Hi Cooterbrown,
Welcome to TV and to Talk of the Villages! You'll love it here!
I don't know about Fairplay carts. Make sure whatever you get is "Villages ready". That would include sunbrella, headlights and turn signals, 20 m.p.h. speed, rear mirrors, basket, a build-in cooler and (if you're a golfer) sand holder and golf-club cleaning.
Another issue on gas vs. electric is that gas carts hold their speed on hills. I've read that some electrics are better than others in this regard. Take a test drive.
Remember that in TV, you'll probably find yourself using your golf cart as a main source of transportation, whether for shopping, dining, recreation or entertainment within TV. So get something that will last.
Please post again and let us know what you think of the Fairplay carts after you check them out. I'd be anxious to hear a review.
All best wishes!
