Looking to buy a cart

Fishman7 · 11-23-2010, 12:43 PM

ive made my mind up as to brand CC.
im looking for a newer model year 07-09 and have about 2000.00 before any mods is this possible or am i too far off ?

also looking at the Jake's 6" kit 10" wheels with off road tires
would like black but i may have to paint it unless i get lucky

im in south florida if that helps

Some dealers are unloading CC cheap because of economy and "One thing", be sure it DOES NOT HAVE 12 volt batterys as CC has gone back to 8 volt batterys because of short runs and battery life? Cost to change over runs about $450. plus batterys???

Fishman7 · 11-23-2010, 04:30 PM

can anybody tell me what came standard in a 2008 CC DS as for batteries
4- 12 v or should it have been 6 8 V ???
i went to look at one today its like new but it has 4 -12V they want 2500.00 very clean Cart

Its your choice of course but remember that CC has dropped 12 volt and are now only putting out carts with 8 volts? Around my area a 12 volt cart was selling for $1000-$1800 less than 8 volt carts because of conversion costs.

i was very into this cart until i lifted the seat and saw the 4 12V the cart is super clean but i just dont know about the 12V set up
now im back to looking for another cart still leaning to the DS body but want the 8V batts

I have a cc precedent with 07 betteries with the 4 12v system with a PQ purple motor and have never had any trouble. We use it around the hood and to hold my beer going to the pool in the summer. I have no regrets with the 4 12v system. The batteries are still going strong and only charge it once a week. Old Mec is the man and always offers the best advise..but from my experiece I would not let the 4 12 stop me from buying another precedent.

Fishman7 · 11-23-2010, 09:18 PM

the cart im looking at and considering buying is a DS 4- 12V its a 2008 model like new super clean for 2500.00

ive just read the 8v is a better set up would you think this to be a deal Breaker ???

do the presidents only have the ability for 4 12V ?

OK, I'm confused.. They built a DS model with 4 X 12vts in it? I thought the DS's were all 6 X 8vts.. Learn something new everyday..

Fishman, my 2 cents, as quoted, I have never seen a DS with the 12s but I think it would be cheaper to change a DS back to 8s than a Pres. Less modifications. Are the batteries the black tops ? I have heard they are the ones with issues but again I know many people with them that have had none.. Go figure..

Again, welcome to the madness

i thought the same i actually went to write the check for the DS and when i looked under the seat i saw the 4 batt's and scratched my head like WTF happened to the other 2 batts ?????

by the ser # its a 2008 i was careful to look at the battery area it doesnt look like anything has been changed so i would assume its a stock set up with the 4-12V

im more partial to the DS than the President but i could be swayed im so on the fence righ t now

2500 for a DS i get to mod it
2000 President i get to mod it
3500 for a fully modded President

Wouldn't do anything rash yet, wait a little and one of the cc gurus will jump in. Its your choice as a DS or Pres but both can be made into just about anything you would like.. Was chasing a Pres last weekend with 6 12s in it. Only reason I caught him is because someone got in the way..
