What a used ICON i40L is worth
A clean ICON i40L typically sells privately for R55 000 – R180 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 i40L:
- Lithium 2- or 4-seater (2020+): R55 000 – R110 000 (e.g. Excar, HDK, LVTong, ICON, Evolution) — factory lithium holds value
- 6-seater / lifted / street kit: R90 000 – R180 000 (e.g. Any brand, 4+2 rear seat, lift kit, lights) — highest demand on estates
What we check on an i40L
Every ICON i40L we buy gets the same look in the photos, plus the things that matter on this particular model:
- Lithium and matched tyres with good tread are the value drivers.
- Check the lift kit and steering for wear.
- Battery type and age — the single biggest factor. A dated invoice or a photo of the date stamp helps.
- Tyres, brakes and steering — we look at tread, brake feel and play in the steering.
Selling your i40L: 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, an i40L that needs batteries or a clean-up is still worth real money to us.

Questions sellers ask
How much is an ICON i40L worth?
Typically R55 000 – R180 000 for a private sale in South Africa, depending on year, power (lead-acid or lithium), seats and condition. Lithium and matched tyres with good tread are the value drivers. Send photos for an exact written offer within 24 hours.
Do you buy an i40L that isn't running?
Yes. Dead batteries, charger faults, controller problems — we buy i40Ls in any condition and the offer simply reflects the repair. Photograph the battery pack and tell us what's wrong.
Is a lithium i40L worth more?
Yes — factory lithium (or a documented conversion) is the single biggest value driver on an i40L. 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?
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.
