1984 club car

[silver06xe]

I am new here and to the golf cart world and have a few questions. I just got a 1984 club car and was wondering if I paid to much for it I paid $1000 I did not know the year till I got home and looked at the serial # but everything was working when I drove it. My other question is do the resistor coils normally get so hot that the body of the cart gets almost to hot to touch? thanks for any replies

$1000 is a little high unless the cart is mint and has brand new batteries. The resistor coils will get very hot if you drive at slower speeds. At full speed they are out of the loop and run cool. Make sure all the cables and connections are clean and tight at the resistor coils and everywhere else on the cart.
