Question 1

What is a pre owned golf cart?

Accepted Answer

A pre owned golf cart (also written "pre-owned golf cart" or "preowned golf cart") is a previously owned golf cart that has been resold — either privately or through a dealership. The three spellings mean the same thing: a cart that had at least one prior owner before you. At TIGON Golf Carts, every pre owned golf cart is inspected before listing and sold with a documented condition report covering battery health, drivetrain, brakes, electrical systems, and body condition. Pre owned golf carts at TIGON are priced from $2,500 and include all-credit financing through six lending partners. Unlike a private seller, TIGON's pre owned golf carts come with condition disclosure, post-sale service access at 15 locations, and optional Certified Pre-Owned powertrain coverage on qualifying units.

Question 2

What is the difference between pre-owned and used golf carts?

Accepted Answer

The terms "pre-owned" and "used" are often interchangeable in the golf cart industry, but at TIGON Golf Carts, pre-owned designates carts that have been evaluated and condition-disclosed through our inspection process before listing. A cart listed as "used" may be sold with limited evaluation, while a "pre-owned" or "certified pre-owned" designation means the cart passed a multi-point check covering battery, drivetrain, brakes, electrical systems, and body condition. In practice: any pre-owned cart at TIGON has been inspected; ask your sales associate whether a specific unit meets our certified pre-owned standard for powertrain coverage.

Question 3

What year or age of pre-owned golf cart should I consider?

Accepted Answer

For electric pre-owned golf carts, the battery pack age matters more than the cart's model year. A 3-year-old cart with a freshly replaced lithium battery can outperform a 1-year-old cart with a degraded AGM pack. As a general guide: (1) 0–3 years old — near-new, minimal wear, best features and technology. (2) 4–7 years old — solid middle ground; confirm battery health with a load test. (3) 8–12 years old — budget-friendly but expect battery replacement cost ($800–$2,500 for AGM, $2,000–$4,500 for lithium). (4) 12+ years — high-maintenance risk; suitable only if heavily refurbished. TIGON Golf Carts discloses battery condition at time of sale on all pre-owned electric units.

Question 4

Do pre-owned golf carts come with a clean title at TIGON Golf Carts?

Accepted Answer

Yes. All pre-owned golf carts sold at TIGON Golf Carts include a clean title (where applicable by the cart's model and state). For street-legal LSV and NEV models that require state registration, TIGON provides the original title and documentation needed to complete registration in your state. Non-street-legal carts — those used on private property, courses, or communities — typically do not carry a DMV title in most states but come with a bill of sale and VIN documentation proving ownership. Ask our team about title documentation for a specific pre-owned cart at 1-844-844-6638.

Question 5

How do I verify the battery condition on a pre-owned electric golf cart?

Accepted Answer

Battery condition is the most important factor in a pre-owned electric golf cart purchase. At TIGON Golf Carts, our technicians perform a battery load test on every pre-owned electric cart — this measures the battery's actual usable capacity under a simulated discharge, not just its resting voltage. Ask to see the load test result at purchase. Key signs of battery health: (1) a load test showing ≥80% rated capacity is good; below 70% indicates replacement is needed soon. (2) Cells that charge evenly across the pack (checked with a cell-by-cell voltmeter). (3) Swollen or leaking battery cases are disqualifying. TIGON documents battery condition at time of sale for every pre-owned electric unit.

Question 6

What buyer protections does TIGON Golf Carts offer on pre-owned golf carts?

Accepted Answer

TIGON Golf Carts offers several buyer protections on pre-owned golf carts that go beyond a private seller or aggregator listing: (1) Pre-sale inspection report — a copy of the multi-point technician check covering battery, drivetrain, brakes, electrical, and body condition is included at purchase. (2) Condition disclosure — every cart has a rated cosmetic and mechanical condition disclosed before sale. (3) Certified pre-owned powertrain coverage — qualifying electric carts include 60-day powertrain protection. (4) Post-sale service — access to our 15 service locations for any follow-up maintenance or warranty claim. (5) Title and documentation — proper bill of sale, VIN records, and title where applicable. Call 1-844-844-6638 for the full buyer protection terms on a specific unit.

