Our team at Golf Cars of Louisiana is here to help you throughout the buying process and determine what model is best for you. Continue reading to learn a little more about determining the life expectancy of a used golf cart.

1. Check the Details

One of the first things you’ll want to do when looking at a used golf cart is determine the details like mileage, year, make, and model. The specifications of the golf cart can influence its life expectancy! The year might be something you heavily consider, but the mileage or amount of hours it was used is also very important.

2. Gather Information

The next big factor will be finding overall information about the golf cart. It may not always be possible to see the entire picture, but try your best to gather as much information as possible about the specific cart you’re looking at.

Some of the biggest factors of a golf cart’s longevity will be how it was used, where it was used, and how it was cared for. A golf cart that was used in very humid weather conditions may have less longevity than a golf cart that was used in a more mild area. Similarly, a cart that was heavily used on a daily basis may not last as long as one that was only used a few times during the summer.

The best way to gauge the remaining life expectancy of a used golf cart is by having a look at its history.

There are several ways to estimate how long a used golf cart will last and we always recommend completing an inspection when you’re shopping for a used model.
