Goodbye Scalpers: Nissan PH Is Raffling Off Slots To Buy A Nissan Z


Realizing the limited stock of Nissan Z sportscars arriving to the Philippine market, Nissan Philippines has made the prudent decision to raffle off allocation in the spirit of fairness (and to weaken the clout of potential scalpers).

You can read the full 21-point reservation mechanics below, but in gist, only one reservation for each AT and MT will be allowed per customer. NPI will disregard/remove multiple reservations that appear in their system.

Customers are then required to submit a P 50,000 reservation fee to an authorized Nissan Z dealer (see list below). Payments done in excess of the P 50,000 will not act as assurance that the customer will be selected during raffle draws.

Once the Nissan dealer has confirmed the receipt of the reservation fee, the customer will be entered into a raffle draw until January 15, 2024. A generated unique code will serve as proof of that.

Two days prior to a set raffle date (happening second Thursday of every month), the available colors (both AT and MT) will be posted on Nissan Philippines’ official website. Nissan Philippines will only draw the number of customers based on the number of units available plus two alternate slots.

If a customer isn’t selected, his name is automatically returned to the pool for the next month’s raffle draw. The same goes to people whose preferred Nissan Z color isn’t available for the month.

Take note that while the Nissan Z is priced at P 3,888,000, Nissan Philippines reserves the right to change the purchase price of the vehicle.

The first Nissan Z raffle will happen on October 12.

PROMOTION MECHANICS
  1. The Reservation Period will start on 03 October 2023 and will end on 15 January 2024.
  2. Interested customers may go to a participating dealer to register one (1) unique name and customer details to be encoded by the Dealer Nissan Marketing Professional (NMP) in the Nissan YANA DMS system.
    • Only one (1) unique reservation for each AT and MT shall be allowed per unique customer name and details. NPI reserves the right to disregard/remove multiple reservations using a combination of customer names and customer details which are already encoded in the System.
    • In the event that a customer name appears in multiple reservations (e.g. registered under different dealers, email address, phone number, etc.), NPI will only consider one (1) entry for purposes of the raffle.
    • To accommodate the customer’s preference on transmission type of All- New Nissan Z, customer must include their preferred unit transmission (AT or MT) in the Reservation Form. This information will be used by NPI to identify which raffle the customer will be included.
    • If the customer would like to avail both AT and MT, he/ she must submit separate Reservation Form, one for AT and one for MT.
    • Incomplete details in the Reservation Form including failure to indicate preferred transmission shall not be treated as complete reservation and shall not be eligible for the raffle draw.
  3. To initiate the reservation process, the customer must complete the needed information in the reservation form and sign. Then, the customer must submit the completed reservation form through any of the participating Dealers (hard copies or through any of the official Dealer Communication channels).
  4. To complete the reservation, the reserving Customer is required to pay the amount of P 50,000 as reservation fee within the Reservation Period only through the official payment channels of the selected participating dealer who will issue an acknowledgment receipt as proof of the payment.
    • The customer may, at his option, pay more than P 50,000.00 as reservation fee but such additional payment is not an assurance that the Customer will be selected during the raffle draws or increase the customer’s chances of being selected.
    • The Reservation Fee shall be deductible to the SRP at the time the customer completes his/her purchase of the All-New Nissan Z.
    • Failure of the Customer to deposit the Reservation Fee within the Reservation Period shall not complete the reservation process.
    • Customers are advised to keep proof of the Reservation Fee. Proof of the payment of the Reservation Fee may be requested to be shown in case the Customer’s reservation is drawn during the raffle.
  5. The Reservation Fee is refundable in the event of the following:
    • Customer decides to withdraw from the raffle; or
    • Customer remains unserved and can no longer wait for the unit to be served and decides to withdraw from the raffle.
  6. The Reservation Fee shall be refunded to the customer within three to five (3 to 5) working days upon receipt by the participating dealer of a written request for refund by the customer.

  12. Customers who have received a unique code will be eligible for the monthly draw. However, customers who have made a reservation within two (2) days prior to the draw will not be included in the current month's draw. Instead, they will be automatically entered into the next scheduled raffle draw.
  13. To participate in the raffle, customers are required to submit completed reservation forms and pay the reservation fee to participating dealers until 15 January 2024.

    1. Lol, you're gonna buy a car and register it under a third party's name? According to Rule 16, third bullet point, reservations are non-transferable.
