You golf cart users

[lynx78]

have an opportunity to buy a golf cart for $2,000...less than 25 miles on it....E-Z Go brand....6 seater...gas, no battery
Is that a good deal?

What would you do with it? You don't live on Fantasy Island do you?

 

[lynx78]

LOL...no fantasy island ...just small town America where lots of folks use them throughout the town.... the side roads, etc.

It sounds like a good deal for a 6 seater but that’s if the engines good . You’d have to drive it to know that. Do they even make 6 seaters and where’s the battery?

Why no battery?

Golf carts are very popular on the roads in Sun City. That does sound like a great deal...almost too good to be true. Do you have a friend who might be able to check out it's condition ?

Why no battery?

Most likely a battery to start. but no batteries for power

Worked some golf courses in my early days
The golf carts for players/members had to be electric (little to no sound)
The maint crew had gas powered carts (little trucks)

@lynx78
Start it up
Give it a run
E-Z Go brand....6 seater...gas, @$2000 is a steal
Check your HOA (if you have one) for noise pollution
Some places are finicky about some things

Just out of curiosity I looked up the laws regarding driving golf carts in Sun City. They must meet all of the safety requirements as a regular vehicle, be registered and insured, and can not go faster than 35 mph on the road and no more than 4 can be in the golf cart. Of course, that is just for that region (and Arizona in general) so it might be a good idea to check out the laws in your area.

Sounds to me like a good deal. Although I prefer electric carts. No gas to store and the hassle getting it. Six seaters are very popular here in Florida. Still needs a small battery to turn over engine.

 

[lynx78]

Thanks...yeah, I meant it's not electric with the battery comment. Don't have to worry about HOA......I live in a rural area with no such thing

 

[jlhog]

I will assume this is an electric golf cart. Batteries can get expensive and need replacing after several years. I personally would not buy an electric cart and stay with a gasser.

They have become so popular around here that my village has posted signs on the major through roads that read ......... Caution, golf carts in use on all roads/streets in town.
