My money on the will be traded long before that due to cost of batteries which what 80% probably do anyway?
Does not appear to be pro rated but you never know until you try to make a claim.

I didn't say engines wear out in 10 years, I said I didn't consider engine rebuilds or battery replacement.

It never occurred to me that you could trade in a golf cart. I expected when I was done with it I would hope that I wouldn't have to pay to have it hauled away. We'll find out in ten years or so.

I missed that it wasn't you who posted the picture. My apologies.

This thread is about a golf cart fire. Speculation was that it was caused by lithium batteries. The discussion then devolved into this.

No, I didn't see the "waiting for recycling sign" on the jumbled pile of batteries. This seems like an odd way to store them, out in the weather, jumbled pile, on their side and upside down... but I'm not in the recycling business.

Confirmation bias is real; I can find any number of articles that say so.
