If you are in the market for a golf cart you will most likely take a look at the shiny new golf carts available and want one of them but would used electric golf carts make a better long term purchase?
We all like brand new and shiny things and it doesn’t matter if it is something for work or for home. There seems to be something in human nature that makes us want shiny things but as humans we can use logic and our brains and our experience can often tell us that it might be wiser to avoid the temptation of the brand new and instead get a used golf cart instead.
One of the benefits of a used golf cart is price. A brand new cart will instantly be worth perhaps half what it cost the minute you take it from the showroom. There is an added percieved value in a new item of any sort and nobody will want to pay the same price for something used. It may have only done half a mile but it still counts as used.
On the other hand, just think what a good buy that almost unused golf cart would be for anyone who had the chance to buy it at such a reduced price. Many golf carts do, in fact, get little use. A privately owned golf cart might only do a couple of rounds of golf a week or even less.
Golf carts are hardwearing and can cope with quite a lot of use and even abuse and they continue to work well. Well looked after, privately owned used golf carts will do everything you ask of them and the interest you gain on the money you save by purchasing used electric golf carts can go towards the cost of a replacement. In fact, if you work out the savings and extra interest you gain, it may well pay for the next golf cart you buy. Now that makes a used golf cart a very good investment.
