When Should You Buy a Golf Cart?
Just like other retail items, there is often a best time of year to buy a new golf cart. You might notice that available inventory can fluctuate and customer demand changes from month to month. Instead of waiting around for holiday sales, our team at TSI Trailers has put together a brief guide for the best times of year to make your purchase!
Increased Inventory
It’s no surprise that the best time to buy correlates with the timing of when dealers have the most available inventory. You want to make sure you have many options available to you so you can make the best buying decisions within your set budget and feature requirements. Most often, the ideal purchasing time falls between February and April.
Why is it important to shop when inventory is at the highest? It’s because this gives you the best opportunity to find all of the specs you want! If you shop right when dealerships are prepping for golf season, you’ll have a better chance to get your color of choice with the perfect features you need.
Used Models
People are always on the lookout for opportunities to upgrade their current golf cart, so if you’re considering the purchase of a used model, late winter might be the time to search. As current owners decide they want to upgrade, they’ll likely begin selling in the late winter to start saving up for their new golf cart.
Another demographic to keep in mind as you search for a used model would be snowbirds, or individuals who split time between two locations to have warmer weather year round. It’s possible that they will decide to put their golf cart on the market in early spring, after they realize maintaining two locations may not justify the need for one any longer.
The final option to consider for used models would be golf courses! After a few years of use, managers often decide to sell their fleet and upgrade. You should expect to see great deals for these carts in the winter time.
Dealership Selection
Whether you’d like to purchase new or used, dealerships will often make their selections at the end of winter to prepare for spring and summer. You can anticipate that early spring will offer the most selection, even if the dealer picks up inventory throughout the year.
Another advantage of shopping around this time is that the dealership’s preparation for the season guarantees the service and sales departments have plenty of time to become familiar with the models you’re interested in. They’ll be able to answer your questions in detail and you’ll have the widest selection!
