Tax ~$1100
Total out the door $18500 - delivery in October (and I see people in this thread saying delivery for new is now January)
A used 2018 one from The Villages Golf Cars was a base of $12495, the accessories, etc. were the same price. Out the door $15800.
Village Discount started at $16000 for a 2019. (They buy golf carts from golf courses, or that were used on pro tours, recondition them, and add on all the goodies to make them suitable for Villager use.) We got them down to $15000.
My take was that for new, there wasn't much difference in price between The Villages Golf Cars and the other local dealers, and used/reconditioned was within a couple thousand dollars of new.
With The Villages Golf Cars you build a cart from scratch. With some of the other dealers, you take what they have "on the lot". It's up to you whether a fully custom cart is worth a couple grand vs the time to have the new cart delivered.

That whole spiel about Village Discount carts being used only a few hours in a pro golf tournament is nonsense. This is was posted elsewhere:
These were leased golf carts that we bought from Yamaha who had leased them to golf courses. Fleet golf carts don’t have hour meters on them. So basically it means nobody knows how many hours they had on them. All I can tell you is we totally refurbish them and put a 5 year warranty on them for your peace of mind.
