How a Jaguar Can Bring Class and Style to Your Driveway

Owning a Jaguar changes everything. Change the way the world views you with a literal lap of luxury.

• Noble Underpinnings: Sir William Lyons formed the Swallow Sidecar Company (later Jaguar Cars) in 1922. The business got its start developing attractive side cars. Five years later, the firm began producing economical coach-built vehicles. Soon the Swallow Sidecar Company was producing more than a dozen cars per week. The first SS Jaguar 100 was produced in 1935 and was a widely popular sports car. After World War II, Sir Lyons changed the company name to “Jaguar” in order to create distance from the original “SS” (Swallow Sidecar) marque. The company feared negative connotations with the recently defeated Nazi Schutzstaffel corps would hurt sails. In 1956, Sir Lyons was knighted for the export success of his now world-famous car company.
  
  
• Peerless Visuals: The modern selection of Jaguar vehicles is sure to demand attention. The flagship XJ is a full-sized sedan that evokes the saloon car styling of Jaguar’s past. Long, sweeping exterior lines give the XJ a majestic appearance. The mid-sized executive Jaguar XF is the successor of the luxurious Jaguar S-Type. The vehicle’s bold, seamless exterior design will turn heads on the road and at home. The Jaguar XK provides grand touring performance and unrivaled aesthetic appeal. Choose a convertible model to express your fast lane lifestyle.
  
  
• Classical Elegance: Becoming a Jaguar enthusiast requires no love for modern motors. A long line of chic automobiles can add mystique and flair to your driveway. The 1948 Mark V mixes familiar WWII-era design with an innovative streamlined exterior. The E-Type of the 1960s was specifically designed with American buyers in mind. The sports car features provocative construction that is nothing short of exceptional. The renowned motorist Enzo Ferrari called the Jaguar E-Type “the most beautiful car ever made.”

Add a dose of extraordinary to your driveway. A new or classic Jaguar vehicle can represent your unmatched dedication to class. Explore new and pre-owned Jaguars with a call to the Diablo Motors dealership at (877) 884-0276. \

The Advantages of Using an Automotive Brokerage Service to Purchase Your Dream Car

Getting a great deal on a new vehicle can be as easy as a single phone call. Learn the auto broker basics to explore a new car buying experience.

• Primary Services: Employing an automotive broker is analogous to hiring a stock broker or a travel agent. The aid of a professional can help clients get great deals on large, important purchases. An automotive broker provides the same service to prospective car buyers. Brokers use their experience with the dealership industry to secure the lowest price possible. Detailed instructions from clients allow brokers to choose under-budget options that customers will adore. This service comes at a fee but the savings that come with service easily cover the cost.
  
  
• Auto Broker Benefits: Utilizing a broker has a bevy of advantages beyond reduced vehicle costs. Brokers operate through a network of trusted dealers and automotive sources. This allows brokers to search countless local and non-local inventories for a vehicle that suits client needs. Many customers would prefer to have an advocate negotiate for them. This prevents customers from feeling pressured by dealership staff or inconvenienced by multiple trips. Auto brokers aren’t paid by commission. This ensures that the customer’s best interest remains their top priority. Brokers also help customers circumvent the hassle of title and financing paperwork.
  
  
• Choose a Broker: A few quick steps can help clients guarantee the legitimacy of a prospective automotive brokerage service. Make sure that the broker carries the proper certification to sell cars in your state. Inquire about the background of your broker. Many brokerage employees benefit from professional experience as a former car dealer. Secure a flat-rate fee to avoid extra charges once your vehicle is located. Making use of word-of-mouth and Internet resources will also help you field potential brokers.

The brokers at Diablo Motors are committed to finding the best fit for their customers. Let us leverage our dealership experience for your car buying benefit. Learn more by visiting our website or call (877) 884-0276 for additional information.
