When these carts are returned ot Yamaha, they become refurbished. These are more of a crap shoot, some would be fine, some are probably pretty worn out.
You hit the nail on the head, buying a refurbished cart is playing golf cart roulette. Sometimes the outcome is favorable and other times it’s not. I guess it’s up to the buyer to determine if the risk of buying refurbished versus new is worth the cost savings. Just be aware, many people using a golf cart that they don’t own on a golf course tend to not treat them very well. Based on some of the things I’ve observed over the years, I’ll go with a new golf cart.
