What affects an LVTong's value
LVTong carts depreciate faster than Club Car or Yamaha in the first two years and then flatten out. Lithium and low hours are what move the price; importer support matters for resale, so tell us who supplied it.
In South Africa a used LVTong typically sells for R20 000 – R180 000 depending on model, year, battery and condition (private-sale bands, updated 2026-09-01). The specifics for LVTong:
- Lithium conversions and factory lithium units are worth substantially more than lead-acid.
LVTong models we buy
We buy every LVTong, but these are the models we see most. Each has its own page with what we check and what it's worth:
LT-A2: LVTong's two-seater, common as a fleet and estate runabout..
LT-A4: The four-seat LVTong seen on estates across South Africa..
LT-A6: Six-seat LVTong for estates and lodges..
LT-A8: Eight-seat people-mover for resorts, estates and lodges..
Selling an LVTong: what we check
Here's how it works: you send photos and answer a short form; we reply with a firm written offer within 24 hours; if you're happy, you accept and sign on your phone and pick a two-hour collection window. On the day we check the cart matches the photos, load it, and pay by EFT before we drive away.
From your photos we look at:
- Charger, keys and manual — a working charger and both keys make the cart easier to resell, and our offer stronger.
- 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.

Questions sellers ask
How much is a used LVTong golf cart worth?
In South Africa a used LVTong typically sells for R20 000 – R180 000 depending on the model, year, battery type and condition. Lithium conversions and factory lithium units are worth substantially more than lead-acid. Send WeBuyCarts photos for an exact written offer within 24 hours.
Do you buy LVTong carts with old or dead batteries?
Yes. We refurbish carts, so an LVTong with a tired lead-acid pack is still worth real money to us — the offer simply reflects the cost of a new pack. Lithium LVTong models fetch a premium.
Which LVTong models fetch the most?
LT-A6, LT-A8 — 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?
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.
