LVTong owners in Strand: what your cart is worth
Chinese fleet and estate carts seen across SA. Valued on battery type/age and body condition. Strand Golf Club, Greenways and the Gordon's Bay harbour homes — collected together with Somerset West.
Lithium LVTongs are the everyday golf estate cart across Western Cape. In Strand 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 LVTongs are priced on the age of the pack.
A lot of the carts we buy in Strand come from retirement villages and downsizing owners: low hours, well looked after, often with the original charger and manual. Those are exactly the carts that fetch the top of our range, and we handle everything — the paperwork, the collection, the payment — so nobody has to organise a trailer.
What we pay for LVTongs in Strand
Used LVTongs in Western 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
Collection in Strand
Here's how it works: you send photos and answer a short form; we reply with a firm written offer within 24 hours; if you're happy, you accept and sign on your phone and pick a two-hour collection window. On the day we check the cart matches the photos, load it, and pay by EFT before we drive away.
We collect across the Cape every week; Strand collections are normally booked within a week of the offer being accepted.
We collect from Greenways — if the cart lives behind a gate, a visitor code or a note at security is all we need.

Questions sellers ask
How much is an LVTong golf cart worth in Strand?
Typically R20 000 – R180 000 in Western 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 Strand?
Usually within a week of accepting. We collect across the Cape every week; Strand collections are normally booked within a week of the offer being accepted.
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 Strand, 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.
