That is a lot of hours for 3 to 4 years old..... IF they were part of a fleet and received regular maintenance, then you should be fairly well off. Just check them out thoroughly; ie: suspension, joints, drive axle, steering, undercarriage, and batteries.

Holy cow. Ivw got 2 carryalls... both are 2001. They're both under 1200 hours. And they're technically old enough to buy cigarettes and vote now

As long as its well maintained, you will probably be fine. I'd check the batteries closely or plan to replace them, that's a lot of charge cycles even though the cart is pretty new.

I'd also negotiate pretty heavily based on the hours on the machine. Not saying "dont buy it, that's too many hours" but use the hours to your advantage negotiating price. Then... Maybe use some of the saved money on upgrades (motor, alltrax, batteries, etc.). Then you'll have a brand new (better) drive system than you would with stock stuff and the hours dont matter.
