When Is the Best Time to Buy a Golf Cart?

While you can buy a golf cart at any point in the year, and you should go for it if you’re in the market for one, there are some buyers who want to be more strategic about their purchase. There is a good time of the year to purchase a golf cart if you want the absolute highest number of options available to you at a good price.

Dever Golf Car Sales, with locations in Lexington and Louisville, is your Kentucky golf cart dealer. Here’s the best time to buy a golf cart so you can pinpoint the perfect time to visit a dealership.

So, When Is It?

Late winter and early springtime tends to be the best time for buyers to purchase a golf cart. There are a multitude of reasons for this window, which generally falls between February and April. Seller demographics, golf course trade-ins and even the dealership’s inventory itself all impact the selection of golf carts available at any given time, and that’s why spring ends up being the best time to buy.

Private Sellers

Folks who own their own golf carts are likely going to want to upgrade their carts before the next golf season starts, which means that they will be selling them during the wintertime. Snowbirds who have winter and summer homes may return home after staying at their more southern abodes and find that they just aren’t using their golf carts as much as they’d like, so late winter also ends up being a good time for them to trade in.

## Golf Course Trade-Ins

Golf courses often have golf carts available to rent for those who don’t own their own, and they retire their fleets after four to five years of usage. Generally, people don’t do much golfing during the winter months, so this is the most opportune time for courses to sell off their fleets and purchase new models before the spring.

Dealership Inventory

During the course of the year, a golf dealership’s inventory will likely fluctuate as golf carts flow in and out. Spring ends up being the time that dealerships will have the most carts in stock, because all those trade-ins will have to be serviced and readied for sale, and then put out on the sales floor. New models also tend to be released in the wintertime, so both new and used golf carts should be in great supply during the spring.

Of course, none of this means that you can’t buy a golf cart in any month you desire one. Ready to buy right now? Great!
