In Florida, a used or refurbished golf cart usually runs from about $2,500 for an older model to $12,000 for a late-model lithium cart, and new electric carts from brands like TEKO typically start around $9,500, based on GolfCartIQ’s 2025–2026 Florida market data. Where your cart lands in that range depends mostly on its age, battery type, seating and add-ons. For an exact price on a cart at Mad Dog, call for a quote.
What are typical golf cart prices in Florida right now?
GolfCartIQ tracks listings from Florida and Georgia dealers and names Nocatee and Jacksonville as two of the state’s busiest cart markets. Its 2025–2026 guide gives these general ranges for used carts:
- 2020–2023 models: about $6,500 to $12,000
- 2016–2019 models: about $4,000 to $8,000
- Pre-2016 models: about $2,500 to $5,500
For new carts, the same guide lists TEKO standard models at about $9,500 to $12,000, with other new electric brands in a similar range.
These are market numbers, not Mad Dog prices. They give you a realistic starting point before you shop around St. Augustine, Fruit Cove or Green Cove Springs.
What’s the difference between a refurbished and a new golf cart?
At Mad Dog, there are two paths:
- New carts from brands we’re authorized to sell: TEKO, DACH, Aries EV and Voyager. You get the latest designs, factory lithium batteries on many models, and manufacturer warranty coverage through an authorized dealer.
- Refurbished Club Car and EZGO carts. These are proven platforms that our team reconditions, which makes them a good choice if you want a well-known brand at a lower price than new.
A refurbished cart isn’t the same as a random used cart from an online listing. A used cart is sold as-is. A refurbished cart has been inspected and reconditioned before it’s sold. Ask us exactly what we did on any refurbished cart you’re looking at.
What adds to the price of a golf cart?
GolfCartIQ lists the features that push Florida cart prices up the most:
- Lithium battery: adds about $2,000 to $4,000 compared with lead-acid
- Lift kit: adds about $800 to $2,000
- 6-passenger seating: adds about $1,500 to $2,500
- Custom wrap or paint: adds about $500 to $2,000
- Remaining warranty: adds value on a used cart
That’s why two carts from the same model year can be thousands of dollars apart. Compare carts with the same features, not just the same sticker.
Why does battery age matter so much on a used cart?
GolfCartIQ warns that a lead-acid cart with old batteries may need a $1,200 to $2,000 battery replacement within a year. A cheap cart with a dying pack can quickly cost more than a slightly pricier one with healthy batteries or lithium.
Before you buy, ask:
- How old are the batteries? (Look for date codes on lead-acid batteries.)
- Is it lead-acid or lithium?
- How far does it go on a full charge?
If you love a cart but its batteries are near the end, a lithium battery conversion can be a smart upgrade. It’s one of our main services.
Do prices differ between St. Augustine, Jacksonville and Green Cove Springs?
GolfCartIQ notes that dealer prices in coastal markets tend to run higher than inland markets. In practice, the same type of cart can be priced a bit differently from a beach-area community to an inland town. The bigger factors are still the cart itself and what comes with it, such as service support, warranty and battery condition.
We have two showrooms so you can shop where it’s easiest for you:
- St. Augustine golf carts, close to Nocatee, World Golf Village and the 210 corridor
- Green Cove Springs golf carts, our Clay County showroom and service center
- If you’re coming from Duval, see our Jacksonville golf carts page
Is there a best time of year to buy a golf cart?
GolfCartIQ notes that end-of-model-year clearances, usually August through October, can save shoppers $500 to $1,500 on new carts in the Florida market. That’s a general market trend, not a promise about our pricing. If you’re flexible, ask what’s in stock and what’s arriving.
How do I compare golf cart quotes fairly?
When you get quotes from different dealers, compare:
- Brand and model year
- Battery type and age
- Seating and features (lift, wheels, lights, seat belts, rear seat)
- Warranty, and who actually handles warranty work
- Service after the sale. Can they come to you, or do you need a trailer?
Mad Dog’s service is mostly mobile, with our Green Cove Springs shop as backup, so owning a cart from us doesn’t mean hauling it across the county every time it needs attention.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much is a used golf cart in Florida?
GolfCartIQ’s 2025–2026 Florida data puts used carts at about $2,500 to $5,500 for pre-2016 models, $4,000 to $8,000 for 2016–2019, and $6,500 to $12,000 for 2020–2023 models.
How much does a new TEKO golf cart cost?
GolfCartIQ lists TEKO standard models at about $9,500 to $12,000 in Florida. Mad Dog is an authorized TEKO dealer, so call for a quote on current models and stock.
Are your Club Car and EZGO carts refurbished?
Yes. Every Club Car and EZGO we sell is refurbished. New carts we carry are TEKO, DACH, Aries EV and Voyager, and we’re an authorized dealer for each of those brands.
Is lithium worth the extra cost on a golf cart?
For most owners who ride often, yes. Lithium lasts longer, needs no watering and holds range better in Florida heat. GolfCartIQ estimates it adds $2,000 to $4,000 to a cart’s price.
Where can I see carts in person?
Visit either showroom: St. Augustine (1745 County Road 210) or Green Cove Springs (831 Leonard C Taylor Pkwy). Call ahead to ask what’s in stock at each one.
