Essential Questions when Buying Your Golf Car
How/Where will I use my Golf Car?
Knowing how you'll be using your golf car is important.
There are two main categories to choose from: Standard
Golf Cars for personal and golfing use, and Commercial
/ Industrial models.
Standard Golf Cars generally hold two to four people
and are typically used for personal use - getting
around a home, neighborhood or community. Commercial
/ Industrial models are often used for "utility"
purposes - hauling tools, parts, fertilizer, etc.
These vehicles often sport stronger engines, heavier
suspensions, larger tires, and can carry bigger payloads.
Gas vs. Electric Golf Car?
An often asked question is "should I buy a Gas
or an Electric Golf Car?". Gas Golf Cars give
you a greater range and may provide more power for
carrying heavy loads. This makes them a good choice
for long expeditions, hunting/ farming use, or using
for extended periods of time without the ability to
"recharge". Electric Golf Cars operate by
using a bank of standard lead-acid batteries. They're
designed to be used all day then recharged at night.
Electric cars are obviously quieter and can be cheaper
to buy, but future replacement of battery packs can
be expensive.
What features are important to me?
Common features that can be added to a golf car are:
rear seats, extended tops, lights, windshields, seat
covers and more. We "customize" cars on-site
and can get as fancy as you want: lift kits, upgraded
tires/wheels, paint jobs, performance enhancements,
and the list goes on. Browse our lot or website for
ideas and options.
What budget do I have in mind?
Golf cars can range in price form $1500.00 to $8000.00+.
Variables that affect this price range include: new
vs. used, gas vs. electric, the age of the car, how
much "reconditioning" it needs or has been
done, and the various options/accessories on the vehicle.
Choosing Golf Car Dealers
Choosing the right golf car dealer is important.
The dealer will provide the service and support to
keep your vehicle running smoothly, so it is critical
that you find one who is reputable, stable, and can
provide top-notch service. Years in business, parts
department, on-site service, factory trained mechanics,
and knowledgeable sales staff are all important things
to consider in the buying process - not just the "cheapest
price".
