Just delivered yesterday, used as-is. No dealer responsibility. Haven't had time to really dig into it yet. Someone thought tie-rods need to be snugged up or ends replaced. Need to jack it up and check for play on front end.
You may already have a voltage reducer or someone has picked up two batteries for 16V to run the lights (was like this on my cart). If you already have a 16-12V reducer you can tap that for the GPS. I do not know enough to say you can put the GPS on 16V without causing harm to the GPS. I know lights will work at 16V, but will run hot.

Here is the reducer I got http://www.buggiesunlimited.com/product.asp?sku=9020 . I believe it was around $150 when I bought it. I picked it up from Ken Spano, his price was about the same as I could find it online at the time.

As far as steering I still would look at toe and camber on the front tires. That should be done peridically. If the tires are not toed in slightly it will not stay on line.
