Word to the wise - when dealing with ParCar, make sure you get everything in writing. Our cousins and us each bought a new parcar in 2008. They've had bad luck with theirs, the axle broke and the left rear wheel came off going thru the Caroline tunnel, then they had to replace their batteries and then the charger. ParCar prorated the batteries and charged them over $500.00 for the new ones. This all occured during the past twelve months. Last month we noticed our batteries were not charging correctly, had it taken to the service center where we were told they were bad, I got all new batteries at no charge. Great for me, bad for my cousin who bought his on the same day we got ours. The difference is that our salesman put on the sales contract that the batteries were covered at 100% for the first three years and then were prorated. Because this wasn't on our cousins contract, they would not refund his money. I believe this is very poor business and that they sould be taken to court on it, but that's my cousins fight. Just be careful when dealing with parcar..... Other than the battery problem our cart has been great and we do like it and routinely put over 50 miles a day on it when we are at TV, which is around five months a year.
