[QUOTE=John_W;403097]A new 2012 gas Yamaha from the Villages Golf shop will run from $8800 to $11,500 fully loaded, which means radio and the works.

I just went through this on the 4th of July I bought a new 2011 solid Black Yamaha gas model from The Villages dealer with gold pin striping and a black sun shade, it was reduced $600 to $8200 year end closeout plus an upgraded carbon fiber dash included. I added everything but the radio and speedometer and it hit about $10,000 plus tax. That included having the roof painted black $295, Ultimate Seats with armrests $1,495, gas gauge $89, SS wheels (a nice option for $120), sand bottle $39, big folding mirrors $32, running lights on the side $90, grocery bag $49, LED rear light bar $89. Other golfers have told me multiple times it's the best looking Yamaha they have seen. Electric has it's advantages, but the gas model will probably be the last one I'll ever have to buy and no putting out $800 for batteries in 3 or 4 years.

We did this around the same time this year with The Villages Golf Cars and love our new carts. Got the ultimate seats so comfy! (a must if you drive to town a lot like we do), gas gauge, breezy easy a/c ,curtis cab doors and a host of things LOVE IT! Love the new car smell LOL

We didn't go the "find a deal" route as I wanted a car that I can count on and the 5 year warranty helps.

BTW some questions were asked if the Curtis Cab is too hot in the heat. IMHO I do not notice it at all and when it began to drizzle the other night on the way to LSL we just closed the doors and turned on the A/C without stopping. You do have to get used to the blind spots while driving but that takes all of 5 minutes
