Purchasing a used golf cart can be a smart way to invest your money without going over budget. However, finding the right used model can seem overwhelming at first! Our team at Golf Cars of Louisiana has a great selection to choose from, but we also want to help you discover the various ways you can shop for a pre-owned golf car.

1. Private Sellers

Sometimes golf car owners will choose to sell their model directly to the new owner instead of doing a trade-in. They might choose this option because they aren’t interested in purchasing another golf cart or because they want to optimize their profit.

Working with a private seller can be beneficial because they can answer questions about the specific history of that model, but there can also be some risks involved with buying from a private seller. If this option makes the most sense for you, make sure to complete a thorough inspection before purchasing.

2. Auctions or Estate Sales

Another popular place to find a used golf cart is at an auction or an estate sale. This can be a similar experience to buying from a private seller, but you might have the opportunity to purchase at a lower price. However, it can be difficult to complete an inspection or have specific questions answered during the high energy of an auction or sale.

3. Dealerships

We might be a bit biased, but buying a used golf car directly from the dealership is a great option. You can expect that the vehicle has been inspected and tested for safety before being placed on the lot and that it has been evaluated to reflect the fairest price for its value. You will also have access to knowledgeable industry experts and, in our case, parts and service teams that can help you keep your new-to-you model running well.
