Buying a Golf Cart: New or Used?
Golf carts are used for any number of jobs, from comfortable transportation around the golf course, neighborhood, or campus to assisting with maintenance and utility work—or even for off-roading! But when you buy one, there are a lot of choices to make to help you get the right one, starting with whether you want to buy new or used.
We here at Revel 42 Golf Carts & Powersports know that everyone’s needs are different, so we’ve put together a comparison between the advantages of both new and used golf carts. To learn more, or to see the golf carts we have for sale, contact our store in Garner, North Carolina, today!
Benefits of Used
Used golf carts can sound scary, but they have plenty of benefits that make them more than worthwhile.
Affordable
The biggest and most obvious advantage here is the price. Used golf carts have depreciated, meaning their original sticker price has been slashed significantly. But the savings don’t stop when you leave the dealership! Insuring, maintaining, and repairing a used golf cart tends to be cheaper than doing the same with a new one.
Preparation
Used golf carts have been on the market for a while, which means plenty of other folks have had time to buy and explore the various models you have to choose from. Use that! Check online reviews on any model you’re interested in and look for patterns. This can tell you whether the model has any known issues or quirks ahead of time.
You also get a wider variety of options, allow ing you to pick and choose more carefully. Used golf carts can range from a year old to many, giving you options from many brands, many lineups, and many versions.
Benefits of New
Of course, new golf carts have their own benefits and advantages.
Peak Performance
A new golf cart is a factory-fresh golf cart. That means that any model that has yet to leave the lot will be at its prime. You can enjoy unworn parts and mechanisms, smooth controls, and a shiny coat of paint without worrying about whether or not the previous owner kept up with repairs. There is no previous owner!
Warranty
And we can’t discuss brand new golf carts without mentioning their warranties. On the off chance there’s a manufacturing error or there’s some other defect or flaw, a manufacturer warranty is almost certain to cover it. No expensive repairs for a factory defect, and that’s only a guarantee in a new model.
