Another option would be try shopping at Target. From what I've seen, their prices are close to that of Walmart and they have a much friendlier policy towards customer service.

I am wondering where you got the figure of $450 without insurance. The chair you pictured cost over $3,000, new, with the possibility of getting one for half that price on e-bay.
The cheapest scooter Hoveround has is a three wheeled scooter (not chair) for $799. (This is a
flimsy 3-wheel scooter.)
You can shop around used scooter places and find some affordable scooters, but you must be concerned about the condition of the electric motors and batteries.
The problem for the original poster in getting a personal scooter is that it is apparently not needed full time, and having one removes the ability to use the golf cart to ride to the store. I, too, have had problems getting a scooter at Wal-Mart.
