Used Golf carts are always available in the market nowadays. It is due to the arrival of new models and variants that the golf players and golf course authorities keep upgrading to new models. It is always economical to buy a used Golf cart instead of a brand new one. But there are some factors that you have to keep in mind while you buy a used Golf cart.
The main factor is the age of the Golf cart. When you purchase a cart from the used car retailer, they often refurbish the cart and make it look brand new. But you have to make sure how old the cart is. Very old carts are prone to more maintenance and lack of performance. So a lot of money can be spent for that.
Check out the modifications done to the cart. Always go for the best seating, upholstery, headlights, custom paints and other features that are worth the purchase. By this way you can save a lot of money.
Golf carts are also sold under the tag "as is". These are used golf carts sold by the retailer without doing any refurbishment of modification. They are usually cheaper than the other used carts and you might have to do the necessary repairs and maintenance work after purchasing it.
Always make sure to purchase a used cart from reputed dealers. Dealers already in this field for several years are the recommended. They sell the cart without cheating the customers. They also offer warranty to certain models. Even though their price may seem to be higher than the "just into the field" dealers, reliability is the assurance we get from them.
Make sure to test drive the vehicle before choosing it. Drive at a location where there are steep slopes and curves to check out the maximum performance of the cart. Fully load the vehicle and drive it to check whether the cart has enough pulling power.
The price of a used cart can vary between $2000 and $6000. Some can be of even higher price tag considering factors like modification and the age of the cart.
