Pilotcar Ownership Costs
Pilotcar golf carts depreciate slightly faster than premium brands like Club Car or Yamaha, with resale values running about 5% below average. This means operating costs become a larger portion of your total ownership cost. That said, lower purchase prices can offset the higher depreciation.
The biggest factors affecting your Pilotcar's total ownership cost are power type (electric vs gas), battery type, and how heavily you use it. Electric Pilotcar carts typically save $300-$1,000 per year compared to gas models on fuel and maintenance alone.
