Is this a good buy

Gorhad · 01-22-2010, 03:45 PM

I'm new to golf carts, but i would like to learn about them.

On craigslist there's one for sale very close to where i live, in fact its a bout 2 miles away. here's the link http://spacecoast.craigslist.org/rvs/1523718744.html

Is this a good buy and what should i be looking for when i go see it tomorrow.

Thanx

Depends on the Year of the batteries.

Gorhad · 01-22-2010, 04:02 PM

Ok,

so if they are newer batteries?
If they are older bad batteries?

I also read on another thread to look at the battery supports for corrosion

He's asking 700 is it possible do you think depending on condition to get it lower

I know, it depends on a number of factors

Just trying to get some advice

6-800 for new batteries, 125 or so if the batt. tray is rotted. check the steering ,suspension, tires and especially the frame( this one is aluminum but check for corrosion or cracks.check t he negitive batt. post for build dates on the batts.there should be a letter. a=jan b=feb etc. then a number signifying the year of construction of the batt.

Thats a lot of money for a 27 yr. old golf car.I pwould not want over 500 in it.

Gorhad · 01-22-2010, 04:21 PM

See that was my thought due to age etc, however because i havn't a clue about them i wasn't sure, give me jet ski's any day LOL

Gorhad · 01-22-2010, 04:32 PM

So should i offer initially depending on the condition say 4 or 500

I am new to the cart scene myself, but I just bought a 92' model with 08' batteries for $400. After getting it home and doing a lot of reading on here I find that I am going to have to bite the bullet and invest in new batteries......with that expense I am probably border line of having in the cart what I can maybe get back out of it. I would have been sick paying $700 and then another $550 for batteries unless it was A MUCH newer model with better resale value.

Thats just something to think about. Also IMO, I would NEVER pay anyone on Craigslist their asking price

Mine was on there for $550. and I paid $400 for it....remember all they can say is "NO".
