Re: Club Car DS - relaibility
I'm running a 2000.5+ DS series cart, I keep the batteries topped up, in the heat they need it about every 6 weeks or so, but don't use a lot. I keep it covered outside all year round, last year it sat with 3' of snow on top.
Other than the one time I thought it was a good idea to drill a hole through the middle of the OBC it runs like a champ, bone stock, usually with 300+ pounds at a minimum in it! So your question is pretty subjective, drive the bag out of it, put it on a charger once a week and chances are it's not going to be reliable. Like everything else, the time you spend maintaining something determines it's lifespan. Trouble with buying something used is you have no way of determining the history. My rule of thumb is "if it looks like a piece of s***, generally it is"
Now if you looking to buy a project that you just need a frame and body cheap, and you're replacing everything anyway who cares what it looks like, but for a turn key solution....
