2017 Yamaha EFI QuieTech at Village Discount Golf Car
After a whole Lotta shopping around (I'm a numbers guy), I just got a 2017 Yamaha quiet tech from Village Discount Golf Car. Well actually that's not true , I got on the phone with Yamaha dealer out of the area , I bought the golf cart over the phone from the Yamaha Dealer, put the cart on a credit card. Then Village Discount Golf Car completly customized it. I've bought a couple of remanufactured carts from these guys and they do awesome work. In the end I saved a bunch of money, got a better enclosure IMO , A much better seat with folding Arm rests, Garmin Full color navigation and speedometer , and several little things that I really loved. Got full warranty because I bought it from the Yamaha dealer , and I already know Village Discounts service is wonderful.
I wasn't even aware of the new golf cart design a couple of months ago and I almost bought a 2015 , i'd like to thank this forum as I wouldn't of known without it ! Returning the favor. Passing it on Dan |
I've been surprised that the 4 Villages Golf Carts shops are still charging quite a lot for their Yamaha gas carts with this competitor so close. I bought my Yamaha cart from TV new in 2011 and fully loaded including Ultimate Seats, a black roof, SS wheels, 2 sand bottles, large mirrors, etc and it was $10,300. I think presently it would probably cost about $13,000 to purchase the same thing from them.
I see the Villages Discount Golf Store all the time because I drop my wife off next door at Victoria's Hair once a month. They seem to have really great prices and it sounds like a great place for options that you normally don't see elsewhere. For those who don't realize how much the Yamaha carts are marked up in The Villages, you can get a brand new 2016 Yamaha Gas Cart from Cunningham Carts in Kentucky delivered to you for $5,495. That's a completely stripped down model you would find on a golf course, just like the picture below. I had checked these guys out back in 2011 and came close to buying then but didn't because of the convenience of buying from The Villages and their prices were not quite out of sight yet. Cunningham does offer options that they can add such as headlights and tailights for $300, folding windshield for $150, etc.. They haven't listed the 2017 models on their website yet. 2016 Yamaha Gas Golf Cart http://www.cunninghamgolfcar.com/ima...edium/1310.jpg Villages Discount Golf where the OP "ExCpaDan" bought his cart.

John good points, that's why I shopped around also. But let me clarify couple of things. The golf cart you've posted at Cunningham in Kentucky is a basic gas cart with a carburetor, the Quitech is a bit more expensive EFI cart with lots of factory goodies. Also be careful before you buy cart as you want to get correct factory led headlight kit etc. I would suggest calling Village Discount first before you buy, they have several dealers they can refer you too without having to Call Kentucky, and know what equipment you need.
I Grabbed this off Village Discounts website it looks like since I got mine they are advertising as Makeover Special on 2017 Yamaha , Club Car and Ezgo |

Would you be willing to provide a little more detail because if true it would be returning a favor to many of us. How did you compare price savings.? How does the warranty work? i mean do you go to one of the four TV Yamaha Dealers or will Yamaha honor work done by Villages Discount? And to consider the costs of shipping your cart how far out of TV did you go to contact a Yamaha Dealer? do you know if one can purchase a Yamaha directly from the factory? |
I felt the same way.....cheaper outside....BUT...after speaking with the villages golf carts sales..they explained a few reasons to buy from them....
1-if it breaks they will give you a loaner till its repaired. 2-if you have company they will give you a cart for free for there use 3-it comes customized when its delivered... Cost more, yes....but to us it was worth it for the many times we have guests that want to ride around with us in there own golf cart. It was worth a little extra to us for this convience |

Village Golf Cart
I have 2 carts neither a Yamaha and not bought from The Villages, but I have taken them in for service now that they cover all three. Always have had great service and always provide a free loaner while they have my cart. Also, you can get to their place of business in your cart. No need to have it picked up.

From bbbbbb On the golf cart item. After a lot of looking and comparisons,,,,,,,,,,,,, we did the following. Bought Electric Ez Go from AGC golf carts they are next to the Bonefish Grill. We love it. It is quiet and very dependable. For the first year, they come out to do any maintenance and do it at our home or take it in and return it THE SAME DAY. No spark plugs, no gas, no tuneups, no filters, really a quiet dream and very dependable, easy to keep charged, easy shift with the ignition key, easy to add water in the auto water feeder. Great cart, very happy with their service and coverage. bbbbbb :wave: |
New, quiet Yamaha coming this week. No more battery charging smell in the garage! What a smooth ride.

I have purchased two new Yamaha carts from The Villages Cart dealership in the last four years, have them serviced there, feel like they know me, but have never heard of free rentals for my guests. I really doubt that is correct. How could they give your guests free rentals when you think about it? True, they are higher priced than other Yamaha dealers around here, but it is convenient and warranty work has never been a problem with them. If you buy from out of state, then have the customary "high speed" gear installed for use over the standard 12 MPH, what happens to your Yamaha factory warranty after the alterations? That may be a very large issue that negates any initial saving, IMHO.
