2. Buy in TV from a dealer.
3. Buy outside TV - "Fast Eddie's" may not be a finalist.
4. Buy used - have on-site repair person or mechanic evaluate.
5. Buy Yamaha Gas - proven reliability
6. Buy EV lithium - Quiet, low maintenance, postpone TV from becoming "ocean front".
The internal battle is between "frugality, not over-spending, being taken advantage of" and "convenience". I can come up with a rationalization for each.
I am leaning towards Used, but need a recommendation on a mechanic or on-site service company to do the evaluation.
Thoughts on thinking or approaches welcome.

Gas or Electric, IMHO, I love that I can hit the gas station about once every 7-10 days. My 2016 Yamaha gets 50+/- MPG but some swear by batteries. If you get gas, the Yamaha quite tech 2 is the top of the line. When they say quiet tech, they mean it and the ride is much more comfortable. My only regret is I did not get a QT2. I saw some of these for <10k while looking for a friend… depending on number of seats, hours on the engine, etc. I live up north near the Savannah Center and have driven to Southern Oaks to play golf about an hour down, 4 hours on the course and an hour back and never thought twice about batteries dying.
