2002 vs a 1995 Gas Yamaha- worth an extra $525? (Potential buyer...)
Hi, all! I'm in the market for a golf cart, and this guy at a golf cart dealer has two available that I need some advice on which would be better, or are both overpriced?
First is a 1995 Yamaha, good condition, says tires/brakes/steering is fine, for $975. The second is a 2002 gas Yamaha in good condition for $1500. Question: is there really a $525 difference between a 1995 and a 2002? Is it way easier to find parts/get repairs for a 2002? Is it HARD to find parts/get repairs for a 1995 cart? If you were me, would you buy either, or just keep looking for something cheaper? $1500 would be a big stretch for me and I'm not sure it's worth it. EDIT: I just asked the guy about if he does tune-ups for the carts there, and he said: "We run them through the shop and do a full service on them. It includes engine, clutches, steering and brakes." |

G16 Much more powerful engine. And really a great cart all around. Tuned up right and these will RUN!

I have an older G2 I paid $1000. for 8 years ago.I've never regretted it.I fokked it up myself by not checking the oil.I rebuilt it myself for less than $400.I still have it an it runs great.With the governor mod...it runs 25mph...which it plenty fast for me.Never hits the rev limiter.
Thanks to Davebigblock for keeping me in shape. |

Thanks for the advice! Yeah, sounds like the 2002 is the way to go, if I do it. Only problem is it's 4 hours away.
Also, I found a dealer closer to me (2 hours away rather than 4 hours) who has a 1997 Club Car with a rear-seat package already added, for $1200. Maintained as part of their rental fleet (rather than having lived on a golf course for its entire life, like the yamahas), serviced regularly, in good shape, etc. I'm considering that one also, since having 4 seats would be nice. Thoughts? |

My Motto is don't buy something you know your not going to like or be happy with. I paid $1300 for mine originally with no mods. Did I pay to much? Yes! Do I care? No! Do I like my golf cart? Hail yeah!
