“As my wife and I considered the purchase of an upgrade for our lovely Jayco Conquest we were a little daunted by the practicalities surrounding the finding , assessing, traveling to, negotiating and handing over the vehicles. It appeared to be far more complicated than buying or selling a car. There were considerations around suitability to driving licenses, gas certificates, vehicle safety inspections, handing over payments in an environment of daily scams and the passing on of information pertaining to the safe and practical operation of a complex home on wheels.
We were fortunate to happen upon Scott and Samantha from Wide Open Spaces Australia, a dealership with a difference, and we found our new Birdsville and sold our Jayco Conquest in little over a month, and with very few complications along the way. Our relationship with Scott and Samantha began when we found a motorhome that caught our eye advertised on one of the national RV websites. Following the contact lead for the dealer, we were soon talking to Scott. We soon found out that Wide Open Spaces was a dealership with a difference. It is a dealership without a yard. Scott and Samantha run a registered dealership from their home and act as a go between for seller and buyer. While a little surprised by this at first, we soon found that all conditions for a registered dealership were in place and Scott soon had us looking through the beautiful Birdsville we eventually purchased. He acted as a support for both the seller and the buyer, providing relevant documentation and answering any questions we had. The business handled obtaining gas certificates, safety inspections, government registration documents, detailing and comprehensive handover procedures. Monies were handled through Trust Accounts and all financial transactions were handled promptly and professionally with full contract and receipt documentation. Communication between ourselves and Wide Open Spaces was of a very high level and we were constantly kept briefed as we stepped through the different stages of the purchase.
When the sale was completed we were extremely happy with the professionalism of Scott and Samantha and their Wide Open Spaces business.
Our positive impressions of the business were reinforced further when within a couple of weeks they had secured a buyer for our previous motorhome and stepped us all successfully through the selling process.
We are now enjoying our new motorhome and are happy that the financial burden has been relieved by the prompt sale of our existing motorhome for a very satisfying price.
Our experience with Wide Open Spaces Australia has been nothing but positive. We thank Scott and Samantha for their professionalism and hard work and have no hesitation in recommending the business to others.”
