As always, responses are truly appreciated.
- What is required from the seller, other than a signed Bill of Sale?
- How do I make certain the seller actually owns the golf cart?
- Once I purchase a golf cart, what should I do? I understand I need insurance, but I don't know if I need to register the golf cart with FL or TV.
- When I need to service the golf cart, where should I go?
- Are there any other things I should do?

Dan,
Until I sold it two days ago, you were going to look at my cart when your arrive 1/11. Absent a lot of BS, here is what would/should have happend if you bought my cart:
1) A signed BOS would be OK except for the fact that I (or most others) have nothing to show ownership. IMHO it's a trust thy neighbor kind of thing!
2) After purchase the only thing I would recommend is that you get insurance. At the very least you should have liability Insurance. Not expensive but lots of peace of mind.
3) My Cart was serviced well for the past 5 years by "Ken Spano" a service Co. with a shop in Ocala. Prices are reasonable and they always stand behind their work. Would not hesitate to use them for an out of warranty Cart. Would also suggest semi annual service, especially for a Gas cart.
4) Don't hesitate to ask Seller for evidence of service history. If they haven't had it serviced or can't prove it, I'd go somewhere else.
Good Luck.
