Some of the refurbished Yamahas for sale look good, and maybe they are good, but I’m not interested in a jazzed up used fleet/golf rental Yamaha..
Apologies in advance if this topic has already been covered!)
Thanks!

I bought a cart from The Villages Discount Golf Carts and I was led to believe it was a fleet cart. Other than the lack of an hour meter, I can't tell any difference.
I put three busy years on it before getting a second cart. For me, that was about 4,000 total miles. It runs well, getting very close to 50mpg. There are no rattles or squeaks. The suspension is comfortable and felt good when I purchased it though now it feels stiffer than my EZGo. As a 2019 model it is very quiet - a bit louder than an electric cart but still easy to talk in.
I have changed the belt and the battery but feel that was just normal 5-year maintenance. Other than that, an oil change each year along with wiping off the clutch plates and a shot of grease is the only thing it has required.
It was a used cart but I am very happy with it. Others may have had different experiences.
