What a used Club Car Precedent is worth
A clean Club Car Precedent typically sells privately for R20 000 – R75 000 in South Africa (updated 2026-09-01). Where yours sits in that range comes down to the battery, the seats and the hours — and, for this model, a few things specific to the Precedent:
- Older lead-acid 2-seater (2005–2012): R20 000 – R45 000 (e.g. Club Car DS / Precedent, E-Z-GO TXT, Yamaha G22) — battery age decides it
- Mainstream lead-acid (2013–2019): R40 000 – R75 000 (e.g. Club Car Precedent, E-Z-GO RXV, Yamaha Drive)
What we check on a Precedent
Every Club Car Precedent we buy gets the same look in the photos, plus the things that matter on this particular model:
- Early carts (2004–2008) run the IQ system; 2009-onward carts run Excel — both are sound, but a healthy Excel cart is worth a little more.
- Battery age decides the price: a pack older than four years usually knocks the full replacement cost off.
- Fleet-retired Precedents have more hours than private ones — we look at the seat, the pedal wear and the charge cycles, not the year alone.
- A documented lithium conversion lifts a Precedent into the lithium price band.
- Tyres, brakes and steering — we look at tread, brake feel and play in the steering.
- Extras — rear flip seat, lights, lift kit, sound system, enclosure. Tidy factory-style extras add real value.
Selling your Precedent: how it works
The process is the same wherever you are: photos and a few details from your phone, a written offer within 24 hours, then accept, sign and book a collection slot online. We arrive with our own transport and pay by EFT before we drive away. No viewings, no time-wasters, no transport to arrange.
We collect anywhere in South Africa with our own transport, and because we refurbish and resell carts ourselves, a Precedent that needs batteries or a clean-up is still worth real money to us.

Questions sellers ask
How much is a Club Car Precedent worth?
Typically R20 000 – R75 000 for a private sale in South Africa, depending on year, power (electric or petrol), seats and condition. Early carts (2004–2008) run the IQ system; 2009-onward carts run Excel — both are sound, but a healthy Excel cart is worth a little more. Send photos for an exact written offer within 24 hours.
Do you buy a Precedent that isn't running?
Yes. Dead batteries, charger faults, controller problems — we buy Precedents in any condition and the offer simply reflects the repair. Photograph the battery pack and tell us what's wrong.
Do you buy golf carts that aren't running?
We do. Non-runners are a big part of what we buy around South Africa, because we refurbish and resell carts ourselves. A cart with a tired lead-acid pack is still worth real money to us — the offer just allows for the new pack.
Is the offer really free, and do I have to accept it?
Yes and no. The offer is free and there's no obligation at all — it's a firm number, valid for seven days, and you can accept, counter or walk away. We'd rather you took our number to compare than felt pressured.
What do I need on the day of collection?
Your ID, the charger and keys, and the cart where we can load it. We check that it matches your photos, sign off the sale agreement you already signed on your phone, and pay by EFT before we drive away. If the cart lives behind a gate, let security know we're coming or send us a visitor code with your booking.
