People want a specific color, specific enclosure, specific wheels, specific seat, unnecessary speedometer, ice chest, new, etc.. So they pay $14-$15 K plus sales tax everyday. My NEW Honda car cost me $13,550 and I can Drive it anywhere in the U.S. with Air Conditioning. No logic on carts here. My friend in Texas has a cart for his 5 acre property. It cost him $200.
When did you buy the new Honda? 1999?

i paid $7631 out the door for my 4-seater gas Yamaha Drive 2 golf cart. Large Yamaha and EZ-Go warehouse. Hundreds of new carts to choose from. Even with shipping charges, these prices are well below your quote.

I moved to The Villages in 2016 and saw new golf carts were $14,000. I went to Ocala Honda and saw a NEW Honda Fit was $16,000. I offered $13,500 (tax & Title extra.) The Fit is small like a golf cart, has 4 cylinders, 4 seats, A/C, Stereo and I can drive it at 70 mph. Only thing I can't do with it is drive on the golf course. So I bought a new 2018 Yamaha QuietTech PTV(goes 20 mph) for $6,700 from I-4 Power and added Custom seats, windshield and sunbrella enclosure.

I just read where someone on this forum owns a Lotus Elise which is supposed to be expensive. Is it?

2012 Eagle Par Car with only 398hrs. Lightly used by an elderly neighbor in Bel Air. It's a must-see, clean, fast and lots of extras. Wish we had a Craigslist for the Villages. I've tried the classifieds but little response. I'd love any suggestions for a place to put up an advert.

Read an article many months ago and it somewhat applies here. In the article it stated "a golf cart is a toy, like a boat, a jet ski, an RV" Its true, and those items also are not inexpensive to purchase. Even at $7500 that's an expensive golf cart for what your getting.

What ever the market will bear. The Village community can bear a lot.

True. So call one of the Yamaha certified techs that will come to your house. They advertise on this site and in the Sun.
