The bells and whistles that I wanted would wind up costing just about the same adding them to a used cart as the cart I purchased new, loaded as I wanted. My bells and whistles on my 2016 electric Yamaha include....

1) Steering wheel with self canceling directionals. This steering wheel also includes high beams for the head lights. That alone was worth the price of the upgraded steering wheel. Those brights light up the road and path like brights on an automobile. Of course, I kick down the brights when another cart approaches me in the opposite direction.

2) Upgraded bucket seats which a have a great lumbar support. I can take those big bumps in the road and not feel a thing and no jarring to my back. Wonderful firm comfortable support and with nice long arm rests.

3) Solid windshield. We don't play golf. We just play.

4) Locking trunk where the golf clubs would go. This is very valuable to me.

5) Auto water fill system for the batteries.

6) Shelf in the front of the cart.

7) Liquid lights on both front bumpers which were included by the dealer.

8) Roof painted the same color as the body of the cart.

9) 10" tires with upgraded wheels (they have a red emblem on them to match our red cart)

10) Some kind of system that maintains the top speed even when going up hill. (it works too)

Recalling the Seinfeld episode where Jerry gets his car back smelling bad from the Valet I would opt for new or at least new seats, especially when carts are driven in hot and humid climates for lengthy periods of time, many by overweight drivers who wear out the support in the seats as well.
