Is this a good deal? How fast is it?

fightingamecox

Hey guys,

I'm considering getting rid of my electric club car. I found a 2004 gas powered EZGO stock golf cart for $2100 on craigslist. Seems to be in good shape. All stock. Does that seem to be a good price.

How is the up keep on these versus the electric ones? How fast can I expect to go in stock form? My electric club car goes 13mph and is too weak to lift. I mainly want to go 25mph on the street at the beach with maybe a 23"-25" tire and 6" lift.

Thanks.

BGW

$2100 seems to be a good price but that always depends on the local market. With my Workhorse and 22" tires I easily made 23 mph on the stock motor. I would think you could reasonably expect to make that with 23-25" tires.
Maintenance wise, I personally think the gas carts are much easier than the electrics. And of course every 5 years or so, you'll have an extra 4 to 7 hundered you can spend on shiny stuff rather than batteries

Yup the batteries/maintenance can get a little pricy on the electric carts, usually the gas carts have a higher purchase price, but that seems to be reasonably priced @ $2100 I don’t think you will get 25mph out of it stock though, that will require quite bit of work.... O and some $$

Hi octane gas
some large tires
no diff gov. spring
But the motor/ignitior will limit the Rpm's so your not going to push it any farther than the motor will go.

with a lift and 22" tires you can sure get right close to 25mph. 23mph is probably more like it unless it's a hp(?) model, then it'll for sure hit 25mph.
a gas cart in good condition should be able to run several years with virtually no maintenance. kinda depends on how much you use them but it's pretty easy to go a couple years and not do jack to one. you can look at the owners manual in the tech section and it'll tell you what the maintenance should be on it.

I just got 22.4 mph with gps on my 81 G1 stock with 23" tires.

Thanks for all of the replies.

The original post spoke of a bone stock 2004 cart with no rear seat.

I also found this one on craigslist.

"http://greensboro.craigslist.org/rvs/1626772568.html"

1996 EZGO Gas with new paint, rear seat, lift bigger tires and wheels. Seems to be a good deal for $2895. He said he would give me about $700-800 for my 1990 Club Car resistor cart, 36V with 05 Trojan batteries. So I could pick it up pretty cheap.

What do you think?

nice looking cart!, seems like a pretty good deal. Nothing wrong going with a little bit older year like that, they are pretty much the same as newer ones but you save a bunch of money when buying them.
good price on the CC too, IMO
