Employing a Used Golfing Cart

What might be better for tooling around an enormous piece of property than a little electrically powered auto made for 2 or more passengers and a little bit of equipment? If your answer is nothing then you're on the lookout for a golfing cart.

Although developed and marketed for the use of golfers to expedite a "walk" around a course, golf carts are also used for transporting people around places that are too expansive for walking, but would be too confined or crowded for ordinary cars. Movie studios and their back lots are famous for their use of golf carts.

Golf carts are often seen at recreational parks, big flea markets and communities that appreciate their quiet, non-polluting convenience. Since their use as transport in so many areas, makers currently offer golfing carts with car-like accessories and capabilities.

New or Used?

If you are in the golf cart market for yourself or your organization, how do you make the choice between a new or used golf cart?

Golf courses are still the major patron for golfing carts, naturally, and they have got a giant turnover. Courses replace their fleet of carts each 2 or 3 years, which makes a second hand golfing cart a straightforward commodity to find. If your company is searching for a few carts to zip around a business or recreational park, you could be enticed by the chance of customised, logo-painted, high performance auto.

That sounds so much better than a tired, old used golf cart that was designed to putter the retired golfers around a course at safe (read "boring") speeds and no chance of disturbing anyone's concentration.

First, the critical fact : a second hand golfing cart is half the cost of a newer one. The difference in price runs into the thousands. Now multiply that by the quantity of carts your business wishes.

Second, and even better, the largest manufacturers of golf carts all sell kits to upgrade that used golf cart. The manufacturers call them aftermarket parts. You can get lift kits, larger tires, a larger engine, hitch mounts, cargo boxes, audio systems, and decal sets. That should cover the cool factor.

The Used Golf Cart Industry

Whenever there is a big supply matched with a big demand, you know there's an industry. You can buy a used golf cart refurbished or "as is." The refurbished carts are inspected and cleaned and often come with a warranty. The "as is" used golf cart is, of course, a little cheaper and comes with the same caveat as a used car.

The choice is yours. A second user golfing cart at 1/2 of the price, as is or renovated and a cool kit of O.E.M parts or a new cart at two times the cost.
