Re: Buying a 23 y/o cart. A bad idea?
As many have mentioned I'd suggest looking hard for rust. As a guy who's 75% done rebuilding an 84' marathon I can tell you the rust may be worse then it appears at first. I planned on rebuilding all the electronics and drivetrain and can do all the metal work myself but the rust was worse than I thought. It was just a matter of taking longer than I expected as I was doing all the work so not a huge deal but if your not doing the rust repairs yourself I suggest really checking out the frame and battery trays etc like many have mentioned, it really snowballs once you start cutting something out, if your paying to have it done it will really add up
