Yamaha owners in Johannesburg: what your cart is worth
Bulletproof petrol (EFI) and electric carts. Yamaha gas carts hold value exceptionally well; Drive2 (2017+) is the current platform. Eye of Africa, Houghton, Glenvista and the northern suburbs — Joburg has more golf-estate carts than anywhere else in South Africa.
Yamaha petrol carts are the pick for the long or hilly runs around Johannesburg, where charging is a hassle and range matters; demand for QuieTech and Drive2 petrol carts here is steady all year. Electric Yamahas are priced on battery age like any other cart.
In a city the size of Johannesburg the logistics are the easy part: we're in the area often, we drive our own transport and we don't need you to move the cart anywhere. Pick a two-hour window in the booking step and we'll be there.
What we pay for Yamahas in Johannesburg
Used Yamahas in Gauteng typically sell for R40 000 – R180 000 (private-sale bands, updated 2026-09-01). For Yamaha specifically, these are the things that move the number:
- Yamaha EFI/QuieTech petrol carts are the strongest-holding gas carts on the market.
- Drive2 electric with PowerTech AC is worth more than the older G29 Drive.
- Fleet-retired Yamahas are common — hours and body condition matter more than age.
- 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)

Questions sellers ask
How much is a Yamaha golf cart worth in Johannesburg?
Typically R40 000 – R180 000 in Gauteng, depending on the model, year, battery and condition. Yamaha EFI/QuieTech petrol carts are the strongest-holding gas carts on the market. Send photos and we'll price yours exactly, in writing, within 24 hours.
How quickly can you collect a Yamaha in Johannesburg?
Usually within 7 days of accepting. We run Gauteng, the Hartbeespoort side of the North West and the Bela-Bela side of Limpopo every week, so most Johannesburg collections happen within seven days of you accepting.
Do you buy Yamahas that need batteries?
Yes — we refurbish carts, so a Yamaha with a tired pack is still worth real money. The offer allows for the new pack; lithium Yamahas 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 Johannesburg, 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.
