Melvin,
It takes the right administrators in place to look at used or off lease. The first question I always asked them is do you buy a new car, or used / off-lease. We purchased low hour John Deere off-lease equipment for the first time three years ago. My department, within the city, was the first to do so. We also purchased 25 EZ- GO reconditioned golf carts three years ago and are having no problems with them. That said I understand EZ-GO does not completely recondition carts like they did three years ago. Some city departments are considering used pickups with 20,000 miles on them for purchase.
Andy thanks I have contacted both vendors you mentioned and have them on the RFP list, but it is good to hear from someone that has experience with these companies.
Thanks, Mark Lytle
