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.

I purchased a new golf cart two years ago from carts and clubs in Ocala. They were recommended to me by some friends. I did a spread sheet of items in the golf cart and found the same cart at the villages cost significantly more. Over a $1500 more for the same cart with options. I went with gas as I did not want to worry about battery life if driving long distances. At the time my cart cost me $15k. Recently I looked at golf carts outside the villages store in Brownwood and new carts were running over $20k It’s all in knowing your budget. Carts and clubs services your golf cart at your home. Good luck with your purchase.
