My experience with VDC has been very good. If I’ve had problems, they were quick to fix under warranty. Never had a problem getting in contact with them.

So they have our cart for 8 days, no loaner, and delivered it covered in MUD! It was also left out in the storm! If you call service I hope you get through...no more! $700+ to fix!

Villages discount does not sell new golf cars. Only refurbished. We’ve only had professional quality service from them.

Pretty common for secondary clutch to go out in the Yamaha gas 2016 and up. Bad design. Next time call the golf cart guy, he comes to your house and has it fixed in 30 min for half the cost.

2015 up. My secondary clutch went out and they finally put a "High Performance" clutch in... Covered by warranty...

Exact same thing happened to me with my 2015 Yamaha. But I had to pay for a new belt.

Anyone considering the purchase of a new Yamaha should get a quote from Country Power. We got a new Yamaha with all the bells and whistles at the same price as a refurbished cart from Village Discount, and several thousands less than the quote for a new one from Village Carts. The cart is delivered to you, and when service is required, they send a technician to your house. As a plus, it's a nice drive to Webster to look at their inventory, they have a neat store in an old warehouse, and the saleslady is a nice person.

Discount carts do not sell new carts they are all refurbished, always good to have cart towing plan,several are available in the village’s,as far as loaners when cart is in for service The Villages Carts is good.

Pretty happy with them; I’d buy from them again.

Same here, we bought from them in 2020. No problem.

I bought my cart from the discount golf place. I am happy with the price, but another area they save money is in service. They didn't notify my of a warranty service issue. And when one of the side snaps broke, they couldn't give or sell me a replacement snap.

So it is buyer beware. There are other Yamaha dealers around that offer reasonalbe deals.

Agree and we paid 2K less than Village Carts. I ? Village Discount carts. They claim that they re furbish slightly used golf carts. Why are there so many slightly used golf carts out there that can be re furbished and sold?

Also purchased a 2022 from VDC. No issues. And he was upfront about the fact that it was not a from-the-factory-new cart.

[GpaVader]

The correct answer is that VDGC doesn't sell NEW Yamaha's, they do sell other NEW carts though. We bought a new Evolution and had two issues, both were dealt with quickly and efficiently. One of the two issues was self-induced, and they didn't charge anything even though they came and got it and brought it back. It this point I have to say that they have done everything I would expect someone to do. And the product has performed to what they told me to expect.

Sometimes Yamaha will send new carts to a PGA event, when they get them back, they can not be sold new. I would guess these “refurbished” carts are in pretty good shape and are a steal from VDGC

Some country clubs lease their carts from a Yamaha dealer. Could be a 1 year lease, 2 year, 3 year.
When these carts are returned ot Yamaha, they become refurbished. These are more of a crap shoot, some would be fine, some are probably pretty worn out.
