If I were facing any kind of a time crunch for getting a used cart I would ask around my circle of friends to see who might be moving up to a new cart, and also, some of them may have a trusted mechanic who deals carts. I have two buddies who have bought used carts from their trusted mechanic, and it has worked out well.
I think when you buy something like this out of someone's garage, unless you know that someone, you are buying a "pig in a. poke" to some degree.
Like I said, your friend is fortunate to have you looking out for her.

You sure are right on that. Who would think here in the "friendly" home town, a resident selling "their personal" cart would actually be accepting money to do that ! But I have certainly found out a LOT in just a week and a half ! I definitely am going to only go look if a friend, or friend or neighbor of a friends knows the cart, if we don't find one before she moves here this fall, going to suggest she at least consider a re manufactured one with actual list of what has been replaced with new part !
