We do have a gas Yamaha that we bought new 2014. My opinion-the cost is simply outrageous. It is essentially a riding lawn mower. Annual service at The Villages Golf Cart-spark plug,
oil change (1 qt) and air filter is $100 there is no oil filter. Probably no need to change the air filter every year. Compare that cost to your car.
No need to change air filter and spark plug for years. I have over 13,000 miles on my spark plug and the air filter. The 1st year the dealer did their annual tune-up and I requested the "old" plug and filter. Still looked new. When I need these to be replaced again I will use the original parts saved.
