What a used Yamaha Drive (G29) is worth
In South Africa the Yamaha Drive (G29) trades between roughly R40 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:
- Mainstream lead-acid (2013–2019): R40 000 – R75 000 (e.g. Club Car Precedent, E-Z-GO RXV, Yamaha Drive)
- Petrol carts: R55 000 – R110 000 (e.g. Yamaha Drive2 QuieTech, E-Z-GO TXT gas)
What we check on a Drive (G29)
Every Yamaha Drive (G29) we buy gets the same look in the photos, plus the things that matter on this particular model:
- 2013-onward EFI petrol Drives are worth more than the earlier carburettor carts.
- Electric Drives are priced on battery age; the drivetrain itself rarely gives trouble.
- PTV (personal transport vehicle) trims with lights and rear seat are the ones estate buyers want.
- Tyres, brakes and steering — we look at tread, brake feel and play in the steering.
- Extras — rear flip seat, lights, lift kit, sound system, enclosure. Tidy factory-style extras add real value.
Selling your Drive (G29): how it works
Selling a Yamaha Drive (G29) 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, a Drive (G29) that needs batteries or a clean-up is still worth real money to us.

Questions sellers ask
How much is a Yamaha Drive (G29) worth?
Typically R40 000 – R110 000 for a private sale in South Africa, depending on year, power (electric or petrol), seats and condition. 2013-onward EFI petrol Drives are worth more than the earlier carburettor carts. Send photos for an exact written offer within 24 hours.
Do you buy a Drive (G29) that isn't running?
Yes. Dead batteries, charger faults, controller problems — we buy Drive (G29)s 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.
