Seat is reaching out to any drivers thinking of investing in a new car this March.

The motor company has said it will shave £1,500 off the price of selected Altea and Altea XL models and up to £2,000 off its Toleda.

Zero per cent finance deals are also on the table, along with free child seats and vouchers for Center Parcs resorts worth £750.

Seat has made an encouraging start to the year and is hoping for a shot in the arm when new registrations hit the forecourt.

However, the industry could be in for a tough time with the economy slowing and motorists reining in their budgets.

Inflation is up, the housing market is sluggish and the credit crunch continues to bite, leaving many people feeling out of pocket and perhaps more inclined to buy second hand than new.

This is likely to see more companies like Seat offering sweeteners to potential buyers.
