1991 ezgo 36v electric golf cart salvage question
Hello Everyone
Some may recall I've been working slowly on my mothers golf cart, Well recently the golf cart was rear ended by a pickup truck. Damage does not look bad at first look but now the frame is bent, can't even get into the cart on the drivers side because its hard to get past the steering wheel now unless your skin and bones brakes no longer working, I suspect the bent frame is causing the cables not to retract right the battery try has now broken at many stops that was weak to begin with the real question is if the insurance company allows me to keep it or buy it cheap, should I? i am not a repair person for it but its likely that for what they are going to give she's going to have to get a cart around the same age, so i am wondering if it might be worth a hundred bucks or so just so i can take out the internals of the cart, she's also had others asked to buy it is as well. i mean as far as I know the rest of it works still like the electric engine, solenoid, and rest of internals like that. Thanks for your advice. Ryan |

I wouldn't keep it if the frame is bent that much.

It might be worth posting in the AD Section to see if someone has a workable frame to use for rebuild. I assume you have the marathon that you asked about the frame previously.

Depending what the insurance pays and what they would sell it to you for as salvage, a lot of the internals and salvageable body parts could be sold on the used market if you have the time. I'm sure there are people looking for good used parts for their 91'. This could be some ca$h to buy a replacement cart that doesn't require a lot of work.

Re: 1991 ezgo 36v electric golf cart salvage question
As someone who has experience in the Auto body repair and the insurance side of repairing vehicles, I would say it depends on 2 factors.
1 Your comfort level doing the repairs. 2 What do you currently have in your toolbox. Not having the right tools / equipment can quickly increase the cost and frustration factor. |

You would need to strip it down and see what you have. I had something similar and stripped it down to the frame, chained the front to a big tree and the rear to tractor.. Little pulling and was able to get pretty close to original..

Re: 1991 ezgo 36v electric golf cart salvage question
hello everyone,
I was not looking so much to salvage the frame, its bent and i will never be able to get it right, its more the internal motor, controller, etc, all that appears just fine, the rear axel might be suspect though so sounds like if cheap enough it might be worth it to have the parts especially if she gets another cart in the same year frame where the stuff is compatible |

Re: 1991 ezgo 36v electric golf cart salvage question
well i am assuming that she will not get enough out of it to even buy one like she had so it might even go older but i could be wrong, the insurance company seems to be taking its forever sweat time doing anything its been like two weeks and i don't think they adjuster has seen the cart first hand yet
