I bought 2 carts from them in DEC 2006. "rebuilds"
1 was 2 seater - elec, 2003
Nice sunbrella covers; they threw in a mesh shopping back for back, and it had the usual mirrors & cooler (6pk)
other 1 was 4 seater; with beautiful paint job, radio, overhead fan, hi-speed.
Problem was the 4 seater wouldn't get me 5 miles before crapping out.
They took it back 3 times trying to understand why but never figured it out and I understand they ended up tearing it apart and rebuilding it.
IN EXCHANGE they gave me another 4 seater (2004) with hi-speed IQ motor, sunbrella cover (the original 4 seater didn't have any side curtains.).
Anyway the 2 cost me $12k.
They also offer a 5 year warranty as long as you do their semi-annual maintenance.
They have a new young maintenance manager "Berlin" who has taken pretty good care of me. When I've needed light bulbs, as long as I want to make the trip there I've gotten them for free. I cracked a frame around a headlite and it really screws up the aim. He also gave me a new frame (but I have to put it in). When the brakes were 'acting up' on the 2 seater, they took care of it no charge.

The batteries must've been pretty cheapo's tho' cuz on the 2 seater I need to replace them already (2 year, 2 months). I only get about 10-15 miles out of a charge. That's going to cost me $639 from Discount Golf Cart World.

Personally, right now I'd buy one of the new EZGO RSV's if I only needed 1 cart.
I think they're attractive and they're talking 60 miles per charge.
Just remember, if you ride an electric wide open all the time that'll reduce the miles
