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 realized that owning a golf cart can actually be very economical as opposed to renting one every time I play a game of golf with my friends, which happens often by the way. I can even see how one can also use it as a means of transportation around a retirement community. I can still remember how my friend goes around the huge parking lot of the mall and finding a parking space for his cart without a 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.
The other option would be purchasing a used cart. It can really be easy on my budget. If I was familiar with golf mechanics I can look for an individual seller nearby for a really low price - but I am not. It would probably serve me best to find some local cart dealer that could give me some type of repair service warranty that goes with the purchase.
A used rig's cost widely fluctuates depending on the model, features, and the current condition of the equipment. I might be able to find one that is still in very good running condition. It will be a good idea to have a trusted mechanic take a look at it before i make my final decision.
Another consideration would be going for a gas or an electric powered cab. I heard that an electric golf cart is easier to maintain but I will be changing batteries every few years or so and that would cost me around $500 every time. My officemate told me that after some time, maintenance of both types works out pretty much the same so it really wouldn't matter so much.
I can opt for a new one, or a used one. Whether its a gas or electric golf cart, I was advised that if I take proper care of my golf cart and have maintenance work regularly, It will serve me faithfully for as long as ten years, even more.
