Folks will spend weeks, trying to find a way to save $500 when they buy a $50,000 automobile (1%), but they're perfectly willing to "do business locally" and pay $22,000 for a $17,000 golf cart, because of the "convenience factor" of buying on campus.
The next time one you experts needs service on your golf cart or need to buy a new cart, try your "system" at Village Golf Carts and see how it works out for you.
Everyone seems to understand the supply & demand dynamic and the realities of "services" when it comes to golf carts, but common sense flies right out the window when talking about automobiles.

I don't know much about buying a golf cart, but when buying an automobile, an uninformed buyer will typically pay about $3,000 to $4,000 more than an informed buyer. I highly recommend researching the vehicle's fair value on KBB.com and Edmunds.com before visiting a dealership. And, be aware of bogus dealer fees and add-ons that all dealers try to con you into paying for.
