The saga continues...........
I traded the 4 passenger yamaha cart back in to TV yamaha and bought a brand new 2010 gas yamaha back in April. The cart is great and so is the service you get from TV Golf Cars.
My wifes rebuilt gator-colored, refurbed cart from DISCOUNT GOLF CART WORLD broke down again a few weeks ago. It was the third time the V-Glide burned out and would need replaced. We have had enough with this expensive pile of junk they sold us and had them take it back to the shop for repairs. My wife did not want to see it again!
Not wanting to get it repaired again and selling it to someone else or trading in a junky cart to anyone else, we decided to trade it in at a huge loss to Discount G.C.W. for one of the 2 "new" Yamaha gas carts they had on the floor.
They delivered the cart and ordered the curtains,covers etc. (3 weeks ago) and will install them (I hope-maybe??) this friday.
The first day I got the cart I heard a loud rattle noise and called them up. Bill, the salesman tried to tell me this was a normal sound (not) and I told him to let service know about it.
After a week of not getting a call I had TV Golf Cars pick it up for repairs (4 yr warranty on new cart)
The secondary clutch spring needed to be replaced, but they said my name was not on the warranty. I paid the $100 and said I would take it up with Discount G.C.W.
I contacted Yamaha corporate offices in Georgia and found out that Claude (Discounts owner) purchased it from Brewers Sales and service in Lake Wales on March 25th and was registered to him as of that date. They went on to say that in order to have the warranty in my name I would need to go to an authorized Yamaha dealer (like TV) and pay to have it inspected and if no high speed gears were installed (they are) the warranty could be transferred.
So I went back to Discount G.C.W. and spoke with my salesman (Bill) and explained my findings. I went on to say that the only way I see that it could be transferred in my name is if the owner (Claude) contacts Brewers sales (authorized Yamaha Dealer) and has the warranty transferred to my name. I also gave him a copy of the bill for the secodary clutch spring that would have been under warranty if in my name.
So now I am waiting for my seat covers, side covers, mirrors, sand bottle kit, cooler kit, pin-striping and moulding trim as well as an answer about my warranty.
The sharp looking blue and orange 2 passenger cart we owned is now parked in front of the business on rt 441, so if you are looking at it....BEWARE!
There is a very sharp contrast between The Villages Golf Cars and Discount Golf Cart World. We are VERY HAPPY with TV Golf Cars and recommend you purchase from them. TV are professional and stand behind what they sell.
Additional info: I was told they are to be getting 5 more new gas yamaha carts coming in. They are NOT NEW if they are registered in someone elses name! If they are new, you will get a cerificate of origin and warranty card from Yamaha....BEWARE.
