We bought a late 90's gas Yamaha with newer sunbrella, cooler, sand bottle, locking glove boxes and paint 6 years ago for $2,200.

Have put in nearly $2,000 in repairs and replacement parts over the 6 years.

Have seen similar carts advertised for around $2,500.

It seems that it has had very little depreciation in the 6 years. Not a bad way to go.

I think buying a late model cart in the $8,000 range would probably have about the same repair/parts replacement cost but about a 50% or so depreciation over a 5 or 6 year period.

You see a lot of newer carts running around and you seen a lot of older carts running around. U payz ur money and takes ur choice.
