Certified Pre-Owned Golf Carts for Sale
TIGON's Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) program applies a 27-point, 8-category inspection to select pre-owned golf carts before listing. Every CPO unit that passes earns a TIGON CPO badge, a written inspection report, and a 60-day powertrain warranty administered through TIGON's own service network.
What Is a TIGON Certified Pre-Owned Golf Cart?
A CPO golf cart at TIGON has passed our full 27-point inspection — going well beyond the standard 6-point pre-sale check applied to regular used inventory. CPO carts receive a written inspection report documenting every system, a cosmetic rating (1–5 scale) disclosed at purchase, and a 60-day CPO powertrain warranty. No third-party claims process: bring it to any of TIGON's 15 service locations.
The TIGON CPO Inspection Checklist (27 Points, 8 Categories)
- Drive System (motor/engine, controller, solenoid, drive components)
- Battery & Charging (capacity under load, cell balance, charger output)

Frequently Asked Questions
- What does TIGON's Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) golf cart program include?
- TIGON's Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) program is a structured inspection and certification process applied to select pre-owned golf carts before listing. Every CPO unit passes a 27-point, 8-category inspection covering the drive system, battery and charging, brakes and steering, electrical systems, chassis and frame, body and cosmetic condition, tires and wheels, and a pre-delivery service. Carts that pass receive a TIGON CPO badge, a written inspection report, and a 60-day CPO powertrain warranty. CPO units are the highest tier of pre-owned inventory at TIGON — above standard used carts — and are ideal for buyers who want near-new confidence without the new-cart price. Call 1-844-844-6638 or browse CPO inventory at tigongolfcarts.com/certified-pre-owned-golf-carts.
- What warranty comes with a TIGON Certified Pre-Owned golf cart?
- Every TIGON Certified Pre-Owned golf cart includes a 60-day CPO powertrain warranty covering the motor, controller, and drive components on electric models, or the engine and transmission on gas models. The warranty is administered through TIGON Golf Carts service locations — no third-party claims process required. Battery condition is fully disclosed at sale following a load test and cell balance check performed during the CPO inspection. Standard pre-owned carts at TIGON carry an inspection-backed, limited coverage — not a formal written powertrain warranty. For full factory warranty coverage, new golf carts carry manufacturer warranties ranging from 1 to 5 years depending on brand and model. Call 1-844-844-6638 for warranty details on a specific CPO unit.
- How many inspection points does TIGON's CPO golf cart checklist cover?
- TIGON's CPO inspection checklist covers 27 points across 8 categories: (1) Drive System — motor/engine, controller or carburetor, solenoid/clutch, and drive components; (2) Battery & Charging — actual capacity under load, cell balance or specific gravity, and charger output; (3) Brakes & Steering — cable tension, pads/shoes, tie rods, king pins, and tracking; (4) Electrical Systems — all lights, horn, turn signals, charger port, and wiring harness; (5) Chassis & Frame — structural integrity, corrosion, and fastener torque; (6) Body & Cosmetic — seats, upholstery, canopy, windshield, and panels rated 1 to 5 and disclosed; (7) Tires & Wheels — tread depth, sidewall condition, and lug torque; (8) Pre-Delivery Service — lubrication, tire inflation, fluid levels, and full battery charge at delivery. Every CPO buyer receives the completed inspection report at purchase.
- Can I finance a Certified Pre-Owned golf cart through TIGON Golf Carts?
- Yes. TIGON Golf Carts offers financing on all CPO inventory through six lending partners: Sheffield Financial/BBT, BLI Heartland, DLL Financial, Roadrunner/Octane, Univest Capital, and Dealer Direct. Terms range from 24 to 60 months. TIGON's in-house and BHPH programs accommodate all credit profiles including challenged credit. Most applications receive a same-day decision.

