Which Precedent would you choose?!

[God of Thunder]

Okay. I am looking to buy a Precedent. I don't want much - just a lift kit and a new set of larger tires. It will mainly go around campgrounds and the streets here - nothing off road. So I found two carts - and am looking to get either but am looking for your advice on which you'd prefer.

1. 2007 Club Car Precedent. Less than a year old batteries. SGC Lift Kit. Newer SS tires/wheels, LED lights front and back. White/Beige color. $4100

2. 2017 Club Car Precedent. 10 years newer than the first option. 2018 batteries. No Lift Kit, Custom Wheels, No Lift Kit, Pretty much stock. $4100

So for the same price, would you go with a cart that already has everything you want? Or would you get a mostly stock one (grey) for the same price, and then have to fork over another $1000 for a lift kit, tires?

For me that would be a No Brainer! always get the newest one as money will allow!. 10 years is 10 years.

Couple of things to be aware of: Precedents came with 12v batteries until 2008 when Club Car switched back to 8vs and offered a kit to convert the older carts. I think in 08 you could have it either way but sometime that year they gave up on the 12vs altogether best I can remember. Also there were other minor changes to the cart but I don't remember what they were. Not significant I don't think so not enough by themselves to swing the decision.
2014 is the year CC ditched the OBC and switched to the ERIC charging system. The '17 cart has these updates and even if neglected you could surmise all the bushings and stuff of that nature are in better shape unless the older cart has had immaculate service.
I making judgements on carts I can't see and I'm prejudiced by my experience and how I would use the cart----might be much different than you. I'm not a fan of the 12v batteries and would generally lean to a newer model if given the choice. 2cents

I want to thank you both! I opted for a 2014 in red today with the ERIC charger. I told myself that I can always buy the lift kit/tires/etc, but I can't buy years.
