How Much Does A New Golf Cart Cost?
The average new golf cart retails at about $9.4K, based on Rollick data. New golf carts are a great option to consider because they range in price based on what you want or need in your vehicle. New golf carts can be base models starting in the low two thousand dollar range or they can go as high as 15 to 20 thousand dollars with every bell and whistle you can imagine. New golf carts are worth considering because you get a factory warranty, you know there are no problems with the vehicle, you get to customize and choose exactly the right vehicle for you.
Pros: New golf carts are in perfect condition and include a limited warranty. You may also receive better financing and better deals if you are buying new. Manufacturers, such as EZGO and Yamaha will often offer manufacturer incentives on to move volume.
Cons: They start depreciating the second you drive them off the lot and they come at a higher purchase price.

How Much Does A Used Golf Cart Cost?
The average used golf cart goes for approximately $5.7K, based on Rollick Data. Luckily, the availability of used golf carts is vast. There are so many used golf carts available because traditional golf courses, which use dozens of golf carts, have to renew their fleets every so often, creating a plethora of available, relatively new and lightly used golf carts. Used golf carts are a good option because they are less expensive than new golf carts.
Pros: Used golf carts will come at a cheaper purchase price and they may even come with newer upgrades from previous owners.
Cons: You can run into some hidden problems with any used vehicles and they may require more maintenance due to the previous ownership and age of the vehicle.
