The ds isnt running. The resistor coils are burnt up, and the batteries are shot. Needs new tires. New seats. New paint. Havent gotten to look at the lift kit thats on jt. But it eas driving fine last summer before the batteries died.

I feel like its fonna cost more to replace everything and get it up to par than to just buy a working used one that just needs a simple battery conversion

1986 club car. Is it worth all the effort

I got this golf kart last summer for $1500. Didnt know anything about karts and I assumed it would be a easy $1500 more to get it on the road

Then I discover a conversion kit is 2grand not including a battery. Not including the mcor gas pedal thing or a battery or turn signals. Also the steering is real loosey goose. And it needs a paint job. Now its looking like another 4 ir 5 grand. I think I got burned.

But I also noticed at the cart shop that all the new carts are 8 or 9 grand and very plastic. They definately feel cheaper in build quality.

Idk what to do.

It ran last summer but it wont even move now. The batteries are shot.
