I know it depends on a lot of factors, but if you were doing a search, and there was a field for the oldest you would buy, what year (is it 2010, 2005, etc)?
I guess it might depend on gas vs electric?
Thanks

As you will see there is no shortage of opinion. So for my two cents worth. Ours is eight years old purchased new. I wanted to buy used wife wanted new. Since she uses it far more than I do and I did not want to hear, I told your so, we bought new. We have fuel injection. Our neighbor has the same year carburetor and has needed to have the carburetor replaced. I don't think it is a matter of reliability but more the fact that it mostly sits in his garage unused.
The 2017 gas Yamaha is quieter than previous gas Yamahas. The major difference is added sound absorption material. If, you wish there are kits to add sound deadening to the older carts. The 2018 now has an oxygen sensor I expect it is for pollution control. Likely, as in a car it is another item that will need to be replaced within a time span.
I don't think there is any collectors value in an old golf cart but it might be amusing to know who HONESTLY still uses the oldest golf cart in the villages Mine is eight years old and not even a contender.
