Buy a Golf Cart — Complete Buyer's Guide
Buying a golf cart is a significant purchase — new models range from $5,000 to $22,000+, and even quality used carts run $3,500 to $15,000. This guide walks you through every key decision so you buy the right cart at the right price from a dealership you can trust. TIGON Golf Carts has 15 locations across the Eastern United States and nationwide delivery available.
Step 1: Set Your Budget
Start with a realistic budget that includes the cart, delivery, accessories, and any registration costs for street-legal models. Rough price ranges by configuration:
- Used / refurbished 2-seat electric: $4,500–$9,000
- New 4-seat electric (lithium): $8,000–$14,000
- New street-legal LSV / NEV: $10,000–$18,000+
- New gas golf cart (2- or 4-seat): $5,000–$9,000
- 0% APR financing available on qualifying new and used carts
Step 2: New, Used, or Refurbished?
New golf carts carry full factory warranties, the latest features, and your choice of color, seating, and accessories — but cost the most. Used carts offer 30–60% savings versus new, though battery health and mechanical condition vary widely; always insist on a battery load test and documented service history. Refurbished carts split the difference: reconditioned to a documented standard — battery load-tested, mechanically serviced, cosmetically restored — at prices 20–40% below new.
Also explore our refurbished golf carts — professionally reconditioned units with battery load-tested, cosmetic restoration, and a certified road test, priced 20–40% below new.
Step 3: Electric or Gas?
Electric golf carts are the dominant choice for neighborhoods, communities, resorts, and campgrounds. They cost roughly 3–5 cents per mile to operate versus 30–50 cents per mile for gas, require no oil changes or exhaust maintenance, and modern lithium-battery models deliver 40–80 miles per charge. Gas carts use a small gasoline engine that refuels in minutes, delivers consistent power on hills and heavy loads, and covers greater distances per fill-up — making them preferred for full-size golf courses, large farms, and extended outdoor use.
Step 4: Choose Your Seating Capacity
Match seating to your actual use case:
- 2-passenger — golf course standard; compact and affordable for solo or couple use
- 4-passenger — most popular for families; rear seats fold from a rear seat kit
- 6-passenger — resorts, large families, events; higher cost but maximum capacity
- Utility / flatbed — cargo hauling on farms, warehouses, and campgrounds; no rear seating
Golf Cart Types: Compare by Budget, Speed & Use
| Cart Type | Price Range | Top Speed | Range | Street Legal | Best Use |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2-Passenger Standard | $4,500–$10,000 | 12–19 mph | 25–40 mi | No | Golf course, private property |
| 4-Passenger Lifted | $7,000–$14,000 | 19–25 mph | 30–55 mi | Varies | Neighborhood, off-road, family |
| 6-Passenger LSV / NEV | $9,500–$18,000 | 25 mph (gov.) | 40–80 mi | Yes | Street, resort, family transport |
| Commercial Fleet Cart | $8,000–$22,000+ | 15–25 mph | 40–60 mi | Varies | Warehouse, campus, event venue |
Step 5: Street-Legal or Off-Road?
Standard golf carts are designed for golf courses, private property, campgrounds, and gated communities — they are not street legal. A street-legal golf cart (LSV or NEV) has been equipped with federally required safety gear: headlights, brake lights, turn signals, mirrors, a windshield, seat belts, and a 17-digit VIN. Once registered with your state DMV, it can be driven on roads posted at 35 mph or less where state and local law permits. TIGON Golf Carts carries a full selection of LSV and NEV models and can confirm which configurations qualify for your state's road requirements.
Step 6: Financing and Payment Options
You don't have to pay cash for a golf cart. TIGON Golf Carts offers 0% APR financing on qualifying new and pre-owned models through multiple lending partners — Sheffield BBT, BLI Heartland, DLL Financial, Roadrunner/Octane, Univest Capital, and Dealer Direct. Monthly payments on qualifying carts start as low as $99/month. Apply online in minutes or call 1-844-844-6638 for a same-day quote.

