Selling in Knysna — what to expect
Selling a golf cart in Knysna 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 head office is in George, so collections around Knysna usually happen within one to three working days of you accepting — same-day is common close to town. We collect from Pezula, Simola, Thesen Islands, Leisure Isle, Brenton-on-Sea and Belvidere — 7 areas in all.
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 Knysna 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.
Golf estate carts are our bread and butter. They tend to be low-hours, garaged and fitted with the extras the next owner wants — a rear seat, lights, a decent charger. If you're selling because you're selling the house, book the collection for the week before transfer and we'll pay on the day; the buyer of your home can start fresh with their own cart.
What golf carts are worth in Knysna
Values in Western Cape follow the national market: most private carts sell for R40 000 – R180 000, with lithium four- and six-seaters at the top and older lead-acid two-seaters at the bottom. These are typical private-sale ranges (updated 2026-09-01); our offer is the exact number we'll pay, in writing, within 24 hours.
The things that move a Knysna cart up or down the range are the same everywhere: battery age and type, brand (Club Car and Yamaha hold value best), seats and lift, hours and condition, and whether the charger, keys and paperwork are all there.
- 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

Questions sellers ask
How quickly can you collect a golf cart in Knysna?
Usually 1–3 working days of accepting the offer. Our head office is in George, so collections around Knysna usually happen within one to three working days of you accepting — same-day is common close to town. You choose a two-hour window that suits you and we come to your home, golf estate or club with our own transport.
What are golf carts selling for in Knysna?
Roughly R40 000 – R180 000 for most private carts in Western Cape, with lithium four- and six-seaters at the top. Send photos and we'll price yours exactly, in writing, within 24 hours.
Do you collect from golf estates around Knysna?
Yes — Pezula, Simola, Thesen Islands, Leisure Isle and the rest. Let the gate know we're coming or send us a visitor code with your booking; our drivers are used to golf estate procedures.
I don't live in Knysna — can you still collect my cart?
Yes. Everything happens on your phone — photos, offer, signing, payment — and we arrange the collection with a neighbour, caretaker or golf estate office. Tell us who holds the keys in the form.
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.
