Not sure your missing anything. I did the same research when I bought my 2010 Yamaha and Carts and Clubs was almost $1000 cheaper then TV golf Carts. The one I really have to question is TNT for $7432. I have gone to their web site, called them several times, and I can't get a cart equipped for TV with the same features as I priced at those above for under $9000. Maybe you selected different options then I did? I had loaded mine up fairly well with special wheels, tires, lights, trims etc. In fact when I did my final shopping, TNT was about the same price as Carts and Clubs for the exact same cart. And so far I have found no enclosure that comes close to Carts and Clubs. I am going back to TNT and check as I need to replace another cart.

I went to TNT to check to see how it compared to the cart I bought at Carts and Clubs. This is Apples to Apples.
Yamaha Drive ........................................... $4999
High Speed Gears ...................................... $495
Sunbrella Enclosure .................................... $595
10 inch low profile wheels and tires ............... $600
Windshield ................................................ $140
Accessory lights ........................................ $220
Running lights ............................................$155
Cooler .................................................. .... $40
Mounting bracket ....................................... $20
Dash with locking glove boxes ...................... $189
Fender flares ............................................ $200
Sand Bottle ............................................ $30
Arm rest kit ............................................... $45
Floor mats ............................................... $140
Mirrors .................................................. .. $25
Shipping ................................................. $150

Total .................................................$ 8364.64

My Carts and Club with the exact same features was $9136 with a much superior enclosure, a year of free service, and a gas gauge and speedometer not available from TNT

Last time I priced a TNT cart it came to over $9000. I might have forgot something this time. Maybe prices have changed in the last year as competition for business in this economy heats up. Not really sure. But based on the above, I would still go to Carts and Clubs before buying again.

Being from Illinois and not wanting to haul my used Yamaha to Florida. I traded it in in Quincy with TNT. They built me a brand new 2009 with Curtis Cab and gave me exactly what I wanted for my used one. They delivered it to my home here in The Villages and there was no sales tax. There were a couple of things that needed done thru the waranty and there was no problem they had a service tech come right here to my home. That worked all fine for me. We decided to buy a second cart a couple of months ago so started looking at all the dealers in the area. TNT has a good cart for the money but they just don't know about the little extra's you need here like deluxe light kit,speedometer,extended tail pipe, sealed windshield etc. We ended up going with Carts and Clubs. Also decided to just go ahead and trade in the 2009 for a 2011 Curtis Cab. Made a very good deal for the 2 carts. Carts and Clubs gave me over $2000 more for my 2009 than Villages offered me. You really need to sit a Village Yamaha next to a Carts and Clubs Yamaha to see the difference in the building. One last thing cash talks at Carts and Clubs. The Villages just say it is what it is no negotiation what so ever. I have had a couple of things that needed attention with one cart and they come right to the house to fix it. No loading it up and bringing it back later.

Matching up to this list, Discount Golf Cart World on 441 would cost $7900 Tax included for a 2011. This is a serious savings over either of the other local dealers. I can only find one or two people who have bad experiences with DGCW. Sounds like the dealers are making a lot of money on each cart. Right now I cannot find a reason not to go to DGCW considering all carts come with only a local dealer warranty and over $1200 savings.
