Thanks
People can be hard on rental vehicles and these carts probably went through a number of renters and a lot of hours.

On the other hand, EZ-Go is one of the better manufacturers, 2020 is a fairly new cart, and if this is the Villages Golf Cars then they have a reputation to maintain. If the carts came with a one-year warranty and the options you want then I would not feel uncomfortable buying one.

Do you need to wait until October to look for private sales? There are the classifieds on this site and there ought to be other sites to look at to at least get a feel for the details of a private sale. $6K for a 2020 might be high relative to private sales. A private sale won't come with a warranty and you don't know what kind of service it has received but it would not have needed much service in that time. A vehicle from a private sale might have fewer hours/miles than a rental also.
