Don't buy a thing until you verify the VIN situation with the state DMV. In Illinois (as well as many other states) a golf cart CANNOT/WILL NOT be considered an LSV or NEV because it was NOT MANUFACTURED as one and has no 17 digit VIN.

Your local government can set their own rules concerning using modified golf carts on village streets, but the state will only plate/tag the ones with a proper VIN.
