Sell your golf cart at Zimbali

Selling a golf cart at Zimbali

Selling a cart on Zimbali is straightforward: our drivers are used to golf estate gates — let security know WeBuyCarts is collecting, or send us a visitor code with your booking. Many Zimbali sellers are moving house; book the collection for the week before transfer and we'll pay on the day.

Selling a cart at Zimbali 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.

Zimbali is handled from our Ballito showroom, so collections are quick: same-day or next-day on the North Coast, within a week elsewhere in KwaZulu-Natal.

What we pay at Zimbali

Most private carts we buy at Zimbali fall between R40 000 – R180 000, with lithium four- and six-seaters at the top. These are typical private-sale bands (updated 2026-09-01); the offer we send is the exact figure we'll pay.

Salt air is the big one on the coast. Lead-acid battery terminals corrode, steel frames and trays rust, and cables go green — none of which stops us buying, but it does change what we pay. A Zimbali cart that has been rinsed and kept under cover is worth noticeably more than one left on the driveway, so a couple of photos of the battery tray and the underside help us give you our best number.

Most of the carts we buy around Zimbali come off golf estates, and most of them go straight back onto one. That's the whole reason we can pay well here: there is always a family on the next street who needs a four-seater. Tell us which golf estate the cart lives on and whether it meets the golf estate's speed and lighting rules — it helps us price it exactly.

• 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)
• 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 look at in your photos

Six phone photos are enough — front, back, both sides, the seats and the battery pack. From those we can see almost everything that sets the price:

• 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.
• Body, seats and canopy — cracks, sun damage and torn seats all cost money to put right.
• Extras — rear flip seat, lights, lift kit, sound system, enclosure. Tidy factory-style extras add real value.
