thing’s for certain about today’s golf cars:<br />
they’re definitely not your grandfather’s golf cars.<br />
Available accessories<br />
Jason Zangre, comptroller/general manager<br />
at Sunshine Golf Car in Delray Beach<br />
totally agrees. “Golf cars are not just for golf<br />
courses anymore,” Jason says, adding how<br />
Sunshine Golf Car has taken the lead in selling<br />
the newest, most advanced “street legal”<br />
golf cars available.<br />
“They’re more fun to drive,” he says. “It’s<br />
for cruising around. You can take them to the<br />
beach. You can take them downtown. It’s better<br />
than taking your big SUV out on the town.<br />
We try to keep the consumer in mind. They<br />
don’t want the golf cars their grandpas drove.”<br />
As more and more street legal golf cars<br />
Star-ev Diablo<br />
Sunshine Golf Car Showroom<br />
are being seen on the streets, their popularity<br />
is on the rise. “More of them are out<br />
there,” Jason says, “and the more people see<br />
them, the more people want them. Street legal<br />
golf cars are the new phenomenon.”<br />
Sunshine Golf Car located at 9740 W. <strong>Atlantic</strong><br />
<strong>Ave</strong>., has been in business since 1980.<br />
They not only sell the latest models of new<br />
golf cars, but they also offer pre-owned and<br />
utility golf cars. They have a full-service<br />
department that can service and repair all<br />
makes and models. “Sunshine Golf Car is a<br />
one-stop shop offering sales and service,” Jason<br />
says. “That’s what differentiates us from<br />
our competition. We have a huge inventory<br />
on site of both cars, parts and accessories.<br />
There’s really nothing we can’t do. People<br />
can buy a new car with all types of add-ons.<br />
We always try to accommodate our customers’<br />
wishes. When you need something fixed<br />
or upgraded, we will fix your existing car if<br />
needed as well.”<br />
Sunshine Golf Car, it’s more than just<br />
making that sale. “We’re looking for a longterm<br />
relationship with our customers, not a<br />
quick sale. We also work with commercial<br />
accounts like schools, condos, apartments,<br />
etc.,” Jason adds.<br />
Sensing the trend toward street legal<br />
vehicles, top manufactures are making<br />
changes in the products they make. “They’re<br />
coming up with new technology, like lithium<br />
batteries,” Jason explains. One leading<br />
brand, Star EV, will be coming out later this<br />
year with a brand new golf car with modern<br />
automotive styling integrated into the vehicle<br />
such as LED headlights, digital display on<br />
the dashboard, and an optional backup cam-<br />
