Selling an LVTong in Port Alfred
Chinese fleet and estate carts seen across SA. Valued on battery type/age and body condition. Royal Port Alfred Golf Club and the Royal Alfred Marina canals — carts are the way to move between the boat and the beach.
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 Port Alfred 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.
What we pay for LVTongs in Port Alfred
Used LVTongs in Eastern Cape typically sell for R20 000 – R180 000 (private-sale bands, updated 2026-09-01). For LVTong specifically, these are the things that move the number:
- Lithium conversions and factory lithium units are worth substantially more than lead-acid.
- 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 LVTong golf cart worth in Port Alfred?
Typically R20 000 – R180 000 in Eastern Cape, depending on the model, year, battery and condition. Lithium conversions and factory lithium units are worth substantially more than lead-acid. Send photos and we'll price yours exactly, in writing, within 24 hours.
How quickly can you collect an LVTong in Port Alfred?
Usually 1–3 working days of accepting. Our head office is in George, so collections around Port Alfred usually happen within one to three working days of you accepting — same-day is common close to town.
Do you buy LVTongs that need batteries?
Yes — we refurbish carts, so an LVTong with a tired pack is still worth real money. The offer allows for the new pack; lithium LVTongs 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 Port Alfred, 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.
