Ifafi: what to expect
Beach-village carts like the ones at Ifafi are usually low-hours but hard on batteries and steel parts. Photos of the battery pack and the underside let us price for that fairly, and the collection is arranged around whoever holds the keys.
Selling a cart in Ifafi 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.
Our Gauteng team is in the Ifafi area every week — collections are normally booked within seven days of the offer being accepted.
Golf cart values in Ifafi
Most private carts we buy in Ifafi 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.
Dam-side and riverside homes mean carts that run from the house to the water — and often a boat or jet ski that's being sold at the same time. We buy those too, so if you're clearing the whole garage in Ifafi, tell us in the form and we'll price everything together.
Most of the carts we buy around Ifafi 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.
- Charger, keys and manual — a working charger and both keys make the cart easier to resell, and our offer stronger.
- 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.

Questions sellers ask
Do I need to arrange access for you at Ifafi?
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 Ifafi?
Usually within 7 days of accepting. Our Gauteng team is in the Ifafi area every week — collections are normally booked within seven days of the offer being accepted.
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?
We do. Non-runners are a big part of what we buy around Ifafi, because we refurbish and resell carts ourselves. A cart with a tired lead-acid pack is still worth real money to us — the offer just allows for the new pack.
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.
