I have a 2021 Yamaha Quietech. We average 4,000 miles on it a year and it runs like new. I have asked different golf mechanic techs about the expected lifetime mileage or hours of my golf cart. They all said Yamaha carts will most likely outlast me and have had golf carts come in for maintenance with over 8,000 hours on them.

There are no manufacturers that offer a 15 year warranty on their battery. Yes, the battery should last that long, but the warranties are in the 5-8 year range.

Battery tech is changing quickly. As such, I expect to replace the battery when the 8 year warranty expires.

Annual maintenance is an oil change on mine. Have a 2020 and runs like brand new and still has original battery. Did change a belt 2 years ago, but probably not needed(mechainic talked me into it)

My wife will not part with her 1984 Royal Ride Club Car. Replaced the motor and charger a couple of years ago and other than batteries every 3ish years that has been the extent of any major expense.

You might want to consider a shot of grease in each of the clutches.

The battery in my 2019 needed to be replaced last year. Five years seems to be an average, YMMV.

I think one thing maybe the OP doesn't understand is that many people have several customizations added to their golf carts over a span of time where it's not like something that is easily replaced with a trade-in for a new one. I have a few add-ons on my cart that are not available on a new one so I would have to buy them all over again and have them installed.

I certainly wouldn't want to be reinstalling all that stuff every few years when my cart works just fine anyways.

Only different versions that I know of are two or 4 seats

Do you mean like the one they sell in The Villages for $21,000 vs the one they sell outside The Villages, that looks exactly the same, but sells for $5000 less?

2 Different models.

1 has a sticker that says "Village Golf Carts", the other does not.

We bought a refurbished 2007 Yamaha in 2011 for around $8000, and it still runs great. I have it serviced every spring, and use non-ethanol gas. Been through a few sets of tires, belts, plugs, rebuilt carb, etc, and the occasional battery. I've also added custom seats (replaced the original custom seats, and added a rear seat), LED's, splash fenders, and self cancelling turn signals.It has 50,000 miles on it. Have no plans to get rid of it

Just like my many past motorcycles, I will be farkling my cart. Looking forward to making it an extension of my personality.

We have a 1996 gas Club Car. It still runs great (a little slower than some of the new ones, lol)
We won’t get rid of it until it’s too costly to repair.

I have a 2015 Yamaha golf cart serviced annually. Runs great. New battery and tires is the only thing since purchased.
