Default Golf cart rabbit hole

Their price was very good so I immediately put down a $500 deposit on it. I originally planned to buy it stripped down and customize it myself, but their quotes on many of the additional add on features was exactly what I would have paid for the parts and the labor was included in the cart set up fee. My only disappointment was that I wanted a clear (non tinted) folding windshield that has the vents on the bottom section and the vented windshield is only available on a tinted windshield. When we arrived in The Villages after Christmas the cart was in the shop being set up, two days later it was ready for us to inspect before delivery. Everything on the cart was perfect and it was delivered the next day to our home in the Villages. They just came to our home a couple days ago to do the initial 30 hour oil change and service, which was complimentary. We saved approximately $3,500 from buying from the Villages and didn’t have a long wait for the cart. We were lucky to get a 2022 since the 2023 model year is identical except for over a $1,000 price increase. They also gave us a 2% price discount for paying with a check instead of a credit card and threw in a few freebies including two extra keys, a floor mat, and hubcaps. We would highly recommend them and definitely use them again. Good luck with your cart search.
On the day of our closing last week we drove down to check out that Country Village Power that I had seen mentioned here in a very positive light, just as part of our "exploration". We enjoyed the sales lady and I was most impressed with the young general manager. The wifey quickly signed off on the price based on the significant difference between it and the other place where we'd looked. 6-8 weeks (going with one already there that required only customization). She needs the adjustable seats for her short legs. No loaner for the interim, but my golf game isn't yet ready for public consumption, anyway. Gonna need to wear that Mickylee place out for awhile. My new "lanai driving range" looks to already be paying off, too, though. :-) Anyway, they'll deliver and come here for service. Seemed to be the type of people that I can do business with.

BTW, saw a cart the other day (I *love* seeing all these pretty carts) that had brightly colored "bag straps". Must have me some. :-)
