Having bought 3 carts now, one refurbished, one used private sale, and one dealer new, I would buy a low cost private sale gas Yamaha if I was looking for my first cart again. A gas Yamaha seems to run forever, very few problems, no distance or night driving concerns and fairly available. I own both gas and electric and they each have the good points and bad points.

I would drive this cart for a year or so, then if I wanted to upgrade I would know by then what I really wanted. You will also know your driving habits and requirements. Will you drive it to work everyday? Drive home from work and want to go play golf? With gas you can do that.

You can find really nice ones for around $4000 and can sell it a year or two later for $3500 or so. You can find even older ones that might need a little work for around $2500.

For driveway service, I like Ken Spanos.
