I'm a regular client of C&C. I think it's more like an if you can't beat em, join em situation. It's a fairly "old school" run company. C&C was great with pricing and service, but they did have limitations that could seemingly be overcome with pouring money into their current operations and spending on technology. Visiting their location, they certainly didn't look like they were rolling in money like when you visit a Villages Carts location.

When our cart's warranty ended, we use Todd Casey for service. I found him on this forum. Great service and reasonable too. They do the service at you home. Neat and clean.

Nothing wrong with TV Golf Carts. It's more convenient, they give you a loaner and they are upfront with their pricing.

Ask for David Becker at Lake Sumter you can’t miss him he is about 7 feet tall. Great guy who will not give you the hard sell on stuff you don't need.

It’s called capitalism.

Better ? is whether new owners are going to continue the same business at their location? If so, bet there will not be any changes. Personally did not buy from them. They were +/- $1000 more than Country Village in Webster.

Are they going to stay open ? Will I now by considered a customer of The Villages Cars ? Are they honoring all 5 years of my warranty ? Does this extend The Villages Car Yamaha territory another 30 miles ? Questions abound.

Rats! I was planning on going to them to buy a cart. This is disappointing news. I will have to reconsider my options.

The reason for the sale is that the owner, Ted, decided it was time to enjoy life so he offered to sale it to his kids; that’s where the issue started and the kids couldn’t come to an agreement as to whose role would be what so Ted sold it to The Villages. We had bought three from C&C due to the big pricing difference (TV being higher) with more options on the C&C carts and we had many referrals there.

Everything is the same for right now, might want to step up the process.
