Bad Boy Buggies

What is a good price for a 2012 bad boy buggy? I might have the option of buying one from someone I know. Looks to be in good shape except that it still has original batteries, so I looks like I might have to purchase new ones. The back has the seat/flatbed. Mainly use for it for around the house, neighborhood and moderate hunting.

Go into to this deal knowing you will need to drop 1K for new batteries in the near future and you will be fine. If you buy it thinking you will not need new batteries you will be pissed when the time comes.

I thought they had a reputation of breaking and costing an arm and a leg to repair

Is $3,500 a good price? He was honest with me,saying the batteries will probably need to be replaced soon. The pics look good. I plan on taking a look at after work this week.

I've been looking at carts for a few weeks. You can get a lot for $4,500. (Cart plus batteries)
I have also heard bad things about Bad Boy Buggies.

Those were my thoughts also.
I've made a point in my life to never sell or by anything mechanical to or from a friend. Pissed a few people off but never lost a friend over it.

Golf cart is 2wd and a bad boy is 4wd so your not exactly comparing apples to apples. But also you’re right that bad boy buggies have a reputation of having a lot of issues.

Didn't think of that. Good point.

i rather buy an older model bad boy knowing i'm going to sink another 4k into it completely rebuilding and rewiring it.

My dad bought a used one and it always gave him problems. He caught hell trying to get parts for it. Ended up selling it for parts to someone who needed to fix theirs. It was a piece of shite.

I can't say that I have ever owned one or used one, but all I have read on various outdoor sites, I'd take a hard pass.

Seller should pay you to take it
Posted on 2/6/18 at 3:16 pm to fishbig
For that much, you could get a newer used golf cart and build it out the way you want it. Plus.
Sounds like your use doesn't really require 4wd, so no loss there. Easy to get parts for and much lighter.

i have a 2009 bad boy buddy. paid $3500 for it 3 years ago and its the best investment for hunting i have made. It's a beast. I keep the battery's in good shape and keep it covered at my camp. I don't know about the reputation for breaking down because i haven't had the first problem with mine.

Stepdad has one and I wouldn’t own one. It hasn’t broken down or anything but the batteries suck and he even just replaced them. I think hard about where your using it. Big part of his problem is we hunt the MS delta and that delta mud pulls so bad it it just drains the batteries. If your hunting solid ground woods it may not be as bad. Either way I don’t want to have to worry about that and would not buy electric.

I had one (don't remember the model year), and it was in the "recall" that E-Z-Go never announced (the Consumer Product Safety Commission did issue a recall). Mine was one of many that "ran away" @ full throttle -- with no one touching the gas pedal (thus the recall).

I don't know if they got any more reliable after E-Z-Go bought them. I do know they were pretty much re-designed after the acquisition.
I had enough troubles, and know enough other people who had troubles, that I'll never own a BBB again. I bought a 48-volt 2WD Beast to replace it - have had it for about 5 years - and couldn't be more pleased.

I have a Huntve 72 volt 4-wheel drive
Looks similar to a bad boy but more quality made
I’m really enjoying it
