There must be a small cooler attached and a urinal filled with sand to repair divots on the golf course. Many Villages cannot operate their golf cart without a large dog in the passenger seat and their leg sticking out.

Ok I think we should tell op what you need. Tires that can be on the course and the road. Headlights, tail lights, turn signals, windshield.

What you can add to make it your ride is: sunbrella enclosure, dashboard, above roof storage , sand bottle, cooler, grocery bag, custom seats, radio, CD player, seatbelts, backseat, names on the front, and custom license plate. I am sure there is more.

I am glad I clicked on this one. Lots of funny responses!

"Village Ready" is a term that golf car dealers have come to use over time because of the vast difference in requirements that a village resident has over a resident of another type of market.

For example, we have stores in Jacksonville, Tampa, Clermont, Orlando, & South Florida. Each of our markets has customers who prefer a different set of options depending on the way they will be using the car. Some are more commercial areas, some have multiple small subdivisions. The Villages, as we all know is unique in both size and locations accessible by golf cart.
Having a name for a certain set of options makes it easier on our builders and sales staff. Authorized dealers may vary on a couple of small options but for the most part you will find the same basic options on a "Village Ready" car.

Here is a list of what we put on every Village Ready vehicle.
Performance package (High Speed Gear Set)
Welded Tail Pipe Extension going out the back of the car
Fuel Gauge
Head Lights, Tail Lights, Turn Signals
Rear LED Light Bar with Brake and Turn Signals
Folding Mirrors with Turn Signal Indicators
12 Volt Accessory Port (for charging phone, gps, etc.)
Rear View Mirror
Folding Windshield with gasket to stop air from going underneath
Air Dam to stop air flow over windshield (when windshield is up)
Full Sunbrella Enclosure with Club Protector
10 " Alloy Wheels with Street/Turf or Oversized Tire
Full Dash with Locking Glove Boxes

Our price on a new vehicle of this type with factory seating is typically $8500.00

Other options to consider would be the type of seating you want to go with if you do not want factory seats.
(Reupholstered Vinyl, Custom Replacement Bench or Bucket Seats etc.)

Less pricey options would be things like Cooler, Sandbottle, Seat Belts, Floor Mat and so on.

Things like Pin Striping and Name Decals are typically thrown in if desired.

I hope this helps. I apologize for all of the capitalizing. I'm used to using upper case for options on our sales stickers.

Our new, updated website will be launching this week and I will make a post to let you know where you can see some vehicles built out to these specs.
