My whole research is based on the Deluxe package at TV Carts. Got them 2 days ago. Can't believe they are cheaper now. Must have been really high.

Default Golf Cart Dealers

We purchased a 2008 EZGO from Town and Country and can't say enough
good things about them. We had some problems in the beginning and they
were very responsive and were reliable. In fact if you buy from them you can
stop by anytime and they will check the batteries, tires, etc. The guys
that work there can't be more responsive to your needs. We even had a
problem unrelated to the warranty, showed it to them and they fixed it
with some help from the manuf. and no charge.
Because of their great service I think I would always buy from them as they
truly stand by their product and make sure the customer is happy. It is
refreshing to see this in todays business.

To learn more about Jim just do a TOTV search using his last name to see what the people here think of him.

Many people from TOTV use him to rent a cart from but he also sells used ones.
Big thumbs up on Jim Followell. We bought a cart from him and it has been great.

We purchased from StaRite Golf Carts in Fruitland Park and can't say enough good things.

There is also a website where you can list your cart for free if you're trying to sell:

http://TheGolfCartGuide.com

We sold ours on there and then bought from StaRite.

In season he charges a little more, but $25/per day for 4 seater with 3 day minimum, all his carts have full curtains, etc....I think it was $15 /day for 2 seater. Know he has 1 month min. in season.

AS you proceed East on 466..if you take a left on 441/27 Cart World will be on your right hand side ( less than 1/2 mile). Cart World is an Authorized Club Car Dealer in the Area.

If you proced east on 466 and take a right on 441/27 Discount Golf Cart World will be on your left a couple of miles down the road BEFORE you reach OAKWOOD. If you miss them...just keep driving....you saved money, time and agrevation!

We bought a custom cart May 2010 from Golf Cart Connections. Monday of this week it died. We called them for service because it was still unnder waranty and the phone message said due to the bad economy they had to go out of business after 11 years. The message refered me to Extreme Golf carts for service. Called them and they told me they are only doing waranty repairs the New Freedom carts. I called Ken Spano and when they checked out the cart and found a major manufactoring mistake that caused the controller and motor to burn up. This repair is going to cost us over $1,000 to repair.
After checking out Extreme's phone number, it turns out it is a cell phone number. I would like to know if Connection just changed their name to avoid honoring waranties on their custom carts.

Biker -

I called them for general service on my golf cart and got the same message. They closed their Lady Lake store but their Mt Dora store is still in operation. Extreme is taking over servicing carts in our area for them. I see your dilemma and I would call their Mt Dora location and see what's up with their carts still under warranty.

Phil - Welcome to TOTV!!

To do a search, go towards the top of your screen and click on "Search".

Jim Followell's phone numbers are noted in post #10 of this thread. Call him and he can let you know where to find him.

Again, welcome!

Bill

I have the same question. Other golf cart businesses have been very negative
about this particular vendor. HOPE someone responds
