WITH a new registration plate on its way, it is the right time to take advantage of Seat's offer to "move up a class" on selected models and make savings of up to £2,000.

Until the March 31 customers buying an Arosa 1.0 city car will have their orders automatically upgraded to an Arosa S and gain £500 worth of extra equipment including alloy wheels, electric front windows, remote central locking and a front passenger airbag to match the drivers.

What Car? magazine's Best Supermini 2004 and Car of the Year 2003 is now even more attractive as an Ibiza 1.2 S becomes an Ibiza 1.2 SX.

Moving up from the Cordoba 1.9 TDi S with 100 PS to the top of the range Cordoba 1.9 TDi SE with 130 PS brings extra performance to match the extra equipment including a six-speed gearbox, 15in alloys, trip computer, alarm, climate control and front fog lights, and a saving of £2,000. It is a similar story with Toledo.

The 1.9 TDi SE with 110 PS becomes the more powerful and sporty Toledo TDi SE 130 PS, with sports suspension and six-speed gearbox and a saving of £500.
