Selling a golf cart in Margate: how it works
The process is the same wherever you are: photos and a few details from your phone, a written offer within 24 hours, then accept, sign and book a collection slot online. We arrive with our own transport and pay by EFT before we drive away. No viewings, no time-wasters, no transport to arrange.
We're based in Ballito, which makes Margate an easy run — most collections happen within days of you accepting the offer. We collect from Margate, Uvongo, Shelly Beach and St Michael's-on-Sea.
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 Margate 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.
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 Margate — 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.
Golf cart prices in Margate (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 Margate 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 Margate?
Usually same-day to 1 week of accepting the offer. We're based in Ballito, which makes Margate an easy run — most collections happen within days of you accepting the offer. 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 Margate?
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 Margate?
Yes — Margate, Uvongo, Shelly Beach, St Michael's-on-Sea 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 Margate — 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?
We do. Non-runners are a big part of what we buy around Margate, 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.
