Yamaha owners in Upington: what your cart is worth
Bulletproof petrol (EFI) and electric carts. Yamaha gas carts hold value exceptionally well; Drive2 (2017+) is the current platform. Upington Golf Club and the Orange River farms — heat and dust, so we check batteries and bearings.
Yamaha petrol carts are the pick for the long or hilly runs around Upington, where charging is a hassle and range matters; demand for QuieTech and Drive2 petrol carts here is steady all year. Electric Yamahas are priced on battery age like any other cart.
Inland carts usually have clean frames and tired batteries — the opposite of the coast. We price Upington carts mostly on the age and health of the pack, the state of the charger and the tyres; bodywork is rarely the problem.
What we pay for Yamahas in Upington
Used Yamahas in Northern Cape typically sell for R40 000 – R180 000 (private-sale bands, updated 2026-09-01). For Yamaha specifically, these are the things that move the number:
- Yamaha EFI/QuieTech petrol carts are the strongest-holding gas carts on the market.
- Drive2 electric with PowerTech AC is worth more than the older G29 Drive.
- Fleet-retired Yamahas are common — hours and body condition matter more than age.
- 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)

Do you buy Yamahas that need batteries?
Yes — we refurbish carts, so a Yamaha with a tired pack is still worth real money. The offer allows for the new pack; lithium Yamahas 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 Upington, 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.
