So my wife and I do quite a bit of golfing, our membership is about 1700 dollars a year. So we like to get in a lot of golf. We have a membership at our local golf country club. Previously we would lease a cart which cost about 770 dollars a season. My wife would rather buy used, but I'm leaning towards a new one now. I'm funding it all on my own. So I'll break it down between the two.
USED:
-Model is 4-6 years old
-It's cheaper initially, I can pay cash. About 3k.
-I'm going electric, batteries can cost 700-800 dollars.
-Cosmetic wear, tires, ect.
-Needs battery charger 250-300 dollars.
-Less to choose from, local place will have 1-2 to pick from.
NEW:
-EZ-GO 2016 or 2017 model.
-Roughly 6,800 dollars
-Will finance about 4,300 dollars.
-0% interest for 24 months.
-4 year warranty.
-Cost more initially.
-Comes with battery charger
-More options, color, usb port, ect.
-Better technology, advanced braking, and charging.
-Payments about 180.00 month.
Those are a few I can think of. If things go bad on a used one I'll have about 4k in it when batteries go, plus needing to buy a charger. The guy I'm dealing with on a used on said the batteries are good, but not new. Generally they last 6-8 years.
Thoughts?
