2019 Yahama Drive2 QuieTech
 

Hello-

A new 2019 Yamaha Drive2 QuieTech (Lifestyle) version offered by The Villages is selling @ 11,595 - 600 cash discount plus tax. They are unwilling to negotiate their price.

Is there any other Golf Cart dealer in the area that sells the same ( similar) version cheaper ?

TRY Carts & Clubs in Ocala. They are an authorized Yamaha Dealer

Go to Yamaha website, contact authorized dealers in other parts of Florida or southern Georgia who will sell you a base Quietech The Drive2 PTV. The price should be less than $7000, I paid $6500 for a new 2017 2 years ago. Tell the dealer the options you want added on and agree on a price. You will save several thousand dollars, plus pay no sales tax if you buy in Georgia. It cost me $200 for a guy to deliver the cart. I had no problems getting oil change or warranty service on my cart at Villages golf cart even though I didn't buy from them.

What dealer did you go to? Thanks

There is a dealer in Bushnell but don't remember the name.

Yes go to Webster there is a dealer there who I have sent people to and they have all bought so far some of them have saved as much as $2700.00 ? Ask for Steve and tell them Paul Darby sent you ! It is across the road from the Webster flea market. Good Luck

Just put the name of the cart in the google bar and do a search, many dealers pop up. Best price I saw was $7,666 in Georgia. I didn't look at many.

$7,199.00

I guess base price has gone up, paid $6500 here 2 years ago.

Now that they come with factory high speed gears and 10 inch wheels, buying elsewhere is much easier than a few years ago.

Also, if you are handy, most stuff can be added by you at home for real cheap. The canvas for example is about 6 screws and bolts.

You’re not going to get the caption type bucket seat with drivers side adjustable and lumbar adjustment. When you buy you have to compare options, naturally cheaper seats are going to lower the overall price of the cart. If that not important then you can find them grand or two cheaper.

Can you recommend any places where I could buy the canvas? And would you know of anyone that could install it?? Thanks

If you buy your cart stripped down, Villages Discount Golf Cars on 466 east of Morse in the tan shopping center next to Birdie Golf advertises a price $2500 to make your cart Village Ready. They also sell one year old Yamaha carts loaded for $8900 that look like this, they'll paint it any color you like and customize like you want.

My neighbor bought one last year and I've ridden in it numerous times and it's no different than my Yamaha I bought new from The Villages. They have a different Sunbrella system that uses velcro instead of zippers and snaps in some places. The windshield has vents which I like better. The seats have side armrests, but not a center one like my Ultimate Seat. Mirrors are nice with turn signals inside the mirror. He even got a black roof like mine, but TV charged $300 for that option. To buy a new one with these upgrades would probably cost $13,000 or more from The Villages.

The $300 black top sure looks white to me? Plus many of their carts are years old that they customize.

Sounds like a great deal depending on where the carts were used. Good warranty?

How come the cart in the picture has the pre 2017 headlights?

That's not my neighbor's cart. I said they will customize however you want and will paint your cart any color you want. My neighbor chose a blue cart with black roof. This photo is taken from their website of a cart you can buy for $8999. Sorry for the confusion that I didn't label the photo. My neighbor's cart is a EFI Quie Tech Cart, how long has that been available? I'm sure you could ask to the see the paperwork of when it was manufactured. They do have cheaper carts, but the OP was looking at new. It's obvious that they don't update their website every month by showing examples that are older, but you should get the idea. You can actually visit the place in person. Here's another from their site:

My 2-seats Quietec Drive 2 was $7600 at Augusta ATV, with the big warehouse just inside S.C. They must have had hundreds of carts, all configurations. There is also one dealership in Augusta GA, but they did not have the selection as their warehouse. I was pleased with the price and the dealer answered all my questions. They also had EZ-Go and other cart manufacturers. Never saw so many nice golf carts before.

Basic 2020 Yamaha golf cart pick your color... black 10 in wheels .. buy at tnt in Georgia $7199 plus tax. The Villages I believe was 9200 or 9500 same exact cart. Two grand difference pretty sad . And somebody’s gonna say something about service but you can service anywhere you want there’s a lot of good guys out there Willys could fix it if you have a problem but it still under warranty no matter where you go

Which goes for a lot of other pricey things around here as well for no other reason other than because they have and will continue to get away with it. Are we living in West Palm? You'd think it was, but it ain't.

We're new and trying to decide on buying new golf cart as well. Did The Villages Golf Cart still provide you with no-cost loaner when your cart was in for service?

Yes they do, plus they will provide peace of mine being there when you need them.

That was good information about buying a golf cart in Georgia. How did you find someone to do the delivery?

They won't service your cart unless you buy it from them. I was told that last week when I made a service appointment with them.

So, the 2020 model cart, purchased in Georgia, is $3,796 less than the 2019 model, purchased in The Villages? Is that really an apples to apples comparison, or does the one in The Villages have more features?

Good reason to buy from them. I bought a used battery cart from them 3 years ago. Needs work and I have a loaner in the garage now. One of the best reasons to buy from TVs.

I'm not sure what "servicing" a car means, but it would be a violation of the Yamaha warranty for an authorized dealer to refuse to repair a defect during the warranty period. Their warranty clearly states that you can enforce the warranty at any authorized dealership, as long as you purchased it from an authorized Yamaha dealer. Has anyone addressed this with Yamaha for an explanation?

If you didn't buy the cart from them, they won't make a service appointment for you, so you have to line up at the garage door, and when the shop opens (at 8:00AM I think), they take you in, first come, first served. They are limited by available overnight parking space inside the building, I was told by the service writer, as their insurance coverage doesn't allow them to park your cart outside overnight while it waits for service. So get there early to ensure you get service. I have used them several times now for service, and they have always offered a free loaner cart. The service has been very good, and I was happy with pricing.
