ICON owners in Hermanus: what your cart is worth
The fastest-growing value brand in the US. Street-legal (LSV) from the factory with lithium options — depreciation is steeper than Club Car but demand is huge in Florida communities. Hermanus Golf Club, Fernkloof, Onrus and the Voëlklip beachfront — retirement and holiday carts collected on our regular Overberg run.
ICON's factory street-legal kit is exactly what Hermanus's golf estate buyers want, which helps our offers. Model year matters more than mileage: 2022-onward lithium ICONs hold value far better than the early lead-acid carts.
Retirement-village carts are usually the easiest sale of all: one careful owner, short trips, garaged, serviced. If you're helping a parent sell, we'll deal with you directly, keep the paperwork simple and pay by EFT before we drive away — no cash, no strangers at the door.
What we pay for ICONs in Hermanus
Used ICONs in Western Cape typically sell for R55 000 – R180 000 (private-sale bands, updated 2026-09-01). For ICON specifically, these are the things that move the number:
- Street-legal LSV package (lights, mirrors, seatbelts, VIN) is standard — a plus for community buyers.
- Lithium models (2022+) hold value much better than early lead-acid i40s.
- Expect 30–40% depreciation in the first two years, then a flatter curve.
- Lithium 2- or 4-seater (2020+): R55 000 – R110 000 (e.g. Excar, HDK, LVTong, ICON, Evolution) — factory lithium holds value
- 6-seater / lifted / street kit: R90 000 – R180 000 (e.g. Any brand, 4+2 rear seat, lift kit, lights) — highest demand on estates

Questions sellers ask
How much is an ICON golf cart worth in Hermanus?
Typically R55 000 – R180 000 in Western Cape, depending on the model, year, battery and condition. Street-legal LSV package (lights, mirrors, seatbelts, VIN) is standard — a plus for community buyers. Send photos and we'll price yours exactly, in writing, within 24 hours.
How quickly can you collect an ICON 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 ICONs that need batteries?
Yes — we refurbish carts, so an ICON with a tired pack is still worth real money. The offer allows for the new pack; lithium ICONs fetch a premium.
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.
