Selling in Richards Bay — what to expect
Selling a golf cart in Richards Bay 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.
Richards Bay is handled from our Ballito showroom, so collections are quick: same-day or next-day on the North Coast, within a week elsewhere in KwaZulu-Natal. We collect from Mzingazi Golf Estate, Meerensee and Empangeni.
Near the sea, condition beats age. A five-year-old cart that has lived in a garage in Richards Bay will out-price a two-year-old one that has stood outside in the salt. We look at the battery tray, the frame rails and the brake cables in your photos, and we're honest about what the sea has done.
On the golf estates around Richards Bay, a cart is transport, not a toy — the school run, the clubhouse, the beach gate. That keeps demand high, and it means we can usually resell a good Richards Bay cart within the same golf estate, which is why our offers here are strong. Golf estate rules on speed, lights and roadworthiness matter too: a cart that already meets them is worth more.
Golf cart prices in Richards Bay (2026)
Values in KwaZulu-Natal 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 Richards Bay 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 Richards Bay?
Usually same-day to 1 week of accepting the offer. Richards Bay is handled from our Ballito showroom, so collections are quick: same-day or next-day on the North Coast, within a week elsewhere in KwaZulu-Natal. 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 Richards Bay?
Roughly R40 000 – R180 000 for most private carts in KwaZulu-Natal, 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 Richards Bay?
Yes — Mzingazi Golf Estate, Meerensee, Empangeni 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.
Do you buy golf carts that aren't running?
We do. Non-runners are a big part of what we buy around Richards Bay, 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.