Question 7

How do I request the inspection report for a pre-owned golf cart at TIGON?

Accepted Answer

Every pre-owned golf cart at TIGON Golf Carts is inspected before listing, and the inspection report is available at purchase. To review the report before visiting, call 1-844-844-6638 with the listing number or cart model and ask a specialist to read you the key findings — battery condition, drivetrain status, brake condition, and cosmetic rating. Reports are also available in person at any TIGON dealership.

Question 8

What does a battery load test actually reveal about a pre-owned golf cart?

Accepted Answer

A battery load test measures the battery pack's actual usable capacity under a simulated discharge — not just its resting voltage. The test reveals: (1) how much of the rated capacity remains (below 70% indicates replacement needed soon), (2) whether cells in the pack charge and discharge evenly, and (3) whether any cells are dead or underperforming. Resting voltage alone is not a reliable indicator of health — a battery can show full voltage at rest but fail under load.

Question 9

Are pre-owned golf carts at TIGON reconditioned or sold as-is?

Accepted Answer

All pre-owned golf carts at TIGON Golf Carts are inspected before listing. Standard pre-owned carts are sold with condition disclosure after inspection. Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) carts go further — passing a 27-point, 8-category written inspection and receiving a 60-day powertrain warranty. TIGON does not list carts that fail critical safety checks; those are repaired before listing. Call 1-844-844-6638 to confirm the inspection tier of a specific cart.

Question 10

What cosmetic condition rating system does TIGON use for pre-owned golf carts?

Accepted Answer

TIGON Golf Carts rates pre-owned cart cosmetic condition on a 1–5 scale: 5 = like new (minimal wear, no visible defects); 4 = excellent (light scratches, no dents, clean upholstery); 3 = good (minor cosmetic wear consistent with age); 2 = fair (visible scratches, faded panels, or worn upholstery disclosed at sale); 1 = for parts or project (significant cosmetic damage, sold accordingly). All ratings are disclosed in the inspection report available at purchase.

Question 11

What loan terms are available on a pre-owned golf cart at TIGON Golf Carts?

Accepted Answer

Pre-owned golf cart financing at TIGON is available for 24 to 60 months through our six lending partners. On a $4,500 pre-owned cart at 8.9% APR for 48 months, payments are approximately $112/month. Rates depend on the cart's age, price, and your credit profile. Call 1-844-844-6638 for a payment estimate on the specific cart you're considering.

Question 12

Can I finance a pre-owned golf cart with no money down?

Accepted Answer

Yes — some buyers with strong credit profiles (typically 700+) qualify for zero-down financing on pre-owned golf carts through TIGON's lending partners. Buyers with lower scores may need 10–20% down. In-house and BHPH programs are available for all credit situations. Apply online in minutes or call 1-844-844-6638.

Question 13

Does TIGON Golf Carts offer rent-to-own on pre-owned golf carts?

Accepted Answer

Yes — TIGON Golf Carts offers rent-to-own programs through select financing partners as an alternative path to ownership for buyers who don't qualify for traditional lending. Under rent-to-own, you make monthly payments and the cart is yours at the end of the term. Call 1-844-844-6638 to ask about current rent-to-own availability and terms.

Question 14

What information do I need to apply for pre-owned golf cart financing at TIGON?

Accepted Answer

To apply for financing, you'll need: a government-issued photo ID, your Social Security Number (for a credit check), employment and income information (pay stubs or bank statements for self-employed), your current address and phone number, and the cart listing number or model you're interested in.

Question 18

How long does a pre-owned golf cart battery typically last after purchase?

Accepted Answer

Battery life after purchase depends on chemistry and the battery's age at time of sale. TIGON discloses battery condition at sale on all pre-owned electric carts. A recently replaced lithium pack: 8–12 years. A lead-acid pack that passed the load test: 2–5 more years. A borderline lead-acid pack: 1–3 years. If battery life is a concern, consider a lithium upgrade ($2,000–$4,500) at purchase — it eliminates battery anxiety for the next decade.
