Feb 15th 2014
Are you looking for the golf cart of your dreams? Then check out this Golf Cart Buyer's Guide and make the right decision.
Step 1: Your Budget, Priorities and Needs
The following factors should be taken into account as you determine your needs, priorities, and budget:
- Gas-powered carts
- Electric Golf carts
- The number of seats
- Performance in terms of speed and power
- The used mechanic's dream will be the cheapest option
- The higher-end used cart is the next upgrade
- Brand new and basic carts
- Brand new and fully loaded carts
These factors can be put together in numerous configurations.
Step 2: What’s your purpose to have the Golf Cart? (Electric vs. Gas Powered)
Fill ‘er up vs. charge?
Those whose use involves long ranges before being put up for a few hours prefer the gas option to go to a gas station if they can legally drive to one or bring a gas can. Those whose use remains within a small square mileage prefer the electric because parking and plugging it in is more convenient than getting gas.

Step 3 – New or Used?
Factors to consider when choosing new or used:
New Carts Benefits
- New carts are more expensive
- Easier to customize desired features
- Brand new warranty
- Maintenance covered under warranty
- Perfect condition
- Drive perfectly
- You won't be the guy who keeps a tool kit on his cart and ends up popping his hood between the 4th and 5th greens.
If your budget only allows you for a used cart:
Used carts can be found locally, but to get the best bang for your buck, go for golf carts that just ended their lease with a country club. Buy from the country club or the leasing company. These carts are well treated and well maintained until the country club turns them over. Keep in mind that these used gas carts can be retrofitted with a Lithium-ion battery kit.
