A refurbished golf cart may be the perfect fit for your budget and needs. These unique used golf carts have been altered by the dealership in some way, from getting a new paint job to a new engine, in order to deliver a better experience to the customer. 

If you want to know more about reconditioned golf carts, check out our following guide. If you have any questions or want to explore reconditioned golf carts for sale, head over to Carts Gone Wild. Our dealership is based in Haubstadt, Indiana. We also proudly serve those in Evansville and Indianapolis, Indiana. 

Understanding Refurbished Golf Carts

There's a difference between used golf carts and reconditioned golf carts. Used golf carts are simply models that have left the dealership. They may have only been driven once, but they are no longer able to be called new.

Refurbished golf carts, on the other hand, have been changed in some way. They tend to be older models that need to be upgraded before they can be sold. Some dealerships only change the aesthetic details (such as the exterior paint, the tires, and the seats). Others adjust the worn-down parts and inner workings to ensure better performance and longer lifespan.

The Advantages of Reconditioned Golf Carts

Save Money

The first big perk is the lower price tag. Use depreciation in your favor to knock a significant amount of money off of the asking price. This can allow you to afford a higher-end model than you would be able to new. Or use the savings to invest in upgrades and accessories for your golf cart. Golf cart technology usually does not change too much from year to year, so you can get a reconditioned golf cart that still offers great features.

Skip the Hassle of Repairs

Sure, you could purchase a used golf cart and upgrade the seats, tires, engine, and so on by yourself. But this is a time-consuming process! You'll need to do your research to find compatible parts within your budget, then spend the time getting them installed. It's much less stressful to let the dealership do this for you. 

Get Peace of Mind

When you get a refurbished golf cart from a trusted dealership, you get peace of mind that all the relevant issues have been uncovered and all the necessary upgrades have been installed. If you tried to find all the problems on your own, odds are that you would miss some key issues. Dealerships have professionals inspecting the golf carts who are able to catch red flags better than average buyers can.

Tips for Shopping for Refurbished Golf Carts

1. Find a Trusted Dealer. 

You don't want to end up buying a reconditioned golf cart that looks like-new, but hasn't had the inner workings changed out and will fall apart soon after purchasing. Seek out certified dealers associated with the brand or brands that you are considering. You can also read through customer reviews to see how satisfied past customers have been.

2. Learn What's Been Changed

When you find a model you are interested in, you will want to discover everything that has been inspected and changed. Make sure the dealership gave the model a thorough inspection and replaced the relevant parts.

3. Learn the Reconditioned Golf Carts Hours

Next, you'll want to find out how many hours the refurbished golf cart has been in use. Most newer models will have an hour meter so you can easily see the total. If the model you are considering does not, you'll need to ask the dealer for this information. The lower the number of hours, the better.

4. Learn About the Warranty

Some refurbished golf carts will come with a warranty. For example, at Carts Gone Wild we offer a bumper to bumper 30-day warranty on all Certified Reconditioned carts that are less than ten years old.
