Yes, 6 Trojan batteries can cost up to that. I primarily golf at my local course it's only about a mile from my house.
I'm leaning towards a used one. Found a 09 Yamaha, 1 owner. They are asking 3,350.
Buy that one. Yamaha makes really nice carts. EZ-GO is bottom of the barrel. Club-Car is right in the middle. We have 4 in the family; 2 Club-Car DS models, a Club-Car Precedent, and a very special one you'll see here on the site sometime in the future.
