What a used Yamaha Drive2 is worth
In South Africa the Yamaha Drive2 trades between roughly R40 000 – R150 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)
- Premium lithium 4-seater (2019+): R85 000 – R150 000 (e.g. Club Car Onward / Tempo, E-Z-GO RXV ELiTE, Yamaha Drive2)
- Petrol carts: R55 000 – R110 000 (e.g. Yamaha Drive2 QuieTech, E-Z-GO TXT gas)
What we check on a Drive2
Every Yamaha Drive2 we buy gets the same look in the photos, plus the things that matter on this particular model:
- QuieTech EFI petrol carts hold value better than any other petrol cart on the market.
- PowerTech AC electric carts with lithium fetch a clear premium over the lead-acid versions.
- Check the independent rear suspension bushes and the body under the seat for wear.
- Charger, keys and manual — a working charger and both keys make the cart easier to resell, and our offer stronger.
- Tyres, brakes and steering — we look at tread, brake feel and play in the steering.
Selling your Drive2: how it works
Selling a Yamaha Drive2 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 Drive2 that needs batteries or a clean-up is still worth real money to us.

Questions sellers ask
How much is a Yamaha Drive2 worth?
Typically R40 000 – R150 000 for a private sale in South Africa, depending on year, power (electric or petrol), seats and condition. QuieTech EFI petrol carts hold value better than any other petrol cart on the market. Send photos for an exact written offer within 24 hours.
Do you buy a Drive2 that isn't running?
Yes. Dead batteries, charger faults, controller problems — we buy Drive2s 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?
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.
