G16 and sounds like a good price if in good shape.

Bypass the governor and they'll run around 30
Lots of upgrades for these
Best upgrade after a lift and bigger tires is the torque spring kit

I have one and love it. I have the new clutch spring with a Jakes lift and 22In tires. It is a ball to drive off and on road.


<---------- fun

Sounds like a great price and like Sprid says, lots of up grades available for the G16. Mine ran about 27mph with very little work.
Where is it? If you dont buy it maybe I will

Cool thanks guys the everything on the cart looks to be in good shape like I said before completely stock owned by a senior to play golf which is what I was looking for I would rather take it and abuse it than buy it abused from someone else You guys are the best I will post pics and surely have tons of questions after I pick it up!
Much different than my G1!

I had a 99 G16. Boy, I miss that cart. It would fly too. If this cart is like you said, it should be a great cart. Mine came from some older person that used it to drive about 50 ft back and forth from a cabin. Practically brand new as far as mechanics go.

I just bought one. Ihad to give 1500 for it and put kingpins in it and a few more inexpensive things such as a new light switch and some cosmetic stuff. It's lots of fun.

Sounds like a great buy to me. Just make shure the differential/tranny is not cracked/making grinding noises. You don't want to know the repacement cost after Yamaha stopped using Dana's. They have tripled in price for an assy or parts.
