Post 2014 vs 2015 Advice needed

Hello from sunny Jacksonville, FL. I am moving into buying a CC Precedent and have a 2014 (used at a warehouse and never on a course) and a 2015, that was off lease and on its second post lease owner. Full details below

2014 for $4,200
2017 batteries Trojans (875s), that are said to discharge in 1.25 hours.
Standard roof
LED light head/tail light (no signals)
HD leaf spring
GTW rear seat
12” wheels
Speed code 4

2015 for $3,500
2015 batteries
Extended roof
Full LED light kit with signals
HD leaf springs
MADJAX Genesis 250 rear seat
10” wheels
Speed code 4

Need the advice of you experienced ladies and gents to decide what is the better way to go. Lower hours, “good” batteries or off lease with room to buy new batteries and be at the same cost as the 14.

Thanks in advance.

The latter all day. Think of it this way, you are always going to be changing batteries every few years regardless. I personally wouldn't decide on batteries alone, I would look at the condition and options of the cart in question, which in your case and price, the cheaper is the better option, in my opinion...

Other than 10" wheels, the '15 is a better deal. The batteries appear to be shot in the '14 also, but its moot since they both need a set.

AND, the '15 came off and lease and that generally relates to a detailed maintenance program.

Also look at the chargers. Are they both ERIC? The 2015 would be but the 2014 might be or not depending on when in 2014. If the 2014 has a PowerDrive charger and an OBC then there is no question, the 2015 one any day.

Even if the 2014 one is also an ERIC charger I would still prefer the 2015 one.

Don't worry about the batteries, they'll both need replacing soon anyway.

Yes, the 14 is a week 35, no OBC has ERIC charger. Wasn’t sure with the “less hours” being in a warehouse for security rounds if that would have been better.

Yeah, getting the 15 a set of 12s in the near future. Will likely keep my eyes peeled for deals online or lightly used set.
