Buying a Used Golf Cart
Looking to purchase a golf cart, but you’re on a tight budget? One way you can get the cart you want without spending a fortune is to investigate used options. Buying a used golf cart might be just the ticket, and you might even be able to get a higher-quality golf cart than you would if you bought new. However, it is important to be careful when shopping for used golf carts to make sure you get a good vehicle.

Do Your Research
First things first: before you head to a dealership like Carts Gone Wild, why not do some research online to see what’s out there? The nice thing about purchasing a used golf cart is that there are bound to be plenty of reviews from professional organizations as well as current and previous owners, so you can get a good idea for what brands and models are worth your consideration.
Used vs. Refurbished
Something else that’s important to know is the difference between used and refurbished golf carts.
“Used” encompasses any golf cart that was purchased and left the dealership. A used golf cart may have been lightly or heavily used; all that matters is that it’s not new any longer.
“Refurbished” is a term that refers to a cart that has been in use for a while, so parts that have been worn down have been replaced by the previous owner or the dealership. Superficial aspects like paint and seating might have been replaced, or the actual mechanics of the cart might have been swapped out.
Choosing a Seller
You have a few options when it comes to purchasing a used golf cart. You could look in classified ads online or in newspapers to find private sellers who are offloading their golf carts or you could visit a local dealership to purchase a used golf cart from their stock.
The caveat with private sellers is that they could be trying to fob off a golf cart that’s not in great condition on an unsuspecting buyer. Make sure to ask plenty of questions and to test out the golf cart, in addition to getting all the vehicle information about maintenance and repairs performed. If a seller is reluctant to let you test the cart or won’t furnish the necessary vehicle history, don’t buy the golf cart!
