It is tough to value, I am going through the same thing with my 2000 Par Car. Things that will increase its value to a "knowing buyer":
- Anything that is upgraded from stock, i.e., motor, controller, wheels and tires.
- Quality of enclosure
- Condition of battery compartment, did the the owners keep clean, etc.
- Condition of batteries
The paper is a great place to get an idea of value. If you want a low ball number call some of the ads in the paper that will "pay top dollar" for your cart. If nothing else it is a data point.
I just bought a 2002 Club Car DS 48V, that was re manufactured in 2008. It is spotless, great enclosure, slightly enhanced motor (22 MPH), but the batteries are three years old (deduct $400) and will need to be replaced next year. I paid $2050. Good deal or not? Not sure, but it is a data point and my wife loved it, so what could I do?
Where were you last week, I would have told you your cart is worth $1300 and offered to take it off your hands
