I agree that there has to be a large profit margin for what one gets in a golf cart. That being said, if you try to buy a new golf cart these days you will quickly find out they are very short on inventory and you will most likely be waiting months before your purchase is actually available. Basic supply and demand economics results in higher prices when supply is limited and demand is strong. For us, it’s hard to not want really nice golf carts in the Villages, we use them almost exclusively, our car can sit for weeks at a time without moving. Sometimes I take the car out for a ride for no other reason than to circulate some fresh gas through the fuel delivery system and prevent the tires from getting flat spots. I really want to upgrade our perfectly fine 2014 Yamaha EFI to a new quiet-tech, so our aging backs can benefit from the fully independent rear suspension, but I am too cheap to justify a $10,000 upgrade for only one feature I desire that’s not in our 2014. Drive on : )
