I have it for the cart we provide with our rental property and for my Wife's cart. I still do some business travel and if she's out while I'm away, I want her to have options.

As to the rental, I don't want to get a drunken call at 2am from a tenant stuck at the furthest part of Fenny(house is near SS).

For "My" cart, I have tow straps. I've needed it twice when a voltage regulator failed and the battery ultimately depleted. We flat towed it home and I fixed the cart.

I maintain my carts but a broken belt, dead battery or a handful of other things can't be predicted with 100% reliability.

Is it cheaper to do nothing and handle it when it fails? Definitely. Maybe not being on a fixed income alters my opinion of it but $60/year is chump change these days.
