Need some quick answers about an RXV

What would be the most you would pay for a 2009 RXV with charger that looks like new but has no batteries and possible bad controller?

I paid $4000 in January for a 2011 with lift, flip flop rear seat, 12" wheels, winshield, 2013 batts, charger, and programming.

There is very limited options for aftermarket controllers. I have read the older non-curtis controller is hard to get. So you have to buy a newer curtis with conversion harness(this is actually an upgrade and worth the extra $). Unless you find a used controller I'd expect $1000-1,200 +- install.

To answer your question - Assuming a basic stock cart $1500-2250 tops.

I know this will get asked...

What are the carts symptoms at the current moment? I don't know much but I'm sure the resident experts will be able to throw some diagnosis suggestions out there.

I will be back soon with some pics, but I think I'm getting one heck of a deal!

The cart was on craigslist 2009 RXV for parts, stated does not run or include batteries for $500. I called the man and he said he bought the cart and was told all it needed was batteries, he bought 4 new batteries and put in it and said it would only "creep" around, so I told him I would like to take a look. When I pulled up and seen it I was ready to give him $500 right then. Him and his brother which were both in their 60s or 70s showed me the cart. Then he tells me that he still has the 4 brand new batteries he is trying to get rid of for an additional $450. I told him I had $800 at home and could go get my trailer and come right back. He said sold and he was glad to get rid of the **** thing. Anyways he pulled the motor brake off it because he said that was the only was he could get it to move around. I don't know what is wrong with it, but i think i got the deal of the century no matter what.

Thats a deal! If it creeps, it seems to have a working controller. So, once we narrow it down, the repair ought to be $300 or less (instead of over $1k). Hook the batteries up, charge them, then test for yourself what the cart does, or doesnt do. Report back once you have charged & checked for yourself what it does.

I hooked everything up, batteries read 51.3 volts. Just like the seller said, the cart creeps in forward and reverse with grinding/scraping sound coming from the motor. When I push the cart it does not make any noise from the motor, only when the pedal is pressed and it is creeping.

That's a really good deal,, in my area it's not the price of these wheel and tire !!!!!!!!

So the brake is on or off at the moment?

I have tried with the brake removed and with the brake plugged in but not mounted on the motor
