Is there any clear definition of what is a "re-manufactured" or "re-conditioned" cart? Does Yamaha have anything to say about these?
One off-campus site claims they're expecting Yamaha to ship them "hundreds" of almost-new models just demo-ed at "a big PGA tournament" somewhere. (Nothing but a long hold calling Yamaha customer service.)
BUT, they add, there's no serial number, nor is there a factory-installed meter or gauge to measure hours on the cart, where others say BS.
Advice welcomed and thank you very much.
When we first moved here 15 years ago we bought a used cart from a Villager whose mother had used it and passed away. Still driving that gas Yamaha. DH has a new gas cart. He keeps mine serviced and gassed and I am one happy camper.
