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.

#1- Any new golf cart will probably last longer than you
#2- The Villages golf cart sales dealership sells so many carts they are the only ones to get the latest and best configurations
#3- Even if you pay $1,000 more over ten years of expected use (most people believe they will live another ten years regardless of how old they are) the cost is minimal
And, #4- Yamaha Gas
Note: Buying used from an individual would be a last resort - “if it sounds too good to be true, it isn’t “
