When I was working in a customer service company some time ago, I had an officemate who lives in a subdivision less than a kilometer away from the office. Beside his subdivision is a golf course where we often hang out in the weekends. It was always a delight to see him arriving at work in a golf cart. He said he saves quite a bit driving that thing to the office every day. After office hours, he was always a hit when he parks his rig at the mall parking lot beside our workplace.

I suspect owning my own golf cart can also save me quite a bit as opposed to renting one every time i need it which happens a lot. It could even be used moving around a retirement community. My friend goes around the mall parking lot looking for a place to park without any problem.

A new rig would be something but I think I can also be comfortable in a used golf cart. A new machine will cost me quite some cash, but it has full factory warranty that comes with the purchase. I will also be taught of its roper care and maintenance since day one.

A new one would probably cost me around $5000 to $10000 depending on its features and accessories. The more add-ons, the higher the price goes. I can be extremely frugal and strip away the bare necessities and Id probably get a new one for under $5000, but I dont think Id be comfortable in that.

However, a used machine can really save me quite some money. I am not so familiar with golf cart mechanics so buying from a local individual party is out of the question. Maybe I can find a local golf cart dealer and have some type of repair service warranty to go with my purchase.

A used golf cart's price range is very widely varied depending on the model, accessories and it's shape. I should be able to find one in near perfect condition. I just need to have a trusted mechanic take look at it and give me some advise before I make a decision.

Should I go for a gas powered or electric golf cart? An electric car I know is relatively easier to maintain than a gas cart but I do have to change the batteries every few years and that would cost me around $500 or so every time. My officemate told me that over a period of time, the effort and cost maintaining a gas or an electric driven cab works out pretty much the same. I guess it wouldnt really matter much to me then.

With the proper care and regular maintenance, whether it is a gas or electric powered machine, A new or used golf cart will provide you good service for ten years - could even be more.
