Everyone seems so quick to defend the on-campus golf cart sellers, because they're convenient and will provide "after the sale support" and then go on to justify the $4000-$5000 premium you have to pay for that convenience.

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.
My guess is those same people you referenced will be the same people attending the Travel Show at Brownwood!
