Cost-wise, it is economical to buy a used golf cart. It will help if you have already decided what purpose the golf cart will serve and assist you to zero in on the right kind of golf cart you need.
Gas Powered Golf Cart: If you are going to use the golf cart for hauling cargo, then surely you will need a box for the cargo. The price of the box will be an extra expense on top of the price of the golf cart. Carts powered by diesel or gas engines can be used for heavy-duty loads. The operating range of these carts can be increased with a can or two of petrol or diesel stored in the back of the car. If there’s no electric supply at hand, gas or diesel powered carts are the right choice for you. Both are more costly to maintain and operate than an electric golf cart. They are noisy and pollute the environment. A diesel powered golf cart is more economical than a gas powered cart. 4-stroke engines are less noisy, cleaner and more economical than 2-stroke engines. Gas or diesel powered golf carts are not for you, if you want a silent and environment-friendly golf cart. These carts are not the preferred choice of customers. This is an important point to consider, if you are buying the cart with the intention of selling it in the near future. Used gas/diesel powered carts are not easy to find in the resale market. Before buying a used gas powered golf cart, better check on the new models of the same type.
Electric Golf Cart: Golf cart buyers are preferring electric golf carts. Batteries function as the heart of this type of cart. These carts come in 24 volts, 36 volts, 48 volts and 72 volts models. A 48 volts model performs well, in most cases. How much weight an electric golf cart carries, and at what speed, affects the operating range of the cart. Driving through rough terrain, climbing hills with heavy loads will be more taxing on the batteries than driving on a grass or asphalt road. Try to match your needs to the carts available for resale. Suppose you need more pulling power or speed than the selected cart delivers, then it can be modified. Electric golf carts are easier to modify than gas powered carts, but you will have to spend extra money to do so. Electric golf carts are environment-friendly and less noisy.
