Help me decide which Golf Cart to get!

[Dugey]

I have been trying to find a 48v cart for a little over a month now, but am getting really serious about purchasing one. I want to make sure that I get something that will last me a long time and be reliable, hence the reason why Club Car is my #1 choice.

We live on 2 acres in southwest Florida, and have about 100 acres of property behind our house that is loaded with trails. Mostly all flat, hard-packed dirt with some spots that are sandy and areas with roots. I am looking to spend no more than $4,500 and want to make sure I get a 48v with the 6 8 volt batteries, preferably a lift kit and offroad tires, but I can do that myself if I come accross a stock cart.

Anyways, I came across this Yamaha today, and just for sh!ts and giggles, offered them $4,000 and they said they would take it after several more negotiations/haggaling. They were asking $5,500. Batteries are 2 years old, but they say they have kept up with them. Older couple that own it, that use it for just cruising around their neighborhood and to keep with their RV.

Their listing description is this:

"2011 Yamaha 48 V electric golf cart with lift kit
Very good condition"

Basically my question is, should I pull the trigger on this Yamaha assuming that everything looks and feels good, or should I wait it out for a Club Car?

Thanks in advance!

Just one guy's opinion but 48v is 48v whether it's in a CC, EZ Go or Yamaha. They all have similar set ups and components. Any of these carts are going to be serviceable in relation to how an owner treats it.

Note that I have a 48v Club Car, 48V EZ Go, a gas Yamaha and a few other carts but those other ones are vintage. I am clearly not partial to any brand. So long as you stick with one of the "Big 3" I would let the best value for the dollar make the decision.
