You will likely never know. The vast majority of used carts sold in the Villages started life as a fleet cart, and they don't come with an hours meter. In fact, if you are looking at a cart that has one, that's a good way to know it's always been a "personal transportation vehicle", and the mileage is low, regardless of what the meter says.

When I realized I could buy a new Yamaha "PTV" outside the bubble for the same price as a 2-year-old converted fleet cart inside, I gave up looking for a used one. But you won't find one of either of those for $9K anywhere. For a couple of years, until I replaced my Ford Edge, my Yamaha was the most valuable car I owned. It's unbelievable the price they get for these stupid little go-carts.
