And a truck? Unless you plan to run a construction company here I'd sell that one, too.
Another factor to consider is vehicle color. If you are here for the summer, you would want a car, truck, or golf cart to be a light color like white or silver so that you don't burn your hand after the vehicle sits in the sun. Also, something to think about is the degraded vision of the drivers around you in TV Land. Look sometime at a dark green Yamaha golf cart coming toward you from a distance, if they don't have their lights on during the day, they are hard to see. Same thing is true for other dark colors. So, for maximum personal safety, you should plan on not having dark colors and try to have a bright yellow golf cart and a light color car or truck. I know that many people like the looks of a BLACK vehicle, but that can get you hurt in TV Land ----- the land of poor eyesight.
.........If you have a favorite dark color car, maybe paint it a lighter color when you get to The Villages.
