Question is do I do a trade-in with the Star dealer here in the villages or do I sell it on the open market. Usually dealers only give you wholesale for trade-ins but in this hot market I am wondering if it might be just as easy to go to the dealer who is desperately looking for clean trades? Also do I sell it now or wait until the fall when the snowbirds return?
(please try to stay on topic and let's not get into a discussion of gas versus electric… Thank you!)
In May 2021 I bought an EZgo Elite with the biggest Lithium Ion battery package, the fanciest reclining $2,000 seats, Bluetooth stereo, auto-cancelling turn signals, a special fan, extra lights, etc., for $21,000. Pretty much silent except for the noise of the tires on the road. I was new here and thought I’d use a golf cart all the time. But I don’t play golf, and it turns out that in 13 months I’ve only put 50 miles on it! I’d sell it for $17,000. Sold.
