Selling Your Golf Cart: A Simple Checklist
Golf carts are some of the most popular items on Villages Classifieds. A little preparation helps yours sell faster and for a fair price.
Before you list
- Clean it. Wash the body, wipe the seats, and clear out the storage areas.
- Gather the facts. Make, model, year, gas or electric, and for electric carts, the age and type of the batteries.
- Find your paperwork. Title or bill of sale, service records, and any warranty papers.
- Check similar ads. Look at golf carts listed here to see what similar carts are asking.
Writing the ad
- Put the year, make and model in the title, for example “2019 Yamaha gas golf cart.”
- List extras such as enclosures, lights, mirrors, upgraded seats or a rear seat kit.
- Be honest about wear or repairs. It builds trust and saves wasted trips.
- Add photos of the front, side, seats and dashboard, taken in daylight.
When a buyer comes
- Let them test-drive with you riding along.
- Accept cash, or meet at the buyer’s bank for a cashier’s check.
- Write up a simple bill of sale with the date, price, cart details and both signatures.
