Should I sell it or fix it?
Here's a Youtube video I shot of my 2004 TXT that I rescued from the warehouse, once I got it home and cleaned it up.
I'm really torn, should I sell it now or turn in into the next great project/money pit? I don't live in a neighborhood or subdivion that is cart friendly and the missus aint too happy with spending $600 on batteries. |

Re: Should I sell it or fix it?
if she's not liking the idea of $600 for batteries, she'll hate all the other money that'll get sunk into it. I'll come down there and get it outta your way plus give ya $250 for it. My cart in my avatar looked like the one you have before I started and right now I probably have $6000 in it.

Re: Should I sell it or fix it?
Those 04 batteries are toast. Don't waste your time taking them out if you are not going to replace them...... Just cut the wires off of them and hose them off so you don't scare a buyer the way you just scared me
She would bring 4-500 like that here. |

$1350 for a 7 yr old cart that probably need everything? You musta fell and bonked your head. Or maybe that's after the wife slapped ya for saying you need $600 for batteries.

What would be a reasonable (no BS) price for a cart like this as it sits? |

I was hoping to get $1000 out of it... Is that reasonable? If I got a fresh set of batteries in it and it runs good, what would be a reasonable selling price? I just need to figure out if it's worth putting any money into and if I could recoup my investment should I decide to sell later. |

Re: Should I sell it or fix it?
Just like a project car, bike or whatever else, you will never come close to breaking even. Any money you throw at it is gone. With your new batteries and wiring, IF it is fully functional, you'll be fortunate to get that $1k. Sad, but true. People who have and modify carts do so because they need or like them. You are not likely to make a living flipping them. I gave $500 for mine in non- operational condition knowing the batteries were wasted and I had to yank it out of the hole it had settled into over who knows how many years.

It would be cool to build a project buggy, but I'm not sure if I have the time or money to invest in it right now. Not looking to make a living doing it... I would like to get an idea of a reasonable price of what it would be worth, running or not... Somebody here offered me $250, maybe the truck bed is worth that alone. If someone showed up in my driveway with cash money and a decent offer, I would have to seriously consider letting it go. I thought about "parting it out" but don't want to go through the hassle. It's a good cart that needs some batteries and some TLC. I think it would make a good project cart for somebody, if not me. |
