They can last for years or only one year. Some may be durable (too heavy) and some may be cannibalized because they weren't that great. As for trying to buy one, they are usually property of the respective school and cannot be sold legally. We have broken parts from 15 years ago that never got thrown away because we didn't want people to steal them. Also, you shouldn't really refer to these as go karts, as that seems to imply that they have no suspension and a solid rear axle. fyi, The cars generally cost in the range of $40-$75k or more to build.
