How to Price Out a Golf Cart

Golf carts are small vehicles, powered by electricity or gasoline, originally designed to carry two riders and their golfing equipment around a golf course. Golf carts are also often used outside of the golf courses, such as in airports, country clubs, or for personal recreational use. If you have a used golf cart that you're trying to sell, you will need to gather information about it and take into account wear and tear before setting an appropriate price. Golf carts generally range between $3,000 and $15,000.

      Find the make, model year, and manufacturer of your golf cart. Look up the cost of your golf cart new on the manufacturer's website. Even if you think you remember the price you paid originally, it's best to check with the manufacturer. You can also look up your golf cart on websites such as My Golf Carts for Sale.

      Look up how much used golf carts of the same make and model as yours are selling for. Check general online auction sites such as eBay, as well as specific websites for selling golf carts such as Golf Cart City.

      Note any wear and tear your golf cart has. Fix whatever damage you can -- the less wear and tear, the closer to the original price you can quote for your golf cart. Also take into account the age of your golf cart, and look up average pricing for used golf carts of the same year as yours.

      Determine the battery life if your golf cart is electric. Battery life is one of the biggest selling factors for used golf carts. Replacing a weak battery may be worth the investment if you're trying to get a like-new price for your golf cart.

      Note any additional features your golf cart has, such as a window shield, stereo system, or enclosure. Factor in the cost of each additional feature into your asking price.
