The villagers golf carts are good if you don’t mind OVERPAYING.

What happens to all the people who bought new golf carts from this as far as service and warrenty?

I saw the invoice from Yamaha and unless you want to go to Georgia their prices are competitive for this area.

Additionally you’re treated like royalty, have an extended warranty, free tow, priority service, loaner and mostly importantly a piece a mind because I know they’re not closing up shop anytime soon like Ocala.

I don't mind paying a little extra for the exceptionally great customer service.

It was the greatest experience ever buying something at this price range.

My sister, who has purchased all her various golf carts from C&C, called C&C yesterday. She asked them what was going on. She was told that C&C was purchased by a "land management company".

Is this "land management company" The Villages?

Yep.

Same experience. It was also my largest vehicle purchase ever. Rob was awesome there. He moved up in the ladder a few months after selling me my new one.

Thought so. Thanks.

Oh NO NO NO......NOOOOOO ! Now what ?

You got that right ! Slowly cutting off all competition... the company store format...LOL !

Maybe made them an offer they couldn't refuse ? That family has been in the business for some time, sorry to them them go. Nice people.

I thought Ted might be wanting to retire, but the kids have always been involved so never thought about the closing, or selling out to the villages ! They were so easy to deal with and the prices, compared to the villages places using the exact options, etc. were so much lower, and their service for owners here in the V's was truly exceptional. Well, guess this will lead to a new thread with people sharing new options they find ? The inflated prices in this "captive" audience continues I guess.

Of course they were just interested in a profit, why else would they have gone into business, to lose money? Why would they consider providing “Villagers with an alternative”? Why of course, to make a profit, if not that then they might as well have just stood out side the door of the Villages Golf Cart stores and handed out hundred dollar bills.
Whatever their motive was for selling, it is entirely the previous owner’s business. Yes the alternative will be missed, it was a great place and had many benefits if you overlooked the remote location. But it now leaves a void that someone else may be inclined to fill, to make a profit, or not.

I'm sure the new owner will not want to change anything that has made them a good business.

The biggest issue here is that The Villages Golf Cars have extended their monopoly in the area. They won't sell parts to a consumer unless they purchased the cart directly from them. So for those of us that are riding around in carts we bought used here in The Villages, we're screwed!

I at least used to be able to go to Carts N Clubs to get parts - they're almost non-existent online. This new policy of not selling parts has made me even more determined to never purchase from The Villages Golf Cars. I'll order from Webster for my next cart.

Not if Carts and Clubs has an exclusive territory with Yamaha to sell new Yamaha Carts, like The Villages Cars has. Maybe the place in Webster will up its game.
