If you HVAC is due for replacement about every 10-15 years you might save $6,500 for 10-15 years.

It is not easy South of the turnpike to go north by golf cart. The bridge across the turnpike is not open and depending on where you live south of the turnpike you might have a 10-15 golf cart ride from the bridge. For example Monarch Grove.
WOW ! Villages is a nice community but that's really starting to defeat the whole purpose of going almost anything without constant fuel expenses of a car, constant auto rides into "town" for things, etc. Personally would probably have regrets if we did that..... and we've thought about it of course !
