If adjusted too tight, you will have a hard pedal but due to heat build up the brakes will fade. You will need to do a complete check of all bolts and fluids as well as checking adjustments. This is the main reason a reputable dealer charges more as compared to an online purchase. Expect to spend 2-3 hours to completely check the entire buggy out. Total time to set a buggy up for turn key sale to a customer is about 5 hours on average. If you take the time to do a complete job you will find a much more reliable buggy.
