What a used Excar A1S4 is worth
A clean Excar A1S4 typically sells privately for R55 000 – R110 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 A1S4:
- Lithium 2- or 4-seater (2020+): R55 000 – R110 000 (e.g. Excar, HDK, LVTong, ICON, Evolution) — factory lithium holds value
What we check on an A1S4
Every Excar A1S4 we buy gets the same look in the photos, plus the things that matter on this particular model:
- Lithium A1S4s from 2021 onward are in the strongest demand — we pay a premium for them.
- Check the rear flip seat hinges and the canopy supports.
- A working charger and the original keys make a real difference to the offer.
- Extras — rear flip seat, lights, lift kit, sound system, enclosure. Tidy factory-style extras add real value.
- Charger, keys and manual — a working charger and both keys make the cart easier to resell, and our offer stronger.
Selling your A1S4: how it works
Selling an Excar A1S4 to WeBuyCarts takes three steps. Answer a few questions and upload five or six phone photos (about three minutes). A real buyer values it and sends a written offer within 24 hours, valid for seven days. Accept online, sign on your phone, choose a collection slot — we load it and pay by EFT before we drive away.
We collect anywhere in South Africa with our own transport, and because we refurbish and resell carts ourselves, an A1S4 that needs batteries or a clean-up is still worth real money to us.

Questions sellers ask
How much is an Excar A1S4 worth?
Typically R55 000 – R110 000 for a private sale in South Africa, depending on year, power (lead-acid or lithium), seats and condition. Lithium A1S4s from 2021 onward are in the strongest demand — we pay a premium for them. Send photos for an exact written offer within 24 hours.
Do you buy an A1S4 that isn't running?
Yes. Dead batteries, charger faults, controller problems — we buy A1S4s in any condition and the offer simply reflects the repair. Photograph the battery pack and tell us what's wrong.
Is a lithium A1S4 worth more?
Yes — factory lithium (or a documented conversion) is the single biggest value driver on an A1S4. It can be worth a third more than the same cart on lead-acid, because the next owner isn't facing a new pack.
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.
