El Tigre Golf Cart Seats
 

If anyone is interested in upgrading their golf cart seats, I walked into TV Golf Car store in Brownwood yesterday to test out some new seats. I really liked the El Tigre Texas High Back Sportster bucket seats and got a quote from TV for $2031 including tax. Today I called El Tigre and they were running a special and I got the seats for $1645 that included shipping, tax, and installation, a savings of $386.

TV golf needs to make a fair profit on items they sell to stay in business.

Either way they are expensive.

As far as I'm concerned worth every penny. The stock seats about did my back in. The high backs are sooooo comfortable.

Who installed them?

Who did the installation?

What’s the manufacturers web address?
EDIT - found it
El Tigre Custom Golf Cart Seats | Golf Cart Seats -

El Tigre installs - only in TV

Agree but what is "fair"?

I had these installed last winter.

I bought my Yamaha from TV at LSL new in 2011 and at the time, Ultimate Seats out of Indiana was the main upgraded seats that most dealers were stocking. These were the top of the line and were $1495 almost ten years ago. I've enjoyed them enough that it was worth the difference. Ultimate for some reason went out of business and El Tigre sort of took their place. In fact I believe El Tigre are made in the same factory in Indiana, so there was some connection.

Most businesses target between 20 - 40% markup. This covers their overhead costs (taxes, insurance, utilities, labor, upkeep, inventory carrying costs, advertising, etc)

Fair means what the market will bear. Supply / demand.

If too high, shoppers will go elsewhere.

BTW. Did TV carts charge for testing the seats in their showroom?

Dam, I bought the same seats 4 1/2 years ago and had them shipped to our home for $950. Took me about a half hour to install them in the Yamaha. Who says inflation is running about 1.5% per year?

Spend like you have it!.... if liquor and new cart seats are your only vice , enjoy

I haven’t received them yet as the order was placed yesterday. I will share who it is in a couple of weeks.

One assumption that was not mentioned. The retailer buys at a wholesale price.

Often the manufacturing company holds prices higher or protect their dealer network.

Just sayin
