As hard as it is to imagine, you don’t have to spend a lot of cash for a go kart. By applying a few simple, time-tested and little-recognized guidelines, you can find the best go-karts at prices so low you’ll think you’re dreaming. Getting the best karts at rock-bottom prices is a simple task, but you must be familiar with the secrets.
Kart racing is now a popular pastime and it’s easy to see why. It only takes one lap to get hooked on this exciting sport. Plus, it’s even more satisfying to realize you bought your rock-solid, well-built go kart at rock-bottom prices. Cheap karts are available, it just requires applying some proven rules to find them.
I get that it’s hard to imagine, but go karts that are 50% lower than retail price are available if you know where to look. And just because they cost less doesn’t mean they will be of lesser quality. It is possible to buy a high-quality kart with a solid, well-made kart frame, a powerful engine, and high-grip kart tires at greatly reduced prices.
You may think that it is not possible to get cheap go karts, but it is much easier than you think. A little persistence, discipline and a few hours of work is all it takes. If you can put a little time and effort into your mission, you can save a good amount of money on your purchase. The line of attack I am about to discuss is certainly not an original technique, but if done correctly it can result in huge savings. Finding cheap go karts is done through valuable price comparisons.
It was much more difficult and time consuming to find cheap go karts before the internet existed. It required many trips to a variety of kart shops and a large number of phone calls. The internet has made the entire locating and purchasing procedure much easier. I’m not saying a little effort isn’t required, but the small amount of labor required can make up for it in big savings.
Step 1 – We’ll start our search by typing words like “cheap karts”, “kart sale” or “discount karts” into the Google search engine. Because go kart is spelled in many ways, you can also try “go cart for sale,” “go karting discounts,” or a variety of other ways. A quick search will provide you with a plethora of dealers offering the most common makes and models. As soon as the search results appear, it’s an easy task to go to about 10 websites, and possibly more, and write down all the prices of the brands you’re interested in. Another place to explore is the sponsored ads on the right hand side of the screen. Many times you can find great sales by clicking on these ads.
Step 2 – As soon as you’ve finished creating your price comparison list, the next step is to repeat the process, but this time you’ll use a different search engine. All search engines are not the same. Each and every one will provide you with distinctive online dealers that may offer the same or different go-kart models.
Now go to Yahoo.com and visit various websites that they think are highly rated go kart dealers. Keep a list of your selling prices just like you did with your first search. They will also have sponsored listings on their results pages, so check out some of these too. You should now have a good price list, but your job isn’t done yet.
Step 3 – Your next search will require a Google product search at google.com/products. This will give you a great list of go carts as well as photos and sale prices. Peruse this list and keep track of the sale prices of the models that most interest you.
Step 4 – Your only remaining stop is eBay. Visit eBay and do a search just like you did before, making sure to note down the various prices of the models you’re interested in. This will probably require you to follow several auctions until they are completed, but you will get a very good idea of what the models are selling for.
When you originally started your search, you used broad-spectrum search terms, but after comparing over a period of time, you’ll be able to determine which style or model of cart appeals to you the most. Once you become familiar with the various models, you can search online using more specific search terms. In other words, you will be able to search for particular models or makes of go kart instead of using broad terms. This can reward you with a large number of sales prices for the identical model, allowing you to locate the lowest sales prices for the models you are most interested in.
When you’ve completed your searches and created a top-tier list of selling prices from numerous dealers, it’s time for the hard part. It’s time to stop shopping for a while and do nothing. That’s right, for the next two or three weeks you will do absolutely nothing. If you just did a search, you would only have prices for a single instance at the time. If you buy something too quickly, you might miss out on a great deal around the corner. Comparing sales prices over a few weeks will increase your chances of finding reduced prices, potentially saving you hundreds of dollars. Kart racing is an exciting and exciting sport, but it’s almost as exciting to know that you found the lowest price for a high-quality ride.
