Used Golf Cart Prices in 2026: What They Really Cost (by Brand, Seats, Year & State)
The median used golf cart on Commonplace runs about $7,599, and unlike most big-ticket items, they barely depreciate, selling for only about 32% below new. Here is what used golf carts actually cost right now, broken down by brand, seat count, model year, and state, with real listings you can browse.
Golf carts are one of the most interesting used markets out there. Demand has exploded as street-legal, lithium-powered carts turned into everyday neighborhood EVs, and that demand keeps used prices high. If you buy right, a used cart holds almost all its value.
Used golf carts by brand: $6,599 to $10,000+
Club Car is the value play; Evolution, ICON and Bintelli are the pricier new-generation LSVs. Median used price by brand across our listings:
| Brand | Median used price |
|---|---|
| Bintelli | $10,000 |
| Evolution | $9,720 |
| ICON | $8,474 |
| EZ-GO | $7,218 |
| Yamaha | $7,205 |
| Club Car | $6,599 |
A few real ones on Commonplace right now:
By seat count: 2, 4, or 6 seater
Every extra row adds a couple thousand dollars. A 2-seater is the budget pick; the 4-seater is the popular all-rounder; a 6-seater is the family hauler and the priciest.
By model year
Newer carts (2023 and up) run about $9,099, roughly $3,300 more than a 2000 to 2017 cart. The jump reflects the shift to lithium and street-legal LSVs. But a well-kept older Club Car or EZ-GO is where the value is.
Used golf cart prices by state
Golf cart pricing is fairly consistent nationwide (about $7,200 to $8,500), so where the cart is matters less than for most items. California and South Carolina run highest; Florida, Texas and Georgia have the deepest inventory. Since we deliver nationwide, it is worth shopping outside your own state.
| State | Median used price | Sample listings |
|---|---|---|
| California | $8,474 | 115 |
| South Carolina | $8,474 | 67 |
| Florida | $7,724 | 318 |
| Ohio | $7,669 | 73 |
| Michigan | $7,599 | 54 |
| Georgia | $7,550 | 128 |
| N. Carolina | $7,550 | 96 |
| Texas | $7,224 | 148 |
| Kentucky | $7,205 | 47 |
Used vs new: golf carts hold their value
On the listings where sellers shared the original price, used carts averaged $8,505 against $12,439 new, only about 32% off. That is remarkable. A new hot tub loses most of its value the day it is installed; a golf cart barely moves. That cuts both ways: you will not steal one for pennies, but if you buy right and take care of it, you can resell for close to what you paid.
What actually moves the price
- Battery. The single biggest factor on an electric cart. Lithium holds value best; a tired lead-acid pack is a $1,500+ replacement and a strong negotiation point.
- Street-legal (LSV). Windshield, lights, seatbelts, a VIN and 25 mph make it road-legal and worth a real premium.
- Seats. 6 > 4 > 2, a couple thousand dollars per row.
- Year and brand. Newer lithium LSVs (Evolution, ICON, Bintelli) top the range; older Club Car and EZ-GO are the value end.
- Lift kit, wheels, and extras. A lifted cart with upgraded wheels and a rear seat kit commands more.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a used golf cart cost?
On Commonplace the median used golf cart is about $7,599. A basic older 2-seater can be found around $5,183, a 4-seater runs about $8,143, and a 6-seater or a new-generation street-legal LSV pushes $10,349+.
Do used golf carts hold their value?
Yes, unusually well. Used golf carts sell for only about 32% below new on average ($8,505 used vs $12,439 retail), versus 60 to 70% off for something like a hot tub. Strong demand and simple, long-lasting drivetrains keep resale high, especially for Club Car, EZ-GO and the newer lithium LSVs.
Which used golf cart brand is best value?
Club Car has the lowest median ($6,599) and a huge parts network, so it is the value pick. EZ-GO and Yamaha sit around $7,200. Evolution, ICON and Bintelli are the newer street-legal lithium brands and cost more ($8,500 to $10,000) because they are effectively small EVs.
Is a 2, 4, or 6 seater right for me?
A 2-seater $5,183 median) is cheapest and fine for a couple. A 4-seater ($8,143) is the most popular all-rounder. A 6-seater ($10,349) is for families and neighborhoods but costs the most and is harder to store.
Should I buy gas or electric?
Electric (especially lithium) is quieter, cheaper to run, and where the market is heading; lithium carts hold value best. Gas has more range and towing muscle. On a used cart, a healthy battery pack matters more than the badge, which is why testing before you pay is the whole game.
