Cost savings counts in the current economy even when you are shopping for golf carts. Perhaps you need to use the golf cart as a utility cart but you do not have a lot of reserve cash to make the purchase. Country clubs and private golf clubs are prime searching ground for used carts, since they upgrade their fleet of carts every three or four years.

If you are purchasing a golf cart from a private golf course, more than likely you will be buying the cart “as is.” This means they will probably have been inspected for major damage, but there will have been no cleaning or other kinds of refurbishing.

One of the drawbacks of as-is sales is the fact that there are no warranties. You must understand that you are agreeing to do all repairs and upgrades yourself.

Make sure that you test-drive the cart before paying for it. Add weight to it and drive it up a hill to see how well the motor runs. Look at the body of the cart for signs of rust or to see if there have been any replacement parts.

Refurbished carts from golf cart dealers have undergone thorough inspections and have already been cleaned and reupholstered. Golf cart dealers also offer warranties for 30 or 60 days and give you the chance to select different seats, new paint jobs or upholstery.

It is important to shop around and not settle for the first golf cart that you believe is a great deal. Chances are there is a better deal just around the corner that better fits your needs.

Maintenance is extremely important for golf carts, especially if they are used. Gas-powered carts, which always need new air filters, oil changes and spark plugs, require ongoing maintenance. The electric carts will require the most attention to batteries, which need to keep a safe water level and need to be changed every two years.

The average cost for used golf carts is about $2,000. If you want a gas cart, you might want to shop exclusively through a golf cart dealer. Most private golf clubs use electric carts. As you shop, remember to ask relevant questions and do price comparisons from several different sources.
