As an increasing number of neighborhoods embrace golf cart accessibility, the popularity of these intelligent electric vehicles is on the rise. Nowadays, there are a wide variety of golf carts tailored to meet your specific requirements. If you're considering buying a golf cart, it's essential to inquire with a golf cart dealer by asking a several key questions.

What Features Will Be On the Golf Cart & How Do They Work?

Golf carts can come with many different features. You will want to find all features that are on the golf cart and have the dealer walk you through the cart and give visuals on how to operate all features before test driving. After purchasing, you will also want the dealer to go through a quality checklist and verify all features are working properly. Golf carts do have manuals for instruction and you can also find most online. Do not hesitate to reach out to your local dealer to ask any questions you may have.

Can I Get The Maintenance History?

For preowned golf carts, you will also want to get filled in on available service history. Due to the fact that golf carts do not have a VIN number, there is no way to view service history unless it was serviced at the dealer you are purchasing it from.  Most dealers will go through the carts to fix them up, but you want this information so that you can make a well-informed decision.

How Old Is It?

Since some golf carts do not record mileage the same way a regular vehicle would, you will want to know the age of the cart. Keep in mind though, that an older golf cart doesn’t necessarily mean it’s not a good deal. Many golf carts are driven infrequently. An older golf cart could still be in great shape because it was rarely driven. As mentioned in the above paragraph, older golf carts are often refurbished to lengthen durability and safety. 

What Should I Do When Our Golf Cart Needs Service?

When purchasing your golf cart, it is important to know where the work on the cart will be completed in order to set up a regular maintenance plan and ask questions to those who are hands on. Some dealers will have a service department with or near their main store, whereas some do not do service work. It is important to know the warranty from the respected manufacturer as well. Acknowledging what they offer can help lower costs to maintaining your cart, avoid future issues and help you be stress free.
