Great experience
Wow - just quite fantastic. I wanted to purchase a vehicle for the first time. And Sid was just fantastic. His eagerness to help far exceeded the height he possesses, talking me through the long list of options I had available to me and answering any of my questions with wonderful proficiency. A true testament to young people working in the industry. Sid should be very proud and recognised for his fantastic work.
