Your Precedent in Margate: what it's worth here
The most common used golf cart on the market and the one we buy most. Aluminium chassis, 48-volt IQ or Excel drive, and a huge fleet-retirement supply that keeps prices honest. Margate, Uvongo, Shelly Beach and St Michael's: holiday carts with low hours are our favourite South Coast buys.
Club Car's aluminium chassis is a genuine advantage in Margate: there's no frame rust to price in, so a coastal Club Car usually beats a steel-framed cart of the same age. We still check the battery tray and cables for salt, but the bones are almost always sound.
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.
What a Precedent is worth in Margate
A clean Club Car Precedent typically sells privately for R20 000 – R75 000 in KwaZulu-Natal (updated 2026-09-01). The specifics we look at on a Precedent:
- Early carts (2004–2008) run the IQ system; 2009-onward carts run Excel — both are sound, but a healthy Excel cart is worth a little more.
- Battery age decides the price: a pack older than four years usually knocks the full replacement cost off.
- Fleet-retired Precedents have more hours than private ones — we look at the seat, the pedal wear and the charge cycles, not the year alone.
- A documented lithium conversion lifts a Precedent into the lithium price band.

Usually same-day to 1 week of accepting. We're based in Ballito, which makes Margate an easy run — most collections happen within days of you accepting the offer.
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.
