Great question -- I am wondering the same thing since a pre-owned golf cart is next on my list (after the house closing this Friday).

Just always be careful if you are purchasing an electric cart and make sure you get a copy of when new batteries were installed, if its over three years old. Batteries can cost a good amount, $500. or more. Best to know so this doesn't take you by surprise. Just my thoughts ....

Also, is it 36v vs 48v---big difference

I doubt their is a blue book. Probably just review classified ads to get a feel for price.

This is the best advice because there is no used price reference for golf carts.

When I was going to trade my cart on a new one, the dealer called a whole sale cart person for price. You will do better by selling yourself.

Helpful responses. Thank you.

First decision is the electric/Gas choice. Once you get past that check out this site.

Golf carts for sale both new and used as well as gas and electric.

Compare prices on there and then go looking. what you get is up to you.

Personally I just bought a gas Yamaha off of the classifieds here.
If your not sure of the quality of what your getting and don't know how to check out the cart. Call one of the local golf cart mechanics to check it out for a small fee of course.
Good Luck

We bought a late 90's gas Yamaha with newer sunbrella, cooler, sand bottle, locking glove boxes and paint 6 years ago for $2,200.

Have put in nearly $2,000 in repairs and replacement parts over the 6 years.

Have seen similar carts advertised for around $2,500.

It seems that it has had very little depreciation in the 6 years. Not a bad way to go.

I think buying a late model cart in the $8,000 range would probably have about the same repair/parts replacement cost but about a 50% or so depreciation over a 5 or 6 year period.

You see a lot of newer carts running around and you seen a lot of older carts running around. U payz ur money and takes ur choice.

Looks like most of the ads for carts in Fla are in TV.

With electric carts there are three high cost items that need to be checked. We all know about the batteries, but what about the motor ($900) or the Mcor (motor control $500)? Check to see if they have been replaced especially in older carts.

Last year bought a remanufactured Yamaha gas cart. It carries a 5 year warranty. There are some good used carts. We purchased one for a second cart and invested about half as much money----but no warranty. It's "buyer beware" in the used golf cart market.

Thank you for your help

I've got a friend that has a 4 seater electric Yamaha she's selling, only because she wants a 6 seater. Real good condition, new wheels even. If you want info, email me at reverserevolution180@gmail.com
