But I've never owned a golf cart. Just wondering what to look for? I noticed a certain guy is always selling reconditioned carts in TV on Facebook. Not sure if he's legit?
Any advice is much appreciated.

We bought a 2011 Yamaha 4 seat cart, 2 1/2 years ago, for $5,000. Added front/rear seat belts and front/rear shelves. Replaced the standard seats with a high back/arm rest seat for $1,100 (SHOULD HAVE paid $800 more for the bucket seats!!). All told, about $6,500. Runs great, goes too fast, a little noisy but reliable and fun.
There is a substantial difference between old and new technology. QFI is really quieter and the suspension is better for a smoother ride. However, for a 4 seater with comparable features, the cost is going to be north of $12k for used carts and $15k+ for new.
We use Willy's for "at home" cart service and 24 hr. Golf Cart Service for roadside emergencies.
