I may be in the market for a used golf cart in the very near future. I'm not looking for anything fancy, just something that is reliable and in good condition.

Any advice on where to start looking and experiences with making this type of purchase would be very helpful to me.

Hopefully this is the right board for this question. Thank you

Golf Cart dealers may have used inventory.
My personal favorite: equipment auctions.


Check the batteries before purchasing. It can cost north of 1,500 to replace them. Figure that into the cost of whatever you’re buying.

Many thanks. Is there a device that is used to check the batteries?

A multimeter to check DC voltage

A visual inspection tells a lot. If they look old and beat to shite they’re probably nearing the end. They also might have a visible date sticker.

If you don't know how to do this, get someone who does to go with you. Regardless of what the cart looks like on the outside, don't buy one (New or Used) without checking the batteries yourself. Don't trust the dealer/salesman on this unless they are giving you a warranty for free that includes the batteries.

I appreciate it but I think 2025 might be a little new for my budget. Many thanks though

What’s the budget? I may be willing to come down to your budget. Just need to get it off of my hands.

ETA: it’s a black EZ GO Freedom RXV

Beware of scammers. People will put a new body on an old frame and claim it’s a two year old cart. It’s rampant.

Learn to decode serial numbers for whatever make you’re looking at. If they won’t provide you with a photo of the serial number, run away.

Lithium or lead acid batteries?

Thank you Mr. Putt. I haven't decided on a budget because I haven't done enough research to understand the used golf cart market. I will keep your offer in mind as I proceed with this process.

No worries. Once you get a budget and you think you found something, come check the cart out and I will match that price. Won it in a hole in one contest and the cart has literally never been used.

Not to potentially snipe Recognizable Poster’s opportunity but I’m interested in seeing pics and discussing. If you don’t mind shoot me an email at threeputthank at yahoo. Where are you located?

(PS- I guess your username was in the back of my mind when I signed up. The resemblance wasn’t intentional. Ha)
