Basil was born in New Delhi, India and has lived in Kenya and Uganda throughout his life. His grandfather was a doctor and his father retired an aeronautical engineer. Basil himself is the widowed father of two wonderful twin sons, Ryan and Neil. Basil enjoys working in the auto industry as he believes the sky is the limit; he has recently sold some cars on-line to customers which he found a very interesting experience. Being candid, truthful and sincere are characteristics Basil feels makes a strong salesperson, all three of which he demonstrates. Although Basil is a peaceful and calm man, don't think that he hasn't had some wild encounters. Basil has come face to face on three separate occasions when he was in east Africa, with a lion, an elephant and a hippo! He also survived an armed carjacking in Nairobi!

Best first car ever! I am a student and looking for a new car was a must. I decided to buy a new car because of the great warrenty and the reliability it offers. I went to I am a student and looking for a new car was a must. I decided to buy a new car because of the great warrenty and the reliability it offers. I went to Budd's wanting a 2015 spark! I took it for a test drive and fell in love with it instantly! Basil showed me in in's and out's of the car and made me comfortable! After a few weeks I decided that this was my car! I went to Basil again and he helped me with every step in purchasing the car! It felt so easy! I felt relaxed and calm the whole time never feeling like I was being scammed or pressured into buying the car! Basil was a great dealer and helped me buy my very first car! Thanks! More

Purchase of a New Cruz I have known Basil from previous enquires into the purchase of a new car. So I chose him and the Budd's Chev dealership as my first choice for the lea I have known Basil from previous enquires into the purchase of a new car. So I chose him and the Budd's Chev dealership as my first choice for the lease of a new car. Basil has always been, and was on this occasion, friendly, courteous, and professional in every way. During the time with him on this occasion he listened, was attentive to my needs and focused on me as the customer. he worked diligently on my behalf to find the best deal that met my budget. He was very generous in allowing me test drives in two different Cruz's. After I had made my choice, with his help, everything moved along very well to finalize the deal. I was able to move quickly and efficiently through the other departments required to complete all the paperwork. The finance department and its' manager was also very helpful in closing this deal. The next day when I returned to sign all the paperwork, everything was ready and organized so I could finish quickly and smoothly. This is the most AMAZING part, I first came in the afternoon, completed the deal, and drove away in a new car by 11am the very NEXT day! This experience was extraordinary and which I had never experienced in all my car buying years!! Shows the effort put forward by the dealership, and especially Basil and his colleagues who went out of there way to make my car buying experience a delight! Thank-you, Basil More
