Believe it or not, golf carts are being given away. That's right, golf carts of all shapes and sizes can be purchased with no cost. The secret is a ruling from the IRS, which has labeled golf carts as electric cars. Therefore, any buyer can get anywhere from $4,000 to $5,500 towards the purchase of an electric golf cart.

Things You Will Need

A golf cart dealer

Step 1

Before buying any cart, decide on what type is needed. Carts come in many shapes and sizes and are being used for farming, transportation and fun. So, before buying any cart, decide on what the cart is going to be used for.

Step 2

Do a Google search on golf carts and look at the different types. Compare prices and styles, looking for any reviews offered by consumers. Be careful, because there are some reviews out there that might be shady or purposely misleading.

Step 3

Go to the dealer and let them know what you are looking for. However, hold back on the information concerning the tax break. Of course they know it, but avoid showing you do. Like a car, work on the price and when one is settled on, bring up the federal rebate.

Step 4

Research if there is a tax credit at the state level. There are states offering credits, that result in an $8,000 becoming completely free. Like the federal rebate, keep this information away from the dealer, until a price is settled on.

There are thousands of opportunities for consumers, take some time to find them.
