We bought two Atlas golf carts. No issues and good customer service.

Check out Botero Carts in Ocala. They sell and service for The Villages. A new Evolution D5 Ranger will cost $10k less than nearly anything else you can buy, and have more features. I have 3,500 miles on mine and love it.

Cart World in Lady Lake Club Cars have aluminum frame, good quality.

We bought ours from Wholesale Golf Carts just outside the Villages. So did our neighbors. Extremely satisfied. They have a great guarantee and then if your cart ever needs service you only pay for parts no labor, they will also pick up and deliver no cost. Very easy to work with, highly recommend.

I have been told that if you want electric get a Club cart, if you want gas get Yamaha

Just make sure they service electric carts after you buy them! We have friends who bought one only to find out the dealer they bought it from didn't service them and when they had a problem with the cart, they had to call around finding someone to service it. Big headache and took weeks to get their cart back with added expense of a rental during that time.

To save a $, how are you going to get your cart into the place for service? Are you going to have them pick up your cart from Ocala if so how much are they going to charge you just for pickup and return? When using the villages, I could drive my cart there for service and they would give ma a loaner, every time. Even electric carts needs servicing

To clarify, you don't have to get it as an LSV (Low Speed Vehicle).

It's only an LSV if you actually ordered it with a VIN ($$) and then registered it with the DMV ($$) and got full insurance ($$$).

Most folks will purchase these as a simple golf cart without all of the added expense to use it as an LSV and will get golf cart insurance (far cheaper).

Do you have to buy a new one? There are a lot of secondhand ones on TOTV and, apart from replacing the batteries, they seem to last a long time - my wife's EZ-GO is over twenty years old and runs like a dream.

I like my ParCar but getting it serviced is a pain as third party mechanics find it hard to get the parts.

I would recommend you look at the Atlas 210ah cart at One Stop.

My buddy just bought one of these with the 210ah battery. He paid $17,000. Could have had an Evolution D5 Ranger with a 205ah battery for $11,000 and would have gotten a LOT more features. He rode in mine and kept saying "I wish mine had that".

The Atlas rides well, but there are just too many things I look at and say "why the hell did they design it like this?".

You can get a 210ah Atlas gen2 cart for about $13K on sale. Keep an eye out.

We ordered our Evolution from Hidden Creek. It just came in and we have a FaceTime walk around tomorrow. They offered the most add on options and the Evolution was the most cost effective compared to the other electric brands we checked. For $15 k we got a 4 forward Ranger plus with just about every bell and whistle available. A Star or EZ Go would have been at least $22K for similar.
