Selling a golf cart in Gansbaai: how it works
Selling a golf cart in Gansbaai 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.
Gansbaai sits on our Cape run — we're in the area most weeks, and we confirm a collection date with your offer, usually within seven days.
Near the sea, condition beats age. A five-year-old cart that has lived in a garage in Gansbaai will out-price a two-year-old one that has stood outside in the salt. We look at the battery tray, the frame rails and the brake cables in your photos, and we're honest about what the sea has done.
Holiday-home carts are a special case: they sit for months, then get used hard for three weeks. Batteries left flat over winter are the usual casualty. We're used to collections from second homes in Gansbaai — we can coordinate with a neighbour, a caretaker or the golf estate office, and you sign and get paid from wherever you happen to be.
What we pay for carts in Gansbaai
Across Gansbaai the spread is wide — roughly R40 000 – R180 000 — because battery type, seats and brand matter more than the badge on the front. Below are the bands we see most; send photos and we'll tell you exactly where yours sits.
The things that move a Gansbaai cart up or down the range are the same everywhere: battery age and type, brand (Club Car and Yamaha hold value best), seats and lift, hours and condition, and whether the charger, keys and paperwork are all there.

Questions sellers ask
How quickly can you collect a golf cart in Gansbaai?
Usually within a week of accepting the offer. Gansbaai sits on our Cape run — we're in the area most weeks, and we confirm a collection date with your offer, usually within seven days. You choose a two-hour window that suits you and we come to your home, golf estate or club with our own transport.
What are golf carts selling for in Gansbaai?
Roughly R40 000 – R180 000 for most private carts in Western Cape, with lithium four- and six-seaters at the top. Send photos and we'll price yours exactly, in writing, within 24 hours.
I don't live in Gansbaai — can you still collect my cart?
Yes. Everything happens on your phone — photos, offer, signing, payment — and we arrange the collection with a neighbour, caretaker or golf estate office. Tell us who holds the keys in the form.
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.
