What affects an E-Z-GO's value
E-Z-GO is the volume brand of the used market — there's always a buyer, which keeps our offers steady, and there's always a supply, which keeps them honest.
In South Africa a used E-Z-GO typically sells for R20 000 – R180 000 depending on model, year, battery and condition (private-sale bands, updated 2026-09-01). The specifics for E-Z-GO:
- RXV (2008+) with AC motor is worth noticeably more than a TXT of the same year.
- TXT is the workhorse — huge parts supply, but steel frames can rust in coastal areas.
- Express S4/S6 lifted models are popular in estates and communities — strong demand.
- ELiTE (Samsung lithium) carts from 2018 onward fetch a premium over lead-acid.
E-Z-GO models we buy
We buy every E-Z-GO, but these are the models we see most. Each has its own page with what we check and what it's worth:
TXT (1994–present): The best-selling golf cart ever built.
RXV (2008–present): The RXV's 48-volt AC drive and motor brake make it a better cart than the TXT of the same year, and buyers pay for that.
Freedom RXV (2008–present): The private-owner version of the RXV: lights, a higher top speed and usually a rear seat.
Freedom TXT (2010–present): A TXT set up for private use — lights, a faster speed setting and a rear seat.
Liberty (2020–present): Four forward-facing seats, ELiTE lithium and a long body — E-Z-GO's answer to the family estate cart.
Express S4 (2005–present): The lifted four-seater that made E-Z-GO an estate favourite.
Selling an E-Z-GO: what we check
Selling an E-Z-GO 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.
From your photos we look at:
- Extras — rear flip seat, lights, lift kit, sound system, enclosure. Tidy factory-style extras add real value.
- Tyres, brakes and steering — we look at tread, brake feel and play in the steering.
- Battery type and age — the single biggest factor. A dated invoice or a photo of the date stamp helps.
- Body, seats and canopy — cracks, sun damage and torn seats all cost money to put right.

Questions sellers ask
How much is a used E-Z-GO golf cart worth?
In South Africa a used E-Z-GO typically sells for R20 000 – R180 000 depending on the model, year, battery type and condition. RXV (2008+) with AC motor is worth noticeably more than a TXT of the same year. Send WeBuyCarts photos for an exact written offer within 24 hours.
Do you buy E-Z-GO carts with old or dead batteries?
Yes. We refurbish carts, so an E-Z-GO with a tired lead-acid pack is still worth real money to us — the offer simply reflects the cost of a new pack. Lithium E-Z-GO models fetch a premium.
Which E-Z-GO models fetch the most?
RXV, Freedom RXV, Liberty — lithium, four or six seats, low hours. Older two-seaters on lead-acid sit at the bottom of the range but still sell.
Do you buy golf carts that aren't running?
Yes. Dead batteries, a faulty charger, a controller fault, a cart that has stood for two years — we buy all of them. The offer simply reflects the repair cost. Tell us what's wrong in the form and photograph the battery pack; that's usually all we need.
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.
