We could wait a couple of months to see if things get better but they might get worse. Any thoughs?

We just move here to the Villages and the Golf Cart was the last purchase on the list.
It'll take a while for supply to catch up with demand. TV Golf Carts has no rentals because they were all loaned out to people who bought and are waiting months and months for delivery.

Used carts are snapped up in days (if not hours)...

My advice? If you see a nice used cart, be prepared to make a cash offer ASAP!

We missed on several used carts this past Summer before finally finding one that fit the bill. Now, older carts are going for close to $1000 more than we paid for our cream puff...
