technology of long ago proved simple systems...golf carts should sell for about 1/2 of what they are getting.

It all boils down to the manufacturers knowing their demographics well and recognizing that they can get away with selling them...at such outrageous/gouging prices.

As long as the ignorant will continue to pay...the prices will stay grossly inflated.
