Tips for Selling or Buying Used Electric Golf Carts

Having lived in a golf cart community for 25 years, we have experienced the process of selling our used golf carts and buying "new" used or refurbished electric golf carts many times. Whether you are selling your cart or looking to buy a used golf cart it's important to determine how much to sell yours for and how to recognize a good value when buying your next golf cart.

Living in a golf cart community makes it much easier to determine prices and values since there are many used golf carts on the market - through private individuals or through local golf cart dealers.

If you live in an area where there are golf cart dealers nearby, most of them carry used golf carts - they can be either refurbished golf carts or "as is." The refurbished golf carts usually have new windshields, tops, tires, headlights, batteries and newly recovered seats.

Spend some time going to several dealers to check their inventory, prices and to take the golf carts for a test drive. Bring a pen and pad of paper with you and write down the year, make and condition of the cart along with the price so you can recognize a good value when you see one.

Used golf cart dealers will take your old golf cart as a trade-in and then reduce the cost of the cart you want. However, most dealers will tell you that you will get more for your used cart by selling it yourself.

If you are in the market for selling your used electric golf cart here is a list of features to call attention to so that you can charge top dollar for your cart and for those looking for a used cart find out what questions you will want to ask the seller before making that important purchase.
