I've been involved in buying or leasing, close to 1000 of them ... how many have you bought?
Call around to Private Golf courses and ask them what kind of carts they have. I doubt you'll find 10% of the private clubs use Yamaha golf carts.
Before Lithium batteries were available, gas Yamahas were a reasonable choice for The Villages. Since Lithium Batteries, the world has changed. According to a reasonable source (who works there), the Developer owned Golf Cart operation is now selling 2:1 battery to gasoline and Star Sirius is their best seller.
I'm sure the legacy gas Yamahas will be around TV for a few more years, but they're fading fast. I think the ClubCar is vastly superior to the Star Sirius (I have a Sirus), but ClubCar doesn't seem to focusing on the off-course market.
