Help assess value of this cart - your thoughts? Thu, 05/21/09 11:59 AM (permalink)
This cart is about 3 hrs away from me.

Any ballpark guess (assuming everything works and is in good shape) on what this might be worth?
Anyone recognize the manufacturer?

      It kinda looks like the one my friend has.  His is an older All American and he paid about $2300 for it 2 years ago.  If it really was made in 2005, then I don't think it would be worth what they are asking.  It seems to me that they are exploiting the fact that those carts are in demand. 

      I can't really say anything about the value of a cart because of the great deal I got.  I think that you might be able to get a newer used All American from the manufacturer for the same or cheaper.  I would contact them and ask.  Plus, they would be able to tell you what this cart is worth if it is one of their carts.



      And I am still looking for one down here in Austin for you.  I'll let you know if I find anything!

        Hey Waydeg, First ya gotta see what your H.D. requires on yer cart to be legal/ inspectable. It varies an awfol lot. So ya may have to add/ upgrade to pass. Check that out first. But the price does seem a little high.

          I've pretty well wrapped up the state and county health guidelines and ordinances. The guy here in Frisco has been a wealth of knowledge as well as offering to go look at local carts to see if they meet code. 

          On a side note, the original seller replied to my e-mail and added:
          Also just in case you might be serious then my cell number is 318-XXX-XXXX, Jeff. If not serious PLEASE DONT WASTE MY TIME, OR YOURS. THANKS"


          Do people think that if you drive 4 hours to see a cart you may not be a serious buyer?
          ]Am I missing something here? Did I get e-mail attitude? I hope he is more diplomatic with his customers. I think I'll keep looking.
