Used Electric Golf Cart
Used Golf Cart Values
In our golf cart community many people will opt for a used cart rather than a new one. That's because used electric golf carts offer a better value than a new one and they are readily available from private parties or from our local golf cart dealers.There is no golf cart "blue book" to look up the value of a golf cart. So whether you are trying to figure out what price to put on your used golf cart or how much you should offer for a used cart, you do need to figure out what the golf cart is worth. A couple of places to check to get some price ranges of used golf carts is Craig's List and eBay. You can also check with your local golf cart dealers. Community boards at stores often have ads for used golf carts as does the want ads section of our local newspapers. Buying a Used Golf Cart
Buying a used golf cart can provide significant savings over buying a new one - often they can be half of what you would pay for a new one.A golf cart that has been used can typically run around $3,000 - $4,000. A new golf cart starts at around $6,000 and can go up to $10,000. Buying used can save you a lot of money. I bought my golf cart used 15 years ago and it has served me very well all these years. Refurbished Golf Carts
When golf courses upgrade their fleet, a whole new batch of used golf carts become available, so it is not difficult to find a used electric golf cart.These carts are usually all electric carts. The dealer then refurbishes the golf carts which usually include an inspection, a good cleaning, and a comprehensive overhaul. Dealers often sell refurbished golf carts with a warranty. Find out how long the warranty is good for and what it covers. Refurbished Golf Carts What to Inspect and CheckOften it is cheaper to buy from an individual than it is from a dealer. The catch is that you will be buying the golf cart "as is."A well maintained used electric golf cart can provide the same performance and reliability as a new cart. However, this does requires that you do some checking and ask some questions. 1. Find the serial number - the number tells you the age of the golf cart 2. Inspect the golf cart body for rust, scratches, damage, or roof leaks 
3. Inspect the battery cables and batteries for corrosion, leaks, wear and tear. Lift the seat and look for the month (A being January through L being December) and year the batteries were made.4. Check the tires for wear 5. Take the golf cart for a test drive including a hill, or with a load of people to see how well it can handle it. Test the brakes, acceleration, turning, stability, play in the steering wheel and the battery charge. 6. Ask if it includes a batter charger. Find out whether it is an automatic battery charger that shuts off automatically when the batteries are fully charged (which is the better option) or with a manual timer. 7. Consider only used golf carts from well-known companies like Yamaha, EZ Go and Club. If you buy a cart made by a company you have never heard of, you will have a hard time finding replacement parts. Questions for the Seller1. How old is the cart2. How was it used and how often 3. When were the batteries last replaced (Golf cart batteries have a typical life span of 5 years) 4. What parts of been replaced or repaired 5. What kind of battery maintenance was provided and how often 6. What accessories are included?
