The jaguar is a near threatened species, but the Jaguar X-type car is close to extinction. Earlier this year, it was announced that production of Jaguar’s iconic X-type cars would cease at the end of 2009. One of the most recognisable vehicles in the Jaguar range, the X-type was launched in 2001 as a highlight of the Geneva International Motor Show. The car continued on to become the company’s best-selling model.
The compact executive car still boasts amazing statistics, with the lowest CO2 emissions in its class and the style and sports performance that could only come from a Jaguar. The X-type range combines exhilarating performance with agile handling, with the option of either a saloon or a vibrant spacious estate car. There are four different X-type models still available; S, SE, Sport Premium and the Sovereign, with three different engine types available. All cars offer traction control and dynamic stability control for both safety and high performance. With all the options on offer with the X-type, there is a model and finish to suit everyone.
With production likely to end very soon, the window of opportunity to own a new X-Type Jaguar is becoming smaller and smaller. However, there is still the chance to buy, with showrooms such as Caffyns Jaguar in Eastbourne, where X-types are on offer in conjunction with the government’s scrappage scheme, and the company now also offer 0% APR on this model. This classic British car will not be around much longer so take the chance to test drive a new X-type while you still can.

There is an influx of new cars coming into the market, ready to excite all you petrol (and diesel) heads out there.
Audi have launched the A5 Sportback, a car notable for its exceptional style, as well as its functionality. The new car boasts frameless doors and an outstanding amount of interior space.
Jaguar have two exciting new models on offer; the XF and the XK. Jaguar have been creators and purveyors of sporting luxury for decades, and these new cars are no exception. The XF fuses sports car performance and style with the practicality and space of a saloon. The XK combines advanced technology and legendary performance all in the stylish shape that is so synonymous with the Jaguar brand.
Land Rover have created the new Discovery 4 and the new Range Rover Sport. Both cars excel both on and off road, with progressive and contemporary exteriors.
The new offering from Peugeot is the 3008; a car that manages to be both compact and spacious, featuring interiors that are high-tech and luxurious.
Volkswagen have adapted and re-launched their beloved Polo. The new model stays loyal to the company’s values of robust engineering, with an impressive use of space, in a car that offers you protection, both in the city or on the open road.
Chevrolet have developed their new Cruze Saloon, which has a dual cockpit design that aims to prove that you do not need to compromise on either style or value when purchasing a new car.
The Skoda Yeti is a great neat and compact family car, offering a generous boot and panoramic sunroof that makes it ideal to drive, wherever you want to go.
All of these cars are available to purchase at Caffyns showrooms throughout the South East of England, where many of these new models are eligible for a huge £2000 discount through the government’s scrappage scheme.

Owners of middle-aged cars may feel quite neglected at the moment; with car manufacturers focusing on the government scrappage scheme that offers significant money off for those who buy new cars and trade in a car over ten years old. It seems that everyone is focusing on either old vehicles or new cars. Some businesses haven’t forgotten about these drivers; companies such as Caffyns offer special offers for drivers for several different car makes, including Volvo, Land Rover and Vauxhall .
With showrooms located across the South East of England specialising in a variety of car makes and models, Caffyns sell new and used cars, but also offer deals for those who have neither new, nor very old cars. At their Volvo showrooms, the company offers a free safety inspection, with a VIDA system that uses a direct link with Sweden so that all the latest updates can be downloaded onto your Volvo. With this check up, your car stays as safe and reliable as it can be. You can’t get that in your local garage.
For Land Rover drivers, Caffyns Land Rover Lewes offers an Allegiance service for all Land Rovers over 3 years old. Ask for this Allegiance Service and your servicing costs reduce straight away, it’s as easy as that.
Caffyns’ Vauxhall showrooms have the amazing offer of half price MOTs with every service, and their price match scheme means that they will match every service or repair quote on a your Vauxhall in a 20 mile radius. This offer also applies at their Volvo showrooms, with quotes from garages in a 5 mile radius.
So all of you out there who feel like the motor industry have forgotten about you, don’t worry, some companies are still trying to offer you the best deals.
