This is NOT true with The Villages Golf Cars. If you:
a) Did not purchase your cart from them or
b) Purchased a used cart from someone that had originally bought it from them
They often will not sell you parts. It depends on their stock. Right now it is hard to get an OEM Yamaha drive belt for a Drive 2. When I went to The Villages Golf Cars, I was told they had them in stock, but since I did not purchase my cart originally from them it was not available to me. Their stock was limited and they were saving them for their customers that had directly purchased a cart from them. Interestingly however, I could bring my cart in and they would install it for me (they wanted $100 for the belt, and another $50-$70 to "check" my cart and install it.
I ran into the same thing with the new stiffener plate designed to fix the belt life issues. They only had them for their current customers. But, again, I could bring my cart in and for a $100 they would let me know if they could do it. It's a freakin $20 part that takes 10 minutes to install!
