They may be a little higher in TV but it's all relative. Everything is higher. We bought a lightly used 2018 Yamaha in mint condition for $9500 last fall from another villager. I felt that price was fair.

My brother is a powersports dealer here in Indiana, He sells Polaris and Kawasaki side by sides and motorcycles.

He sells sxs's everyday that are in the mid to upper $30k range. The other day he sold one that was over $40k.
We bought one from him last year and paid about $26k. More than I wanted to spend, but it is what it is. Pay up or don't play.

a large item like that directly to your door. If we can easily do it, I am extremely interested. The price is ridiculously cheap!
I did ask a couple of the vendors if I remember shipping was about $1500 a lot of the units are good brand names as well. It’s worth investigating looking at that the local dealers add on (they pay the same price unless it’s quantity) this has nothing to do with “buying American” this is saving money from the scammers

Yes. But be careful! This does not include customs fee and the price of a carrier to bring it direct to your door. I am still wanting to know those charges.

No so funny.
Have you been through Ocala lately on Hwy 200?
Don't know if these cart stores are branches to one another but WOW, somebody's taking in
some serious $$$$$ selling carts of all makes, electric and gas.

I was at Lowe's today and they have golf carts for $8,000. They are Axis.

Besides Versa, Mercedes, GM, Ford, BMW manufactures and imports to the US from Mexico not much price reduction on cheap labor. Same would happen if Yamaha went there.

Good point, I do wonder about these carts that are significantly heavier with all those batteries and wet course conditions.

It's gonna lead to a lot of cart paths only.

They actually thought about this years ago and felt they really would not be able to compete with Yamaha.
