my guess re gas v elec is that it depends on what your usage will be...for short trips [under 30 miles] elec is fine...no gas smell and quiet...BUT...there is battery recharging and maintenance to get the hang of...the gas cart just needs to get filled up and you go...with the noise and sometimes with the gas odor [tho there is some sort of exhaust extension now that seems to abate said problem]...no need to charge anything [except maybe the gas!]...rather than invest in a used cart, perhaps you could consider renting one type for a few months and then the other for a few months...that might be more expensive in the short run - but it might be better in the long run if you have to sell the one you bought for less than you paid for it.

we are snowbirds so we bought the gas model and have housewatch who will take it out for exercise [to keep everything in working order] while we are away...don't have to worry about battery stuff while we are gone. my guss is that when we get to spend more than 3 mos in tv we might add an elec cart to the fleet...my travels are short distance and i live the quiet!
