Must have add on’s I added to my new cart and LOVE
1). Self cancelling turn signals and added big LED lights around the cart and additional turn signal lights - big safety issue and LED l
2). Back up camera
3). Top of the line bucket seats with lumbar support. Sears move back and forward so no pedal extender needed
4). Matching roof color
5). Pearl metallic white body with turquoise pins tripping
6). Bose waterproof speakers
7. Wood dash with locking glove boxes
8). Overhead rack
9). Bottom window flips open so TONS OF BREEZE but no bugs in our face!!
Lot’s of great add on’s. Glad you’re happy with with your cart. Thanks for watching my video.
Good video Gary Love the Cart
Congrats on the cart ! Love your videos from Mass !! You are such a nice person enjoy your videos ! 👍😃

Hi. I do not see seat belts. Very important for safety. Very nice video. Very informative. Thank you.
Thanks for watching!
Nice cart. Enjoyed the video.
Glad you enjoyed it
Love the University Of Michigan colors
My wife thinks its the colors of Dory of the Little Mermaids.
Good choice Gary… I respect your dedication on the research you did..
I hope it helps others going through the process… I know it helped me 🤔
Enjoy your new ride 😎
Much appreciated.
Congrats on your purchase! It’s a great looking cart. I appreciate the in depth details of your journey. I just bought a car and it was very overwhelming. I watched all the RUclips reviews I could find and kept lists and graphs etc. When the time comes for me to buy a golf cart, I’m sure I’ll do the same. Thank you!
Congratulations Gary. Great looking cart. So glad your happy with your decision. Your videos are a great help. We are much like you. Bought a house in Newell in March, haven’t moved in full time yet. Beginning of 2024 hopefully. But we have been researching carts for some time, and your videos have really helped.
Congratulations Gary on your cart. Looks great! We live next to Franklin so would love to meet you for a game of pool or to partake in the band at Sawgrass.
That would be cool!
Congratulations on your purchase. May you have many safe miles ahead of you. I have appreciated following along with your purchase journey and will definitely use your experiences when our time comes.
Thanks for watching and hopefully it will help in your journey.
Wow I love your thorough research and presentation of it. I’m in the early stages of looking into what I want in a cart and this was a tremendous help. Congrats on your prefect find 😊
Glad it was helpful!
Your right The Villages is not a place to own a electric golf cart the go anywhere from 45-70 miles and you know that’s not far if you want to take advantage of all The Villages have to offer. A friend of mine wanted me to move to Sun City, SC were he lived. It was a retirement community very small they had 3 golf courses but that was it no restaurants, shopping, gas stations if you drive around in your golf cart all you have to look at is homes. With no gas stations to get gas I bought a Club Car electric 55 miles is all it goes and only 19mph. I probably have the slowest cart in The Villages. So when I pay it off I will buy a gas cart for the 250 miles it will go. Right now i am limited on we’re I go. Congratulations on your new cart.
Thanks so much and congrats on your new golf car. As we prepare to transition to TV we are also doing our research on golf cars and we are leaning in a very similar direction that you have gone. Enjoy and we appreciate you sharing your buying process.
Best of luck! Thanks for watching.
Really great video!! You answered all of my questions!!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you, Gary for the details as this was so informative. We will be ready for our search for. Golf cart when we come down in the fall. Enjoy 👍
Glad it was helpful!
Gary - this has been such a helpful video. It wasn’t slow or too much at all - it covered everything that I could possibly have asked for. You’ve got a radio voice for sure ! Thanks again.
I just saw your cart - I like that color combination a lot. I would buy that one in a heartbeat.
Glad it was helpful!
It looks like your research has paid off and I'm sure you'll be happy but $14 grand could also buy a very-well-cared-for Miata that will also carry about the same amount of groceries or a set of clubs. Your posts are very enjoyable and informative so please keep posting!
I thought the same when I first heard of the prices but if you look at a brand new Yamaha they start over $10K without a lot of the extra’s you need to make it a year around transportation like in the rain etc.
Congratulations. Enjoy 🎉😊
Thank you! 🤗
Congratulations on the new cart. I have the same cart, just navy blue and silver. We had a private individual install seat belts. Also purchased the window screen from a vendor at the craft fair at BrownWood.
Hi Diane, Hope to see you driving around in your cart. My wife wants the window screen as well. Thanks for the tip to go to the craft fair.
Nice looking cart. I like the colors.
We definitely don’t have trouble finding it in the parking lot.
Suggestion get compass for the dash
Hi Gary, is AC available for any gulf carts?? Congratulations on you and you wife's new gulf cart!! Blessings.~Dana
Yes there are AC golf carts. Check out Atomic golf carts online.
I like the Cart, the colors scream Florida. Hopefully they did not hit you up for an extended warranty. The Grocery bag a good addition. There are many in Florida that go for rear seats for an extra couple for dinner, or grandchildren, but not worth the extra $$$.
They just go over your standard 5 year warranty that comes with the cart. They didn’t offer any extended warranty. Considered extra seats but decided to rent carts when I have company. More fun than riding around backwards.
Congrats on the new cart. But it seems to me you spent a lot of energy searching for this cart.
I did spend a lot of time but I had the time since I wasn’t really moving to the Villages right off. Plus it let me make some videos as the process went along.
What's the best upholstery material for golf cart seats?
Not really sure even though I tried a awful lot before I purchased. They all have to be waterproof so the feel is similar.
How old do you have to be to stay there ?
The Villages is a 55+ community so you or your spouse should be 55.
No seat belts?
Something to consider. I would never talk anyone out of many safety features you can choose.
@@GaryAbbott Please add on seat belts. I used to work in an emergency room. I have seen the damage due to no seat belts. Or safety helmets on bikes. So very sad.
Seat belts are a must. Saw a guy get tossed out of his golf cart onto the road. Had to call 911 for him. Many similar stories in the news.
Gary, I think your over thinking this just a little. With that being said stop being cheap, life is short your kids or who ever will get your inheritance will never miss the few thousand dollars that
they probable didn't deserve. Just get a newer or brand new yamaha gas cart and go live your life. I guarantee it will out last you if properly maintained.
I love the new cart I got but I may get a second one in a few years if my wife joins a number of clubs as our schedules go in different directions as I like sports.
