The new carts that are 10k and under look awesome but I worry about quality and service.

Any help appreciated.

I have seen some interesting used carts. What is more important miles or hours? Is there a rule of thumb per year?
An electric golf cart has fewer parts than a gas cart so is inherently more reliable. An electric golf cart has a lower center of gravity so it won't overturn as easily as a gas cart. It handles better on turns. An electric golf cart is less expensive to operate and repair. an E-cart is quieter. With a GAS golf cart you are always SMELLING and handling gas cans, gas hoses, and waiting in lines at gas stations. And finally, (for those that care) an Electric golf cart is better for the ENVIRONMENT.
