one vs. two cars
 

Hi everyone. My wife and I will be moving to TV this October. We were wondering if anyone had an opinion about whether a golf cart and one car is sufficient. We have two cars now. Retired life may only require one car. Thanks for your opinions.

Two cars not needed....but it is a lifestyle thing. You will have to determine what you will need.

We will have 2 cars and one golf cart
 

We are moving to TV in July. The decision was based on my husband will drive the cart. If he took the car I would have no way to get around. I know this decision could change if I would drive the cart, but right now I want a car.

Welcome!! You've made a brilliant decision to come here!

Call me crazy, but unless you two need to frequently drive out of TV separately, but at conflicting times, or you have a garage that will fit all three vehicles, I'd say the second car will actually be a big pain in the neck... or the driveway.
I'd sell one asap.

We brought one truck with us when we moved down in December. We have two golf carts. Rarely use the truck unless of course we leave TV or need to pick up something at HD or Lowes. Driving my golf cart is one of my favorite things to do!

We rarely use the one car we have. We have two golf carts, around here easier to park, can get to just about anywhere you'd want to go. There are shortcuts galore for golf carts and beside all that , it's more fun than driving a car. And yes, we go grocery shopping in golf cart, no problem.

Within the past 6 months
 

downsized to one car and have never looked back.....The truth, we use the cart MORE than the remaining car. When we had a second car, we spent a lot of time moving the 2nd car from one side of the driveway to the other....Really not necessary IMHO!

one car two carts

2 vehicles
 

We have 2 vehicles and a cart. We have been here 9 months. So far I would not give up the 2nd vehicle. When it is cold, storming or too hot, I take the car. It is a long ride in a cart from CR 466A to CR 42. IMHO,This past snowbird season you were safer in a car. Time will tell if we sell the 2nd vehicle. Spend some time here before you sell the 2nd vehicle. :gc:

We just moved in and have 2 cars. The Thunderbird Convertible is our fun car and is rarely driven (3,300 miles in 7 years) and our other car is our main car.
A golf cart (Yamaha EFI) will be our next purchase.

Our second car is a 350Z roadster for pleasure rides. Not giving that up.

Ditto.

Why in the world would you NOT drive a golf cart? It is so much fun and is a lot easier than a car.

Driving a golf cart on a regular basis was one of the primary reasons my wife wanted to move to The Villages.

We have one car and one golf cart. Our garage is a double garage PLUS a walled off golf cart garage. We use the golf cart garage for our treadmill since it is air-conditioned in there. That was one feature we loved when we bought this re-sale home 3 years ago.

How many carts?
 

Number carts equal number of golfers...

How often do you think you both will need a car at the same time?

We're going to start with one cart and one car.

Not a golfer
 

I am not a golfer and I have no desire to drive a golf cart. My parents lived on a private club in SE Florida and I never drove their cart. I love my sports car convertible and I feel safer driving the car than the golf cart. I will be happy to ride in my husband's cart.
