Also, remember you are protecting the environment by not adding large amounts of lithium waste from multiple battery replacements to the toxic landfills.

We like that you are never tethered to the life of ,”Did I plug the cart in?” “I wonder if the batteries are still good?”…….
I checked online and the price you were quoting is for a "rebuilt" engine with a core exchange… Not a factory new engine. I honestly do not know if you could even get a brand new factory engine.
The question for resale would be you would now have to disclose that the engine is "rebuilt". I think that would be detrimental to the value just like it would be in an automobile.
