What to Look for When Buying a Cart?
Hey fellas, I'm looking to buy a used cart and have been reading up on the site. A lot of good info. I'll be using it on the farm/deer lease of about 75 acres (pretty flat with one dry creek crossing). The attached looked nice. I believe its a 2005 EZGO. Here's the details the seller has posted:
NEW FOLD DOWN REAR SEAT W/DIAMOND PLATE DECK NEW REAR SAFTY BAR NEW 23" ALLTERRAIN MOTO TIRES NEW 12" CUSTOM ALUMINUM WHEELS NEW 6" A-ARM AXEL LIFT NEW SPINDLES,AXELS,TIE ROD,BEARINGS NEW FRONT AND REAR LIGHT PACKAGE NEW WIRING HARNESSES AND LUME NEW FUSES,RELAY,AND SWITCHES NEW IGNITION 3 WAY SW ON-OFF LIGHTS NEW SUSPENSION BUSHINGS FRONT-BACK NEW HEAVY DUTY 4 LEAF SPRINGS FRAME REPAINT FRONT AND BACK NEW 4 GA. WIRES ON BATTERIES T-105 TROJAN BATTERIES From what I've read it sounds like it might be best to add a new controller. I'm going to check it out on Saturday. Any thoughts on what I should look for? Anything I would need to upgrade right away? Thanks for your time guys! |

would cripple it instantly, but those bigger tires/wheels are gonna put a strain on the controller for sure. Did they happen to mention if it was a series or a PDS cart? $3300 seems a bit high but not unreasonable. The cart is clean looking and they spent close to $1500 on the upgrades. I'm assuming since they didn't put "NEW" in front of it that the Trojans are probably used, so you have to take into consideration that you will likely have to replace them in the near future. |

Test drive it were you can go up some hills/terrain similar to the conditions you will be subjecting it to.

Re: What to Look for When Buying a Cart?
Look for the age of the batteries. It is stamped on the post of each battery with a letter and number. The letter corresponds to the month and the number is the year. For example G4 is July 2004 which would mean the batteries are 6 years old and for all intent and purposes at the end of their life and will need replaced ($650). If the batteries have mixed dates (greater than one year apart) on them I would be skeptical as well. As Chevy states a gas cart maybe a better choice to cover that much area.
