New club car

deerfly · 02-06-2009, 09:42 AM

Have a friend who wants to buy a NEW club car for golf only. Tried to shop around a little and was told that the club car dealer in the area where he lives gets a cut regardless of where he buys the cart. This amounts to about $500. Is this correct? I always thought that competition is good for everyone.

If he buys it out of town, from another CC dealer... the local guy gets a cut???
No offense... but I find that really hard to believe!

Maybe only if he buys it via the internet!

I'm finding this hard believe myself,. If i go anywhere in the country and buy a new CC,how would a local dealer know anything about it? What i miss?

Don't sound right, Even if you paid cash they would get your name and address for warranty issues and would then know you were from another area?

I do jobs up to 80 miles away...
Do you think I give the local locksmith a cut???
I think... NOT!

The only way that the local CC dealer would get a cut,
is if he had to get it shipped to him, and prep it for delivery, then, do the final sale.

my 2 cents

This is not on the internet. He was told that the dealer whose territory you live in gets a cut. Apparently they know because of the warranty. This is with a new Club Car. Area code 32159 (FL) Phone 352-***-****

From what I've heard I'd avoid the dealer in lady lake also.
