Cracked front panel, what are my options
So i'm looking at buying this 98? Ez-go golf cart on craigslist and i'm trying to find out what my options are to fix the crack on the front panel. A friend of mine told me it is 500-600 to replace the panel which is a deal breaker since i'm not paying a whole lot more for the actual cart. Is there anywhere to replace this on the cheaper side? What about molding the crack together and a little paint job?

Re: Cracked front panel, what are my options
well the front cowl is plastic....and the price your friend quoted you is what a complete body would go for NEW. you could find a used front piece for a lot less, especially if it needs to be painted.
oh and btw.....Welcome to our happy little corner of the net, and to BGW. There is a BIG fridge on the back porch with anything you can think of in it...help yourself...of course only take what you can LEGALLY have. Make yourself at home on one of the big fluffy couches, kick your shoes off, put your feet up on one of the tables, yes we are allowed to do that, mom's, wive's, husbands, girlfirends and boyfriends here don't care....and take it easy. oh...btw....every once in a while a food fight breaks out...so you may not want to wear nice clothes here. Welcome!! |

If you can find a dealer or somewhere local that sales carts and parts you might be able to find a "take off" body. Usually shops will pull the factory bodies off and replace it with a custom painted one instead of painting the factory one. I found a close dealer that had a large stack of used bodies. I scored a front and rear piece for my cart for $75

Re: Cracked front panel, what are my options
Welcome to BGW!
Easy fix for the plastic is to patch like CTD said or replace with a used one that's not broke. Frame damage, however, is not easily or cheaply fixed. The whole cart kind of looks a little, well, tweaked. It's been rolled over on its right side at one point, and aside from being cracked the front cowl looks to be pushed forward more on the passenger side than on the driver's side. Unless you can get this cart for one heck of a good deal, and don't mind some metal straightening, I would probably keep looking. Just my $0.02... |

Re: Cracked front panel, what are my options
Your welcome, I'm glad I didn't offend anyone, I wasn't trying to point out a ton of flaws, just some things I know most buyers want to know. Batteries are probably half or a little better through their life, depending on the care that was previously taken of them, You could probably pull about two maybe three more years out of them, again, depending on the care that has previously been taken of them. Pricing varies by location, I would personally look to pay less for a cart in that condition and with batteries that old. Others will chime in I'm sure, which would be helpful. I'm in WV, and cart pricing here tends to be different from most other places.
