Three years ago I began seriously looking for an older cart just to drive around the neighborhood. I didn't have any brand favorites or required options. Just a golf cart! I found several within 50 miles, mostly on Craigslist in Jacksonville, Fl. Prices that I checked out ranged from a low of $1400 to a high of $3500. The $1400.00 one was only 4 years old with new batteries, an EZGO. I jumped at it only to learn it was a misprinted ad. It was supposed to be $3400. I found a 1976 EZGO just 10 minutes from my house on Craigslist for $1300 with 4 new batteries and 2 good ones. This was not a bidding option, but a firm price which turned into a bidding war by email. I jumped on it as did many other buyers. It sold in one day for something over $2000. to the highest bidder. I was notified by email of that just 2 hours after offering $1500.00. I finally found my 1999 CC DS, completely stock with almost 4 year old batteries at a feed dealer. He wanted $2000. for it. Two weeks later it still sat on the lot. Many people looked at it but no offers. I offered $1850. if he agreed to replace one front end bushing and he accepted. It was not a very good deal on my part, but that is how it goes around here. If you can find one you like at ANY price, chalk it up to supply and demand and learn to be happy with the purchase. EVEN IF YOU NEED TO SPEND ANOTHER $2500.00 ON IT TO MAKE IT RIGHT WITHOUT EVEN NEW BATTERIES! |

Same here. A turd that is structurally solid will bring a grand.

I agree with you on the DS looks. It seems... substantial. Timeless, perhaps. I even like the looks of our humble cart. The photo in my original post doesn't do it justice. You all should see her when she is clean. I'll wash and polish her over Thanksgiving, slap some Armour-All onto the tires, take an "after" photo immediately afterward (carts don't stay clean for long on those roads), and post the photo for everybody to enjoy. Another reason I'm inclined to stick with series drive is that I am tremendously impressed by the current cart's load capacity and towing capacity. It easily hauls four big adults while simultaneously pulling me on a bicycle as I hang onto a roof or rear seat support (yeah, yeah, I know, not the world's safest practice). I added a home-brew trailer hitch and it pulls massive loads of dead vegetation. I will grant you this, the most problematic part of the drive system has been the mechanical FNR switch, which seems incredibly sensitive to getting wet (although it has always dried out after a couple of hours). Electronic switching would be nice! |

It's amazing, CC seems to outnumber EzGo by about 5:1 on the island, yet there is a golf cart junk/parts enclosure where the ratio seems reversed. The CCs just don't seem to die, even in that harsh environment.
