Gainesville for example also has numerous dealerships that sell new carts for prices several thousands of dollars under what the local merchants charge, and renting a U-haul for a couple of hundred bucks to ferry one back from Gainesville is a cheap price to pay for a legitimate deal.

We're victims ONLY if we choose to be victims. Enough people shopping afield for realistically-priced golf carts will drive down the prices around here right quick.
Those $9000 (actually $9999) carts at Walmart (I think you mean Home Depot) are garbage. They can't get out of their own way and have a very limited range...
