Wilderness Village: what to expect
Beach-village carts like the ones at Wilderness Village are usually low-hours but hard on batteries and steel parts. Photos of the battery pack and the underside let us price for that fairly, and the collection is arranged around whoever holds the keys.
Selling a cart in Wilderness Village to WeBuyCarts takes three steps. Answer a few questions and upload five or six phone photos (about three minutes). A real buyer values it and sends a written offer within 24 hours, valid for seven days. Accept online, sign on your phone, choose a collection slot — we load it and pay by EFT before we drive away.
Because we're based in George, Wilderness Village collections are quick — typically one to three working days after you accept, often sooner.
What we pay in Wilderness Village
Most private carts we buy in Wilderness Village fall between R40 000 – R180 000, with lithium four- and six-seaters at the top. These are typical private-sale bands (updated 2026-09-01); the offer we send is the exact figure we'll pay.
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 Wilderness Village 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.
Plenty of Wilderness Village carts belong to owners who live elsewhere. That's no problem: the whole process — photos, offer, signing, payment — happens on your phone, and we arrange the collection with whoever holds the keys. Just tell us in the form who to phone on the day.
- 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
What we look at in your photos
Six phone photos are enough — front, back, both sides, the seats and the battery pack. From those we can see almost everything that sets the price:
- Tyres, brakes and steering — we look at tread, brake feel and play in the steering.
- Battery type and age — the single biggest factor. A dated invoice or a photo of the date stamp helps.
- Body, seats and canopy — cracks, sun damage and torn seats all cost money to put right.
- Extras — rear flip seat, lights, lift kit, sound system, enclosure. Tidy factory-style extras add real value.

Questions sellers ask
Do I need to arrange access for you at Wilderness Village?
No — we come to your home. If the cart is in a complex or behind a gate, a visitor code or a note at the gate is all we need.
How soon can you collect in Wilderness Village?
Usually 1–3 working days of accepting. Because we're based in George, Wilderness Village collections are quick — typically one to three working days after you accept, often sooner.
Do you buy golf carts that aren't running?
We do. Non-runners are a big part of what we buy around Wilderness Village, 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.
