Just make sure, if you're buying "outside the bubble" to compare "apples to apples"...

Are you comparing a cart with slightly upgraded seats to one with El Tigre seats (much more $$$)?

Does it have the same other "bells and whistles" that are pretty much standard when buying from TV or Cars & Clubs"?

Some don't care about those things. To others they are very important.

My first cart was a used 2013 Yamaha cart (originally purchased from Carts and clubs). It had upgraded seats with arm rests, but the were only "so-so" comfortable.

I kept it about 16 months.

Then, I bought a used 2017 QuieTech Yamaha with high back El Tigre seats, LED running lights, overhead tray, locking dash (originally sold by TV).

MUCH more comfortable, better suspension, quieter. I'm very happy with the upgrade
