Lakefield: what to expect
Lakefield is on our regular Benoni route. There's nothing to arrange on your side beyond choosing a collection slot — we bring the transport, the paperwork is already signed on your phone, and payment happens before we leave.
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.
Lakefield is on our weekly Gauteng run; we confirm a collection date with the offer, usually inside a week.
Golf cart values in Lakefield
Most private carts we buy in Lakefield 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.
On the golf estates around Lakefield, a cart is transport, not a toy — the school run, the clubhouse, the beach gate. That keeps demand high, and it means we can usually resell a good Lakefield cart within the same golf estate, which is why our offers here are strong. Golf estate rules on speed, lights and roadworthiness matter too: a cart that already meets them is worth more.
Waterfront carts in Lakefield tend to be low-hours and high-spec — a rear seat, a cooler, big tyres. They're in demand. And because we also buy boats, jet skis and trailers, one form covers the lot.
- 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:
- 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.
- 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.

Questions sellers ask
Do I need to arrange access for you at Lakefield?
No — we come to your home. If the cart is in a complex or behind a gate, a visitor code or a note at the gate is all we need.
How soon can you collect in Lakefield?
Usually within 7 days of accepting. Lakefield is on our weekly Gauteng run; we confirm a collection date with the offer, usually inside a week.
Can you buy my boat or jet ski at the same time?
Yes. Submit each item separately in the form (it takes a minute each) and we'll send one offer per item and collect everything on the same day.
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.
