I think my point about The Villages Cart Store and their data was that I'll bet if you went to Columbia Par Car and got their stats it would be different. Each store specializes. One in gas, one with electric. I think specialization keeps the costs down for the Villages Cart Store. And the fact that they can sell so many gas carts, I'm sure, lowers their per cart price from the manufacturer significantly. With the reputation of the Yamaha electric vs. their gas cart I doubt they would even sell many Yamaha electric. Sticking with one manufacturer and mostly one product must cut their bottom line. No?
