Is new ($23,000+) the only real option? I’m surprised that there aren’t more used carts for sale.

Do most used carts get sold back to the local dealerships?

Does anyone know (as a percentage) the proportion of electric vs. gas carts in The Villages?

Thanks for any insights.
Units is current operation? I'd guess it's at least 20:1 Gas, maybe more.

Sale of New Carts? Probably 10:2 Gas

Electric Lithium didn't really become practical and available, until the last 3-4 years. 2 years ago, ClubCar didn't even offer Lithium as an available option.

Just a guess, but I suspect anyone who needs to sell an Electric Cart, has a list of friends and neighbors who want it.
