Shopping on line can be easy, simple and save you lots of money. It can also take a lot of your time, frustrate you, and result in unwanted purchases. Now the same can be said for regular high street shopping, but with the vast opportunity presented by the Internet it will pay you to spend a few minutes reading this and understanding how to better optimize your Golf Car shopping experience:
1. Compare - without doubt the biggest advantage that the Golf Car offers shoppers today is the ability to compare thousands of Golf Car at a time. This is a great thing, but not necessarily all the time! Too much can be daunting at times so take advantage of the great comparison sites and where possible let them do the hard work for you.
2. Research - if it has been said it will be on the internet. Ignorance is no longer a justifiable reason for buying the wrong thing. Take the time to research in detail everything that you could possible want to know about
3. Testimonials - don't know anybody that has bought a Golf Car? Wrong! If the Golf Car is good the internet will let you know. Use the Internet as a friend and get testimonials before you buy.
4. Questions - Got a question about Golf Car then search the Forums, FAQ's, Blogs etc. Don't be afraid to ask .....
5. Reputation - Never heard of the company selling Golf Car? Don't worry, no reason why you should know every company in the world, but you know someone that does! Use the internet to find out what people are saying about Golf Car and build up a picture of their reputation for sales, returns, customer service, delivery etc.
6. Returns - still worried that even after all of the above your Golf Car wont be what you want? Check out the returns policy. There is so much competition now that someone, somewhere is bound to offer the terms that you are comfortable with.
7. Feedback - happy with your Golf Car then let people know, after all you are depending on others people input in your buying decision, so why not give a little back.
8. Security - check for the yellow padlock on the Golf Car site before you buy, and the s after http:/ /i.e. https:// = a secure site
9. Contact - got a question about Golf Car, or want to leave a comment then check out the sites contact page. Reputable companies have them and respond.
10. Payment - ready to pay for your Golf Car, then use your credit card or PayPal! Be aware of companies that don't accept them, there may be genuine reasons but given the huge amount of choice you have when buying online there is no reason at all not to buy via credit card or PayPal.
A
golf cart (officially referred to as a
golf car according to ANSI standard z130.1, since "carts" are not self-propelled. ANSI z130.1) is a small vehicle designed originally to carry two golfers and their
Golf club (equipment) around a golf course with less effort than the traditional method of walking.
Golf cars come in a wide range of formats and are more generally used to convey small numbers of passengers short distances at speeds less than 15 mph per American National Standards Institute Standard z130.1 as originally manufactured. They are generally 4' x 8' x 6' high and weigh 900-1,000 pounds.
Some golf cars are powered with small gas engines and others are electric motor powered. These electric golf cars were the first mass-produced
electric vehicles for private consumer use. This variety is now used in many communities where their lack of pollutants, lack of
noise, and safety for pedestrians and other cars (due to slow speeds) are beneficial. When purpose-built for general transportation these are called
Neighborhood electric vehicle (NEVs), but with various operating limitations such as top speed and heavy regulation on which type of streets these types of cars are permitted to be used. These may resemble the golf cars shown above, although some are now being made with all–weather car–like bodies.
Modern golf cars may have car-like styling (despite being no bigger than a traditional golf car), and accessories such as audio
entertainment systems, custom wheels with spinners, and custom body panels in a wide assortment of colors.
There is a large market for aftermarket golf cars parts from many companies. There are 3 main manufacturers of golf cars: Club Car, E-Z-GO, and Yamaha. Each have their own lines of aftermarket parts to enhance off road capabilities, such as lift kits, larger tires with aggressive tread patterns. From third parties, there are also kits available that facilitate the installation of a larger engine, such as a Honda 24 HP V-Twin engine or a Briggs & Stratton engine ranging in sizes from 16-31HP. Golf cars are capable of much higher speeds with modifications. For liability reasons, this is not sanctioned by the original manufacturers. There are also parts made to help in towing, such as hitch mounts, cargo boxes, radios, high-performance mufflers and air filters, high speed or torque gear sets, and custom paint/decal sets. There is even a "Hummer" golf car available from many dealers for around $25,000.00 US dollars.
