The Villages Golf Cars will not sell a belt to you if you didn't buy your cart from them - even if you bought a 2nd hand cart that was sold by them. They will install one for you though - at the cost of the belt + appointment fee + installation charge. It ends up costing someone who is not under their 5 year warranty around $150-$175 for a belt. Poor business practice, I would never purchase a cart from them going forward after how they treat folks that aren't under their umbrella.

If you need a belt, order a couple from Partzilla. OEM Yamaha belts are only $31 each. They often take several months to get as they are out of stock a lot, but I always ordered two a time, and when I got down to 1, order another two.