What should my budget be when buying a golf cart?
Golf cart budgets vary widely by condition and configuration. Plan $4,500–$9,000 for a quality used or refurbished 2-seat electric cart; $8,000–$14,000 for a new 4-seat lithium electric; and $10,000–$18,000+ for a new street-legal LSV or 6-passenger model. Gas carts run $5,000–$9,000 new. Factor in delivery, accessories (covers, chargers, lift kits), and any registration fees if you plan to street-register the cart. Financing with 0% APR on qualifying models can significantly reduce the upfront cash requirement. Related: Financing options, Used carts
Should I buy a new, used, or refurbished golf cart?
New carts offer the latest features, full factory warranty, and your choice of configuration — ideal if budget allows and you want peace of mind. Used carts deliver 30–60% savings but vary widely in condition; always insist on a battery load test and service history. Refurbished carts split the difference — reconditioned to a documented standard with battery load-tested and cosmetically restored, at prices 20–40% below new. TIGON Golf Carts offers all three, and our team can help you compare specific models side by side. Related: New carts, Refurbished carts
What paperwork do I need when buying a golf cart?
For a standard off-road golf cart, paperwork is minimal — you receive a bill of sale and a manufacturer's statement of origin (MSO) from the dealer. If the cart is street-legal (LSV or NEV), you will also need to register it with your state DMV, obtain a title, and carry liability insurance in states that require it. TIGON Golf Carts provides all required documents and can walk you through the registration process for your state. Related: Street-Legal Vehicles, Low Speed Vehicles
How long does it take to buy a golf cart from TIGON?
Purchasing from TIGON Golf Carts typically takes one to three business days from selection to delivery. In-stock carts at a nearby dealership can often be picked up the same day or next day. Nationwide delivery generally takes three to seven business days depending on your location. Financing approval typically takes one business day. Call 1-844-844-6638 for current availability at your nearest location. Related: Browse in-stock inventory
What is the best golf cart for a first-time buyer?
For first-time buyers, a 4-passenger electric cart with a 48V or 72V lithium battery is the most popular choice — quiet, low-maintenance, and versatile for community, resort, or neighborhood use. If street legality matters, a 4-passenger LSV from DENAGO, Evolution, or Swift EV adds road-access capability for a modest premium. Call 1-844-844-6638 and our team can walk a first-time buyer through the decision in under 15 minutes. Related: Electric golf carts, New carts
Should I buy an electric or gas golf cart?
Electric golf carts are the right choice for 90% of buyers: lower operating cost ($0.01–$0.03/mile vs. $0.25–$0.50/mile for gas), zero maintenance oil changes, quieter operation, and better environmental impact. Gas carts still make sense for remote properties where charging infrastructure is unavailable, or for heavy-duty work applications requiring continuous high-load operation. TIGON Golf Carts carries both — call 1-844-844-6638 to compare specific models for your use case. Related: Electric golf carts, Gas golf carts
How do I choose the right number of seats for my golf cart?
Choose your seat count based on your typical passenger load plus one. A 2-passenger cart is ideal for single individuals or couples. A 4-passenger cart handles most family and community needs. A 6-passenger cart is best for larger families, resort or event use, or commercial applications. Many 2-passenger carts can be upgraded to 4-passenger with a rear-flip seat kit — ask our team about this option when you shop. Related: Browse by passenger count

Related: Bad credit financing
How much of a down payment do I need to buy a golf cart?
Well-qualified buyers can often purchase a golf cart with zero down through TIGON's lending partners. Buyers with lower credit scores or challenged credit may need 10–20% down depending on the program. In-house programs may require a larger deposit.

How long will a new golf cart last?
A well-maintained new golf cart can last 20–30 years. Electric carts with lithium battery packs are especially long-lived — the battery pack (the most expensive component) lasts 10–15 years and the drivetrain has very few wear components. Gas carts require more maintenance but also have long service lives with regular oil changes and seasonal tune-ups. Related: Electric golf carts
What ongoing costs should I budget for owning a golf cart?
Annual ongoing costs for a typical electric golf cart: electricity ($25–$75/year at average US rates), routine inspection ($75–$150/year), tire replacement every 4–6 years ($150–$400), and battery replacement every 10+ years for lithium ($2,000–$4,500) or every 4–6 years for lead-acid ($500–$1,200). Gas carts add oil changes ($60–$100/year), fuel ($200–$600/year), and periodic carburetor/filter service. Related: Golf cart financing
