Used Yamaha Golf Carts for Sale (2026): Prices, What They're Worth & Buying Guide
Selling one? Sell my golf cart: the step-by-step guide · Free instant appraisal
Yamaha has built golf cars since 1979 and sells them through the same dealer network that handles its motorcycles and outboards, which is why Yamaha carts are the quiet favorite of people who care about the engine. Its gas carts in particular — the fuel-injected QuieTech models — are the quietest and most fuel-efficient gas carts on the market.
Yamaha's electric Drive and Drive2 carts are equally solid, and the UMAX utility line is a staple on farms and estates. On the used market Yamaha carts are a little less common than Club Car or E-Z-GO, hold value well, and are the first choice for buyers who want gas without the noise.

Buying a used Yamaha: what to check
- Identify the model from the code on the serial plate (under the seat or on the frame): G16/G19/G22 are 1990s–2000s, G29 Drive is 2007 on, Drive2 is 2017 on — Yamaha dealers publish the year ranges
- On a gas Yamaha, start it cold and listen; a QuieTech EFI engine should idle almost silently, and hard starting usually means a fuel-system clean-up
- Check the rear leaf springs and body panels on fleet trade-ins; Yamaha steel frames are well coated but a cart that lived on a beach course shows it underneath
- Yamaha's AC electric carts need a healthy controller; a cart that surges or cuts out on hills is a controller or wiring issue, not a battery issue
Frequently asked questions
Are Yamaha gas golf carts better than electric?
For range, towing, and no charging, Yamaha's EFI gas carts are the best in the business and nearly as quiet as electric. For neighborhood driving and lowest running cost, the electric Drive2 is the better choice. Pick by how you will use it.
How do I tell what year my Yamaha golf cart is?
The model code on the serial plate (G29, Drive2, and so on) narrows it to a production span, and the serial number dates it within that span. Yamaha dealers will decode it from a photo of the plate.
Yamaha vs. Club Car vs. E-Z-GO?
All three are fleet-proven. Yamaha leads on gas engines, Club Car on rust-proof frames, E-Z-GO on sheer availability of used carts and parts. Buy the best-kept cart you can find in your budget.
