What a used Star EV Capella is worth
In South Africa the Star EV Capella trades between roughly R55 000 – R180 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
- 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 a Capella
Every Star EV Capella we buy gets the same look in the photos, plus the things that matter on this particular model:
- Six-seat Capellas carry a premium.
- Check the display and the charging port.
- Tyres, brakes and steering — we look at tread, brake feel and play in the steering.
- Charger, keys and manual — a working charger and both keys make the cart easier to resell, and our offer stronger.
Selling your Capella: how it works
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.
We collect anywhere in South Africa with our own transport, and because we refurbish and resell carts ourselves, a Capella that needs batteries or a clean-up is still worth real money to us.

Questions sellers ask
How much is a Star EV Capella worth?
Typically R55 000 – R180 000 for a private sale in South Africa, depending on year, power (lithium), seats and condition. Six-seat Capellas carry a premium. Send photos for an exact written offer within 24 hours.
Do you buy a Capella that isn't running?
Yes. Dead batteries, charger faults, controller problems — we buy Capellas in any condition and the offer simply reflects the repair. Photograph the battery pack and tell us what's wrong.
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.
