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.
In my humble opinion I recommend getting a new cart from the villages golf cart store in Brownwood. They will give you a loaner for free until your cart is ready. Don’t by used or reconditioned. You may pay a little more on the base price but they only charge for the parts for all the extras. So if your adding extras your cart will be the same cost or cheaper. I recommend you ask for Ron Morse (no relation to the Morse family). The guy spends a lot of time with you and has a keen eye for design. And truly a nice guy with no pressure added.
