In my area 07's in running condition are bringing about 1600.00 to 1800.00 straight off the golf coarse. That is electric, same thing in gas are 2600.00 to 2800.00. Hope this helps.

Well I covered up the electronics and wiring with plastic and pulled the batteries and cleaned them up and cleaned the battery tray using a solution of baking soda and water. The battery tray is in better shape that I thought it would be. I might need to take a wire brush to it and hit it with some black spray paint.

At least it doesn't look as hideous...

Well this one isn't a golf buggy, it has the truck bed and is an '04. I'm not sure if that makes it any more or less valuable.

Go to your local golf car dealer and see if he has some used batteries, you can usually buy pretty good ones for $150 a set. New ones can be had at Sam's Club for $72 each.
While you're at the cart dealer get a key for a couple of bucks, they are all the same. You can get cables for cheap on ebay.
It's a nice clean series cart that could sell easily after it's running for $1500+.

I like Rustoleum hammered black, you can brush it on with a throwaway brush and push it into corners and cracks and drys funky bubbly.

My offer of $250 was taking in account of the $400 I'd have to spend in gas coming to get it. Throw it on craigslist for $800, somebody will bite.

Default Re: Should I sell it or fix it?

Well I made a little progress today, after pulling the batteries and cleaning them, I cleaned up the battery tray and painted it with some Rustoleum black spray paint (the brush on can I had in the garage was all dried out) and used cardboard to catch the overspray:



I went to the hardware store and bought some #4 AWG coper wire and copper lugs and made up some battery cables:



I filled the batteries with distilled water mixed with some epsom salt (I think it's a lost cause - nothing to lose) and got a set on the charger:



And I peeled off the company logos:



I tested the volatage on the 6 batteries most of them were around 3V, on of them is completely muerto... I gotta come up with three car or boat batteries and give it a try.

Talking Re: Should I sell it or fix it?

The cart sitting as it is now, I wouldn't give over $200.00 for it. I'd be buying the charger mainly. You need to get it running to try and get a little more out of it.

Wow... and I tought I was cheap...

Seiously, I could part it out on eBay for more than that...

The dang drop down bed has to be at least worth that...

I guess it's only worth what a buyer is willing to pay for it.
