Excar owners in Hermanus: 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. Hermanus Golf Club, Fernkloof, Onrus and the Voëlklip beachfront — retirement and holiday carts collected on our regular Overberg run.
Lithium Excars are the everyday golf estate cart across Western Cape. In Hermanus they're priced almost entirely on the battery — a factory lithium pack can be worth more than the rest of the cart — plus the rear seat, lights and charger. Lead-acid Excars are priced on the age of the pack.
A lot of the carts we buy in Hermanus come from retirement villages and downsizing owners: low hours, well looked after, often with the original charger and manual. Those are exactly the carts that fetch the top of our range, and we handle everything — the paperwork, the collection, the payment — so nobody has to organise a trailer.
What we pay for Excars in Hermanus
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

Questions sellers ask
How much is an Excar golf cart worth in Hermanus?

How quickly can you collect an Excar in Hermanus?
Usually within a week of accepting. We collect across the Cape every week; Hermanus collections are normally booked within a week of the offer being accepted.
Do you buy Excars that need batteries?
Yes — we refurbish carts, so an Excar with a tired pack is still worth real money. The offer allows for the new pack; lithium Excars fetch a premium.
Do you buy golf carts that aren't running?
We do. Non-runners are a big part of what we buy around Hermanus, 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.
