Selling a golf cart at Olivewood
Olivewood carts are exactly what we buy most: garaged, low-hours, usually with the extras the next owner wants. Because we resell within the same golf estate more often than not, our offers here are strong. Tell us whether the cart meets the golf estate's speed and lighting rules — that's worth money.
Selling a cart at Olivewood 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.
For Eastern Cape we schedule collection with our own transport partners — usually within seven to fourteen days of you accepting — and we confirm the date with your offer.
Golf cart values at Olivewood
Most private carts we buy at Olivewood 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.
Collections across Olivewood are routine for us — gated complexes, golf estates, storage units, the lot. We book a two-hour window that suits you and phone ahead. If the cart lives somewhere with restricted access, a visitor code or a note at the gate is all we need.
Coastal carts work harder than their hours suggest: sea air attacks battery terminals, chassis rails and brake cables. We buy plenty of Olivewood carts with surface rust — we simply price the clean-up into the offer. If yours has an aluminium chassis (Club Car) or a recent lithium pack, say so; both carry a real premium on the coast.
- 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.
- Extras — rear flip seat, lights, lift kit, sound system, enclosure. Tidy factory-style extras add real value.
- 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.

Questions sellers ask
Do I need to arrange access for you at Olivewood?
Just let the gate or the office know WeBuyCarts is collecting on the day, or send us a visitor code with your booking. Our drivers are used to golf estate procedures.
How soon can you collect at Olivewood?
Usually 7–14 days of accepting. For Eastern Cape we schedule collection with our own transport partners — usually within seven to fourteen days of you accepting — and we confirm the date with your offer.
I'm selling my Olivewood home — can you take the cart before transfer?
Yes, that's one of the most common reasons people sell to us. Book a collection slot before your move-out date and we'll pay on the day; the buyer of your home can start fresh with their own cart.
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.
