So all of you customers out there buying your golf carts online or out of state, take a mechanics course, get the tools, manuals, parts and so forth... (you too granny).

Jimbo, if you're sending your food back to the restaurant kitchens, you may be wasting your time trying to eat healthy.

Nice find.

Or pay about twice that local, is that correct?
Jimbo, that's impressive!!! I spent a good bit of time perusing the site you linked. Great find.

Not at all, all the local dealers would love to work on my cart. They get to bill Yamaha for warranty work, do you really think they care where you bought it? I'll give you a hint, they don't.

I myself Love to play in the garage and I have trust issues. You couldn't pay me to have someone else put a wrench on any of my vehicles.

That said after 1 year no issues with my cart at all. Only wrench on it was for an oil change :-)

So how do you keep the rain and cold from coming in the cart between the bottom of the windshield and the cart hood, do you use a swimming noodle?

So Sad.

They are a great p;rice but he can't ship them to TV. The following quote is from Knightrides. "I am not supposed to ship new ones to another dealers area. Especially the Villages! I can ship used ones or you can come pick up new ones."

Like others on this thread, I also purchased my cart from a dealer out state. I also like to work on my own vehicles in the garage so, stop by my "Man Cave" sometime and take a look. All I have had to do was change the oil just once. (Pan on the ground..... a wrench.... and 1 quart of oil..... done in 15 minutes)

Your question about the bottom of windshield and sealing it? I purchased the one The Villages Golf Cart's puts on their carts. It cost me $2.85 and it just slips on to the bottom of the windshield.

We have less than $8,000 total into our cart (2013 Yamaha EFI Gas) with all the same options of one bought here in TV.

Gordy, I am happy that solution worked for you. We were able to get right in our carts, after they were delivered by Carts and Clubs from Ocala, and drive away. No additional tinkering or expenses were needed and the service from Ted and Connie is excellent. Not everyone at this point in their lives, (women more so than men), wants to tinker on their golf carts to finish assembling missing parts.

The enclosures on the carts from Carts and Clubs are, arguably, the best ones out there. And those people who are not patronizing the "brick and mortar" businesses in the area have no right to complain when cart stores close and go out of business because warranty and service work isn't paying the overhead or when they jack their prices for service work sky high to cover their costs.

Please tell me, all of you online shoppers, that you aren't wasting the time of the brick and mortar employees gathering all the info on the carts from them that you want to order online. And, Gordy, I wished you youth and ability to change your own cart oil for the rest of your days.

Default Save on Golf Cart

I bought a new Yamaha Cart from TNT Golf Carts in Quincy, Illinois #1-217-228-2226 and they dropped it in my drive a week later with no shipping and no sales tax -- They ship carts every couple of weeks to South America and they stop by The Villages on the way to Port Miami -- Also, there is a Yamaha service center near Rolling Acres Road ( not related to local control ) that must honor all warranty work -- I saved well over $2000 and so have several others in TV -- They have a web site, but call for best price !!!

You are right Peachie. The other golf cart stores HAVE to honor the warranty, but maybe not this month. There are a LOT of golf carts sold here and like most businesses they probably will take their sales customers first.

We have friends who bought two new Yamaha's and trailered them down here to learn just that fact.
