What a used ICON i40 is worth
In South Africa the ICON i40 trades between roughly R55 000 – R110 000 depending on year, power and condition. The offer we send is the exact figure we'll pay; the bands below show where the range comes from:
- 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 i40
Every ICON i40 we buy gets the same look in the photos, plus the things that matter on this particular model:
- Lithium i40s (2022+) fetch a premium over the early lead-acid carts.
- Check the rear flip seat, the lights and the touchscreen — all standard, all expensive to replace.
- Low-hour community carts get our best ICON offers.
- Extras — rear flip seat, lights, lift kit, sound system, enclosure. Tidy factory-style extras add real value.
- Body, seats and canopy — cracks, sun damage and torn seats all cost money to put right.
Selling your i40: how it works
Selling an ICON i40 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 i40 that needs batteries or a clean-up is still worth real money to us.

Questions sellers ask
How much is an ICON i40 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 i40s (2022+) fetch a premium over the early lead-acid carts. Send photos for an exact written offer within 24 hours.
Do you buy an i40 that isn't running?
Yes. Dead batteries, charger faults, controller problems — we buy i40s in any condition and the offer simply reflects the repair. Photograph the battery pack and tell us what's wrong.
Is a lithium i40 worth more?
Yes — factory lithium (or a documented conversion) is the single biggest value driver on an i40. 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.
