2001 Yamaha 36 Volt Value

[rlpg]

Hi All

This is my second post and I have gotten the golf cart bug. I recently looked at a 2001 Yahama 36 volt cart that was lifted with 10" chrome wheels and tires and no rear seat. It looks in very good condition and the batteries have less than 5 hours on them. He started at $3600 and is now down to $2600 which still seams high. What is a good price for this type of cart and what are the problems I need to look for?

Thanks for your help!

I see a lot of views but no one has responded. Should I stay away from a Yahama. I can't find any other listings. Is it difficult to get parts?

Thanks

Although yamaha is not as common as ezgo or CC they are still great carts with find of parts,upgrades etc available. Yes $2,600 does seem high, there was a guy a month back that was looking to buy a mid 90s cart with a lift bigger tires and upgraded controller for the same price. If the batteries are new then it may be worth while ($500-1000 new) there aren't really problems with these carts but rather lots of things to spend money on and make faster, more torque, look better.

Yamaha is in third place behind CC and EZGO, but they are still good carts. I would guess a 12 year old 36v with new batts to be worth around $1600...

I tend to stay away from the "whats it worth" questions, because the market varies so much based on location. What might be a $2500 cart here, might be a $1500-2000 somewhere else. Your mileage may vary....also i do not consider Yamaha electrics to be third rate, change many CC OBCs lately? I have...

And what makes you a Yamaha electric expert? Have you owned one or worked on one?
