Inspecting Used Golf Carts

If you want to get a golf cart at a great price, then you’ll want to investigate the used golf cart market. The nice thing about buying a used golf cart is that you not only save money, but you’ll also get a wider range of available options to choose from. However, it is also important to perform a thorough inspection of any used golf cart that interests you so that you know you’re getting a good deal on a high-quality cart.

Gas vs. Electric

Golf carts are either powered via an electric battery or a gasoline engine, so how you’ll inspect the engine will differ depending on the type of power source it has. 

The battery is the most crucial part on an electric golf cart and it should be in very good condition with no residue. Ask the previous owner or seller whether the battery has been replaced and if it’s still under warranty. 

For a gas golf cart, you’ll want to make sure that the fuel and oil are clean and fresh. It can be helpful to do a test-drive of the golf cart to make sure the engine runs smoothly, too.

Tire Check

The tires are a very important part of any golf cart, so you’ll want to check them on a used model to ensure that they are in good condition. No one should try to sell you a golf cart that has bad tires; look for signs of wear or damage that should have been repaired.

Get the Maintenance Records

Finally, when inspecting a used golf cart, you should ask the seller for the maintenance records so you can see how it was cared for. You don’t want to buy a golf cart that has had major upkeep ignored.
