It is a pretty big question, so I suggest you first check out some similar threads. The best way IMO is to use google.com to search TOTV. In the search box at google.com enter something like:
site:talkofthevillages.com buying used golf cart
This will bring up some pretty good threads on the subject. Play around with the search phrase to suit your needs. The local paper has carts for sale all the time, but you need to build a short list of your requirements IMO.
Like I said, it is a tough question, as it is really up to you and what you like.
Good luck.
PS. What a shock that The Villages golf cart store wanted to sell you a Yamaha gas, who would have thunk it
