Excar owners in Gansbaai: what your cart is worth
The most widely imported Chinese-built cart in South Africa. Modern lithium models with good support hold value well; older lead-acid units are valued on battery condition. Whale-coast holiday homes and the De Kelders cliffs; salt air and low hours — we price both fairly.
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 Gansbaai 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.
What we pay for Excars in Gansbaai
Used Excars in Western Cape typically sell for R20 000 – R180 000 (private-sale bands, updated 2026-09-01). For Excar specifically, these are the things that move the number:
- Lithium (LiFePO4) Excars from 2021 onward are in strong demand — we pay a premium for them.
- Older lead-acid units are priced mostly on battery age and charger condition.
- Parts availability is good in SA, which supports resale.
- 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
- Lithium 2- or 4-seater (2020+): R55 000 – R110 000 (e.g. Excar, HDK, LVTong, ICON, Evolution) — factory lithium holds value

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.
