Then you aren't looking very hard. The one I just installed today was $125 after coupon, first year free and $20 YEAR (not month) thereafter. There was some under $100 with 2yrs included and there was some for $60 year after first year.
Waterproof GPS Tracker with backup battery for theft/recovery

There are 15% coupons floating around the web which I used. I wouldn't deal with the eBay ones for $30. They use Verizon (no extra charge) to communicate for updates, texts etc + obviously GPS for tracking.

They are not CONTINUOUS LIVE where you look at a moving dot on a map but poll the vehicle every 5 minutes but can be set to continuous polls or more or less than every 5 minutes. Number of polls is unlimited. You then look at list of poll results and/or a map to track with speeds etc. You can set notifications when vehicle is moved, driven, towed or the device tampered with etc. Also provides outputs to shut down engine etc. If I was tracking my wife I'd look at the continuous polling models but they are more expensive and unnecessary for a golf cart.

This is an example of the report (I hadn't installed it yet, device just sitting on my desk with a power supply)
