We have 2 electric carts. Both bought used. Total cost was less than a new Yamaha from TV golf cars.
That was 4 yrs ago and they are going strong.
People who don’t have electric carts do not understand that range is not an issue. We can go from Brownwood to Spanish Springs, play 18 holes and go out to dinner in the evening after going home for a shower.
There is no maintenance for electric carts. Plug them in each night and check the water level once a month.
They are quiet, you can actually have a conversation in an electric cart, and they don’t stink.
Batteries last about 5-6 yrs depending on use and remembering to plug them in each night. A new set of batteries is about $700. That’s the only expense. When shopping for a used electric cart, you can have the batteries checked by Battery Boys and they can tell you if they are in good shape or if you have that expense coming up.
No oil, no spark plugs, no tune ups, or timing issues.
Which ever way you go, gas or electric, you will find great used carts at half the price of new.
I think we all agree that a golf cart ride is one of the best things about living here!!
Welcome and happy shopping!!
