Grace is correct, the Yamaha gas carts are reliable and relatively care free. Every Yamaha gas cart from 2008 until now looks virtually identical. Get a 5-10 year old cart, add the upgrades you want, keep it well maintained and invest the difference. If you are determined to buy electric, and there is nothing wrong with that, get one with new batteries, or get a good discount to buy new ones. Electric carts are also durable and will last a long time with proper care.
