New vs. Used Golf Carts: How to Choose the Best Value

March 1, 2026

A new golf cart gives you the latest features, a full-length warranty period, and zero prior wear, which matters if you plan to keep the cart for many years. New Club Car, EZGO, and Yamaha models are available in both electric and gas configurations.

A used golf cart, when properly inspected and refurbished, can offer most of the reliability of a new cart at a meaningfully lower price. This is especially attractive for buyers who want a second cart, a backup unit, or are trying a golf cart for the first time.

When shopping used golf carts for sale, ask specifically whether the unit has been inspected and refurbished, what was replaced (batteries are the most common wear item on electric carts), and whether there is any remaining warranty coverage.

Both new and used carts ship nationwide from Golf Cart Buy, so the decision usually comes down to budget and how long you plan to keep the cart.
