Tips for Buying a Used Golf Cart

Shopping for a used golf cart can be overwhelming, but the following tips help!

Know the Used Golf Cart's Age

As a general rule, it's best to buy a used golf cart that is under 15 years old. Older models tend to see a higher rate of parts replacements and repairs, which are added expenses that are ideal to avoid.

Find Out the Age of the Battery

Golf cart batteries eventually need replacement. Usually, this happens about every three years. Replacement batteries tend to cost at least $600. If the used golf cart is due for a new battery soon, be sure to factor that expense into your budget.

Find Out the Usage Hours

The usage hours can give you great insight into how much longer the used golf cart may last.

A well-maintained gas model can be used for 1,000 to 2,500 hours before needing an expensive overhaul. A well-maintained electric model can have 40,000 to 50,000 amp-hours of use before needing an overhaul.

Inspect the Used Golf Cart

A used golf cart may appear to be in great condition...and have issues lurking underneath the surface. Always thoroughly inspect the model to ensure you won't have any surprise repairs waiting for you after making the purchase.
