Why have you eliminated The Villages Golf Carts from your list? They’re the biggest, most conveniently located, have the biggest inventory, and biggest service department for a reason. You’re making a rookie mistake.
About the only way to save meaningful money buying a cart is to buy one from a dealer quite a distance from The Villages and have it shipped in. But then, there’s that service convenience issue. And stick with one of the three major brands for sure—EZGo, Yamaha or Club Car.
And even though I’m a lifelong electric cart owner myself, The Villages has grown so huge that a stinky, noisy gas cart may be the only reasonable alternative.

I saved more than $2,000 buying from Country Village Power. I consider that "meaningful". Yes it was shipped in, from Webster, Florida, all of 30 minutes. As far as convenience, they come to my door.
No, I do not get a loaner. So far I haven't needed one.
Many like to say "you get what you pay for", and I agree with that. In the case of buying from The Villages Golf Cars. vs. Country Villages Power, what you are paying for is the convenience of buying in The Bubble, and getting a loaner if you need one.
I'm not sure driving a cart to the shop and dropping it off is more convenient than having someone come to my door. I guess that's a matter of personal opinion.
If I were buying a new cart today I would compare TVGC, Clubs and Carts in Ocala, and Country Villages Power. Price wouldn't be my only determinant, but if the dollars compared the way they did 4 years ago when I was buying, I'd still go with Villages Power. They saved me a considerable chunk of money, and their service and follow-up has been excellent. They've given me no reason to complain or be dissatisfied.
