Main Types of Golf Carts

1. Gasoline golf carts. These are just like little cars. A gasoline golf cart has a small engine running on gasoline which powers the cart wheels. There is a difference between a gasoline golf cart and a regular car. When you use a regular car, the engine starts when the key is turned and the car keeps running until the ignition is switched off. A gasoline powered golf cart, on the either hand, starts when gas pedal is step on. It only shuts off when the foot is taken off the gas pedal. This feature helps save gas, cuts down on emissions and it helps keep the course quiet too.
2. Electric golf carts. These types of cars use batteries which power an electric motor. The batteries are charged by plugging the cart into a wall outlet, just like any typical appliance in the house. Nowadays there are also golf carts which are fitted with solar panels. There are lots of electric golf cars for sale in the market.

There is a good supply of golf carts everywhere so there must be no difficulty looking for one. This is because most clubs and country clubs always update and upgrade their golf carts. The points below should be kept in mind when purchasing a used golf cart.

1. Find a reputable dealer. You want to purchase a golf cart from a dealer who is known for honesty and reliability. A golf cart is not that cheap, it is a big purchase, both in size and in amount so you want to be able to get the most out of your money. Ask friends for local dealers or if you know anybody who is a member of a country club, you might want to try asking them if their club knows any reputable golf cart dealers.
2. Determine your budget. Have a budget in mind and stick to it. It is better to be under budget than to be over budget. Keep that golden rule in mind. When looking at golf carts in display, the new ones may seem very enticing. If you cannot afford buying a new one then it is better not to look at new golf carts. Your eyes might get the best of you.
3. Added features. Identify the add-ons that you might need to install on the golf cart and also set a budget for them. The features you will be adding should correspond to the purpose of the golf cart. Do not make the mistake of adding a feature because it looks good even if you are not going to be using it. This is a waste of money than could have been used for more important things.
4. Inspect the golf cart. Look at the battery. Batteries have lives of up to 5 years. Do not forget to make sure that the dealer includes an automatic charger. The automatic charger shits off when the battery is full, this way you won't have to set a timer. Check the body as well as the tires. You want a cart which has a canopy that won’t fall off when you drive faster than usual. If large loads will be hauled, make sure that the cart has  a trailer hitch. Do the tires have enough tread? If you are not that confident in your ability to appraise golf carts, then by all means bring someone along who is quite good with cars or golf carts. You want to be able to purchase a used golf cart which you will be able to use for at least the next 4 years.
5. Take the cart for a test drive. This is a must. There are certain aspects of the car which you wouldn't be able to verify unless you take it for a drive; examples will be the brakes and acceleration.
6. Shop around. Make sure that you checked all other options before deciding to buy. This is a very good way of getting discounts.
