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.
Like most things to buy or to wait and it will, it might go down, it is a matter of OPINION.

The first IMPORTANT question is do you need a car or a golf cart? Possible reason, don't have one now, accident, worn out etc.

Endless news about inflation. Will it stop, slow down? Again a matter of opinion.
If, I knew the answers my phone would be ringing off the hook for advice. I have to cut this short WARREN BUFFET is calling ME for my OPINION.

As far as the mentioned Atomic Golf carts I do not know much about them. You need to ask about whether you can use them on the golf courses. Parts availability, service availability etc. A major selling point is that they have air conditioning. They are battery powered. AC requires a lot of power so running the AC will cut back on the range on a charge.

We have a Yamaha EFI that is 9 years old and use it full time. So far so good. Teasing a bit. A used golf cart listed as used by a little old lady. Average age in the villages is 70.
