Thank-you all. My purchase is now complete, with delivery when we close on our home purchase.

I have a 2014 Yamaha gas, bought it 4 years ago used. Previous owners bought it from Carts and Clubs refurbished 2 years prior. It currently has over 7000 miles on it and runs perfectly. I'll maybe upgrade to a 2021 model if I find a good deal this summer (under $7000 for fully loaded).

In my opinion, all extended warranty are a waste of money. Be self insured and overtime you will be ahead.

A name brand golf car will last forever with the right eyes looking at it. Properly maintained and like many have said 10 to 20 years no problem.

I would not get an extended warranty. I have a gas Yamaha going on 20+ years. I have it serviced annually for $100. My repair costs have been for tires, battery, and I had seat belts installed (a must have).

I thought when I came here 10 years ago I would buy a new cart every 5 years. My original Yamaha is still going strong and have no plans to replace.

We bought our home 4yrs ago and included was a 2010 Yamaha Gas cart. Still runs great. Change oil each yr and just put in new battery.

My 2013 4 seater, with cooler under the rear seat, Yamaha has been my workhorse. +17k miles and runs like a clock.
My Sunday Yamaha gas cart I trade about every 4 years because I enjoy new. At my age I can't take it with me.

We moved here last year and purchased a used 2020 gas cart.
My relative moved here in 2006 and is still driving her 2006 gas cart.

I wouldn't bother with the extended warranty. I bought a new gas Yamaha in 2011 and it still looks and runs like new. Annual maintenance is a good idea to keep it that way.

I have a 2 Yamaha’s, 2016 and 2017, both run great. Hope your extended warranty is $50 or it’s not worth it. I can’t remember what the last non maintenance item was on either of them. They just don’t break. A new belt here, maybe something else minor there… and in the first 4 years I doubt nothing goes wrong.

I agree with the independent suspension, my 2016 does not, the 2017 QT2 does… much easier on the back going over speed bumps and the curbs at all the security gates with the 2017. My 2016 we joke it’s the off road cart and it has a Curtis cab. The 2017 is 4 passenger. I am having heavy duty shock put on it… 4 adults, the body rubs. Kids in the back no problem.
