These days you can find a wonderful selection of used golf carts for sale. This is the result of the fact that country clubs and public golf courses will buy new carts for their fleet regularly. This makes buying a used golf cart the most cost effective option. There are a couple of things you will need to keep in mind when buying a used golf cart. There are two main classes of used golf carts. Refurbished golf carts have been thoroughly inspected, cleaned, and occasionally reupholstered by the dealer. Many times a dealer will include a short warranty period when you purchase a golf cart which has been refurbished. Since you are purchasing the golf cart from the dealer you will often have the opportunity to choose special features such as custom paint or upholstery.
You will most likely pay more for these special features or options, but you will still have significant savings over purchasing a new golf cart. Another option is to buy a used golf cart “as is”. Purchasing an as is cart from a dealer will ensure that it have received a basic inspection but do not expect it to be completely overhauled like a refurbished golf cart. There will not be a warranty offered with an as is golf cart. Prior to making a final choice it is wise to check with a few different reputable dealers.
Speaking with a knowledgeable dealer will allow you to narrow down the type of used golf cart that will work for you. Prior to purchasing any inexpensive or cheap golf carts you should inspect it carefully to see if there are any signs of improper use or damage. Ask the seller if there have been any items either repaired or replaced. If possible take a test drive to get an idea of how the cart drives. If possible test it going up hills and weighted down with passengers.
