I think it depends on what your goals are. New tires probably around $200, if you get new wheels too probably $4-500. Around $700 for new bats. So you are in it for around $1400 to $1800 and you still do not know if it runs. I think you could find a newer running cart for around 2k. Good example is me, I have a year 2000 DS for sale with new tires and wheels, new controller and solenoid, new f/r switch, high speed motor, new roof, hd leaf springs, new brakes, and I do not think I will see anything over $2200
