Clean the heck out of it and put in a set of used batteries. Showing it works and looks decent will get you a good deal more from a general buyer. There is a cleaner you can get for those seats that will make them look almost new.

Default Re: Cart value

The best way I've determined market value on my carts has been via the internet looking on ebay, facebook market place and googling to find similar carts for sale in my area in the same condition. I've also called and sent pictures to local dealers and asked them.

Is it a 36volt or 48 volt cart? In my area I see carts like this going between $800 & $1,800 but it does vary widely by location.

A few years back I saw a church sell a golf cart like this via a raffle / fund raiser. They did nothing to the cart and described it as a "project in the making" then they sold 100 tickets at $20 dollars per ticket and the winner got the cart.

Their logic was the winner got a great starting price on a "project cart" - next to nothing. The other 99 people felt good about the donation they made. The excitement about the maybe winning pulled people together who did not always attend the church. I believe they did the drawing on a Saturday morning along with a breakfast / bake sale and raised another few hundred extra dollars via the event. The big plus was they did not have to invest anything into clean up to try and sell it and all parties were happy. Just a thought....

For white vinyl we used SOS pads with bleach, the blue ones from the grocery store. They work wonders. Put the seat on the ground. Attack with a scrub pad in one hand and a garden hose squirt nozzle in the other. Works on white plastic bodies too.

Around my area an old Yamaha like that needing batteries is $800 maybe $1000 because the market is really strong right now for carts. That assumes the frame isn't all rusted out and it has a charger.

For a church I like the auction raffle ticket idea above. Will bring in more donation money if you can sell enough tickets for the church to help fix up the rest of the fleet and someone will get a good project.

The raffle ticket idea is definitely great. You might even see if someone can donate batteries in your area. I have been finding good deals on 1 year old batteries that cart shops are switching out when they sell a "newly refurbished" cart. If the cart runs, it is still worth a lot more when you can prove it. I would say the $1000 range is right for the time. 2 years ago.... maybe $500.
