Pre-Owned vs New
Golf carts are much like cars. In most cases, buying a used golf cart can save you money while still checking off all of the boxes on your wish list. Saving money on the cart itself can allow you to throw in a few extra upgrades and remain in your budget. All of our pre-owned carts undergo an extensive inspection to make sure you are getting a quality golf cart and there won't be any surprises when you get home.
New carts come at a higher price though there are a few benefits that might make you decide it is worth it. Most important is the longer warranty that comes along with a new cart. It will vary by manufacturer, however, it will always be longer and more comprehensive than purchasing a used cart. Additionally, with every new model that is released manufacturers are making improvements to their products. When purchasing an older cart you may miss out on some of these changes that could improve your riding experience.
Gas vs Electric
First, think about what the primary use of the golf cart will be and how often you will be using it. Electric carts run on a 36 V or 48 V battery pack and tend to be less expensive. Additionally, they eliminate the regular fuel expense that comes along with a gas cart. Electric golf carts are great for frequent starting and stopping and operate with very little noise. The downside is that the cart needs to be fully charged after each use, and typically will not last a full day if it is being used often; this can be a burden if you need the cart for more continuous use. Other factors that can affect battery life are outside temperature, accessories in use, total weight of the load on the car, and the age of the batteries.
Gas powered carts run on a small engine similar to your car, and will require regular maintenance and fuel costs. The biggest benefit of gas-powered golf carts is that they are optimal for long-term, continuous use. You can keep moving as long as you have gas to put in the tank, unlike electric carts, which can require up to 8 hours to charge fully. The smell and noise level of gas carts can be a deterrent for many, but newer models have been improved to reduce these to minimal levels.
Overall, technology for both types has drastically improved in the last few years. You now have the option to choose an upgraded battery type, like lithium-ion, which can give you improved performance while maintaining the convenience of an electric golf cart. Similarly, gas carts are now produced with electronic fuel injection to reduce noise and improve performance.
Maintenance Costs
Gas-powered and electric carts both require regular maintenance to keep them operating smoothly and efficiently. The amount and frequency required will vary based on the type and how often it is used. Maintenance related to the tires, suspension, alignment, and brake system will be similar; however, there are some key differences in maintaining their run systems.
Gas-powered golf carts require maintenance similar to that of your car, including oil changes, spark plugs, fuel filters, and starter belts. This maintenance should be performed after every 50 hours of use. Failing to perform these routine tasks can result in expensive repair bills or even complete engine failure. Costs can be reduced to parts if you can perform these tasks on schedule yourself. Ask us about our on-site Preventative Maintenance Services if you don't have time to get your hands dirty.
Electric golf carts require regular charging to ensure proper operation and maximum battery life. Golf Carts need to be charged after each significant use. If the cart is not being used regularly, then they should be charged every few weeks; the batteries should never be allowed to drain completely. Along with charging, the battery water levels must be maintained if you have lead-acid batteries. The frequency needed for refilling them will vary based on how much the cart is used and the age of the batteries. We recommend checking the water levels every week until you become familiar with how your use and maintenance needs relate. More expensive sealed battery types like AGM and lithium-ion will not require maintenance of water levels.
The main expense with an electric cart is replacing the battery pack. A set of batteries typically lasts between five and ten years, but this varies significantly due to the quality and type of the batteries purchased, the frequency and length of cart use, and the quality of care. The costs associated with replacement can range from $1,500 to $3,000, depending on the type of batteries chosen. Properly maintaining your batteries can ensure you get the most life out of each pack.
