What a used Yamaha G19 is worth
A clean Yamaha G19 typically sells privately for R20 000 – R45 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 G19:
- Older lead-acid 2-seater (2005–2012): R20 000 – R45 000 (e.g. Club Car DS / Precedent, E-Z-GO TXT, Yamaha G22) — battery age decides it
What we check on a G19
Every Yamaha G19 we buy gets the same look in the photos, plus the things that matter on this particular model:
- 48-volt system makes the G19 the pick of the electric Yamahas from this generation.
- Battery age decides the price; a fresh pack lifts it into the mainstream band.
- 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 G19: 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, a G19 that needs batteries or a clean-up is still worth real money to us.

Questions sellers ask
How much is a Yamaha G19 worth?
Typically R20 000 – R45 000 for a private sale in South Africa, depending on year, power (electric), seats and condition. 48-volt system makes the G19 the pick of the electric Yamahas from this generation. Send photos for an exact written offer within 24 hours.
Do you buy a G19 that isn't running?
Yes. Dead batteries, charger faults, controller problems — we buy G19s in any condition and the offer simply reflects the repair. Photograph the battery pack and tell us what's wrong.
Is a lithium G19 worth more?
Yes — factory lithium (or a documented conversion) is the single biggest value driver on a G19. 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?
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.