- How do I recognize a CPO-certified golf cart in TIGON's inventory?
- CPO-certified golf carts in TIGON's inventory are marked with a ‘TIGON CPO’ badge on the listing and include a completed 27-point inspection report available at purchase. When browsing in person, any salesperson can pull up the inspection report for a CPO unit, covering all 8 inspection categories. If you are shopping online and want to confirm CPO status on a specific cart, call 1-844-844-6638 or use the inquiry form at tigongolfcarts.com/certified-pre-owned-golf-carts. A specialist will confirm CPO status and share the inspection summary for any unit you are evaluating.
- What is the difference between a Certified Pre-Owned and a standard used golf cart at TIGON?
- The key differences: (1) Inspection — CPO carts pass a documented 27-point, 8-category inspection; standard used carts are inspected and condition-disclosed, but without a formal multi-point checklist. (2) Warranty — CPO carts carry a 60-day powertrain warranty; standard used carts are sold as-is with condition disclosure. (3) Price — CPO carts are typically 5–15% more than comparable standard used units, reflecting the additional inspection and warranty. For buyers who want extra confidence in a pre-owned cart, CPO is worth the modest premium. Call 1-844-844-6638 to compare CPO and standard used options at your nearest location.
- Why would I buy a CPO golf cart instead of a new one?
- A Certified Pre-Owned golf cart is typically 15–35% less expensive than a comparable new model, while still delivering a documented inspection, 60-day powertrain warranty, and verified battery condition. If you don't need the latest model year features, a CPO cart offers the best combination of value and peace of mind. New carts make more sense if you want the longest possible warranty, a specific current-model configuration, or 0% APR promotional financing that's not available on used carts. Call 1-844-844-6638 to compare new and CPO options side by side.
- Can I request a CPO inspection on a standard used cart I'm considering buying?
- TIGON Golf Carts performs the CPO inspection process on select pre-owned units before listing them as CPO. If you're considering a standard used cart and want a more thorough inspection before purchase, ask your TIGON sales representative about scheduling a pre-purchase inspection review. Call 1-844-844-6638 to discuss inspection options for any used cart you're evaluating.
- How long has TIGON's CPO program been running?
- TIGON Golf Carts developed its Certified Pre-Owned program as part of its commitment to offering the highest tier of pre-owned inventory at all 15 dealership locations. The CPO program establishes a consistent standard — 27 points, 8 categories, written report, 60-day warranty — so buyers know exactly what they're getting regardless of which TIGON location they purchase from. Call 1-844-844-6638 to learn more about CPO availability at your nearest location.
- What financing terms are available on a CPO golf cart at TIGON?
- CPO golf cart financing at TIGON Golf Carts is available for 24–60 months through six lending partners. On a $5,500 CPO cart at 7.9% APR for 48 months, payments are approximately $133/month. Rates depend on the cart's price and age, your credit profile, and the specific lender. Apply online at tigongolfcarts.com/financing/apply or call 1-844-844-6638 for a real-time payment estimate.
- Can I get 0% APR on a CPO golf cart?
- 0% APR is most commonly offered on new golf carts, but promotional rates on CPO carts may be available through TIGON's lending partners during special events. Call 1-844-844-6638 to ask about current financing promotions on CPO inventory at your nearest location.
- Can I use my current golf cart as a trade-in toward a CPO purchase?
- Yes — TIGON Golf Carts accepts trade-ins at all 15 locations toward any CPO purchase. Your trade-in value reduces the CPO purchase price and financed amount. Call 1-844-844-6638 for a preliminary trade-in estimate before your visit.
- Is financing available for buyers with bad credit on CPO golf carts?
- Yes — TIGON Golf Carts' in-house and BHPH programs provide CPO financing to buyers with challenged credit, including past bankruptcies and collections. Income verification and a down payment of 10–20% are the primary qualifying factors. Call 1-844-844-6638 to speak with a financing specialist about your situation.
- Does TIGON Golf Carts deliver CPO golf carts nationwide?
- Yes — CPO golf carts are available for nationwide delivery to all 50 states. Most in-stock CPO units ship within 5–10 business days after purchase. TIGON provides the inspection report and bill of sale at delivery. Call 1-844-844-6638 for a delivery quote to your ZIP code.
- What happens if a CPO cart develops a problem within the 60-day warranty?

TIGON handles the repair at no charge under the CPO warranty — no third-party warranty claim process. Bring the cart to your nearest TIGON service department with your purchase documentation. Most warranty repairs are completed within 3–5 business days.
- Can I extend the warranty on a CPO golf cart beyond 60 days?
- Extended service plans are available for purchase at the time of CPO sale at TIGON Golf Carts, providing coverage beyond the standard 60-day CPO powertrain warranty.
