Looking at buying a 2010 tomberland emerge 500 LE
I Just came across the cart for sale. Brand new US batteries just put in. Looks to be in really good shape. But never heard of tomberland until I saw this cart. Asking price is $4,250 from a dealer. Would like your thoughts on the carts in general, as well as price. Thanks! I'll attach the link to the ad.

It's a Tomberlin.
Take a look at the other threads in this section for more insight. |

I have a 10 Tomberlin with 6800 miles and I enjoy the heck out of the cart. I only had one issue that occurred after the cart was wrecked. I drive it everyday.

Re: Looking at buying a 2010 tomberland emerge 500 LE
I have a friend with one and she loves it to death and drives the heck out of it daily. It's got a lot of cool bells and whistles, great range, speed braking.
The problems started when it started having wear related issues with the brakes and a leaking axle seal and was quoted a ridiculous amount to repair it as "the parts are hard to get"... I looked into it and found repair parts are indeed difficult to find and aftermarket parts and accessories seem nearly nonexistent compared to the big 3 cart manufacturers. I would call a David Hicks at Revolution carts to verify what I saw before buying one. Additionally the Tomberlin dealership closed last year in The Villages in Florida and ParCar is reluctantly servicing the Tomberlins... The Villages has an estimated 55,000 golf carts in one community! It would concern me if a cart manufacturer can't keep a dealership open there of all places... Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk |

Brake problems galore, with the brakes, and the parking brake system. Working on them sucks. We sold 2 of them new, they're "boomerangs" that were in all the time for similar issues on both.

Brake issues for sure. There are better brake parts now. Wheel cylinders where the main cause. Not really hard to work on, but many are intimidated by them and don't understand them. Parts can be a bear to get at times, but mostly the odd ball stuff.

Re: Looking at buying a 2010 tomberland emerge 500 LE
Thanks for you input everyone. I ended up finding a good deal on a 2015 club car and went for that. (it was cheaper then the tomberlin). after doing my fair share of research i decided it was in my best interest to get a cart that parts are readily available for.

Re: Looking at buying a 2010 tomberland emerge 500 LE
think knee jerk is if it isn,t ezgo or club car must be no good,,but take a look at all the bad parts and things that happen and neg,posts about both of those,, not sayin one is better than the other but just because someone writes a bad post doesn,t make it bad,, brother has 2009 , emerge with actual 11000 miles on odometer all he has done is put batt,s in it, very few people bother to write good things usually only bad,,just sayin
