Excar owners in Wilderness: what your cart is worth
The most widely imported Chinese-built cart in South Africa. Modern lithium models with good support hold value well; older lead-acid units are valued on battery condition. Minutes from our George office. We collect from the village, the lakes and Kleinkrantz on the same day where we can.
Coastal carts work harder than their hours suggest: sea air attacks battery terminals, chassis rails and brake cables. We buy plenty of Wilderness carts with surface rust — we simply price the clean-up into the offer. If yours has an aluminium chassis (Club Car) or a recent lithium pack, say so; both carry a real premium on the coast.
What we pay for Excars in Wilderness
Used Excars in Western Cape typically sell for R20 000 – R180 000 (private-sale bands, updated 2026-09-01). For Excar specifically, these are the things that move the number:
- Lithium (LiFePO4) Excars from 2021 onward are in strong demand — we pay a premium for them.
- Older lead-acid units are priced mostly on battery age and charger condition.
- Parts availability is good in SA, which supports resale.
- 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

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.

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