Used Golf Cart Buying Guide
Shopping for a golf cart, but want to save some money? Invest in a used golf cart and you’ll save hundreds or even thousands of dollars without compromising on the features you most desire. The used golf cart market offers a wide variety of options, including both electric and gas vehicles as well as defunct brands that you just can’t get today.
It is important to do some research and make sure that you’re going to get a good deal on the used golf cart you want, though. Here are a few of the things you’ll want to think about when shopping for the ideal used golf cart.
Do Some Research
First, the best thing you can do before you even go anywhere is to hop on your phone or computer and do some browsing. Thanks to the internet, you can access a wealth of information about any make and model of golf cart that interests you. Look up brands and specific models you think you might want and check out what current and prior owners have to say about those golf carts.
Also, look up reviews done by professional golf cart publications to see how their reviewers found the cart upon its release. This information should give you a good idea of what to expect from a given used golf cart.
Understanding Used Vs. Refurbished
You should make sure that you fully understand the difference between a golf cart listed as “used” and one listed as “refurbished.” These terms may seem interchangeable, but they aren’t the same. A used golf cart is any cart that has been previously purchased and owned by someone else, even if only for a day. Used golf carts can be very used or lightly used.
A refurbished cart, however, is a cart that has been used rather heavily and many parts on it will have been replaced. There may be a new coat of paint, new tires and many other new parts on a refurbished golf cart. Both types of cart can be great buys, but used golf carts are not going to have significant amounts of replacements performed on them.
Buy From a Reliable Seller
Finally, when you’re buying a used golf cart, you certainly don’t want to get a raw deal. That’s why it’s important to always go with a seller you can trust. While there may be some good-seeming deals online or in classified ads, you’ll need to carefully inspect any carts sold by a private seller to ensure their quality and that they were well-maintained. A reputable dealership like Dever Golf Car Sales will carefully vet its used golf cart selection to ensure that you’re getting the best vehicle possible for your money.
