Excar carts in Knysna
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. From Pezula and Simola to Thesen Islands and the Knysna Golf Club, carts here live hard in salt air — we price fairly for coastal wear.
Lithium Excars are the everyday golf estate cart across Western Cape. In Knysna 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.
Holiday-home carts are a special case: they sit for months, then get used hard for three weeks. Batteries left flat over winter are the usual casualty. We're used to collections from second homes in Knysna — we can coordinate with a neighbour, a caretaker or the golf estate office, and you sign and get paid from wherever you happen to be.
What we pay for Excars in Knysna
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 Knysna?
Typically R20 000 – R180 000 in Western Cape, depending on the model, year, battery and condition. Lithium (LiFePO4) Excars from 2021 onward are in strong demand — we pay a premium for them. Send photos and we'll price yours exactly, in writing, within 24 hours.

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?
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.
