The Florida definition of a golf cart requires that it is not capable of exceeding 20mph. It could be argued that if the vehicle has been modified to exceed 20mph then what is being sold is not a golf cart.
And yes, since Florida law requires registration for a Low Speed Vehicle capable of exceeding 20mph but not 25mph, that sale would appear to not qualify for an exemption. WRONG: It appears that under Florida rule 12A-1.037(3), the private sale of a vehicle required to be registered would not be taxed at the sale. It would later be taxed when it was registered but the private individual would not be required to collect the sales tax.
Also, a recent change to Florida law now requires an operator under 18 to have a valid learner's permit or driver's license (which a 14 year old would not have).
