Nissan PH Introduces Raffle System For The Z To Prevent Markups And Scalping

Nissan Philippines announces that the 2024 Nissan Z will be available for reservations starting October 3, 2023, at select Nissan dealerships nationwide. However, if there’s one thing we’ve learned during the pandemic-induced new car shortage, scalping and dealer markups have become a prevalent issue. Thankfully, the Japanese automaker has a solution for this.

After listening to public feedback and seeing the overwhelming demand for the new Z, Nissan has put in place a reservation process that is transparent, fair, and in the best interests of customers. In line with this, Nissan has worked to finalize the process and open reservations at an earlier date than was previously announced.

Through the reservation process, the allocation of units will be conducted through a raffle system, where entries made across dealerships nationwide will be unified into a single database. This system is meant to ensure that available units of the 2024 Nissan Z are distributed fairly, allowing customers to have equal chances of purchasing and owning Nissan’s latest performance vehicle.

To be officially included in the raffle, interested customers are required to submit a completed reservation form and pay a refundable P50,000 reservation fee at participating dealers starting October 3, 2023, until January 15, 2024. This fee is deductible to the SRP of the vehicle once a customer completes their purchase.

Separate raffles will be drawn for the automatic transmission and manual transmission based on the availability of variants. For customers who would like to avail of both, they must submit separate reservation forms for each. Only one reservation for each variant will be allowed per customer.

Customers who are chosen during a raffle must confirm their reservations to be able to proceed with their purchase of the 2024 Nissan Z. The reservation is non-transferable and the purchase must be made by the customer under whose name the reservation was made, while initial registration of the vehicle must also be in the name of the reserving customer.

For customers who are not chosen, they will automatically be included in the succeeding draw. Should they decide to withdraw from the raffle, they may request a full refund of their reservation fee.

The first raffle draw will be conducted on October 12, 2023, with a cutoff for entries on October 10, 2023. Customers can check Nissan Philippines’ Facebook page for updates on succeeding draws.

Priced at P3,888,000 for both Premium AT and Premium MT variants, reservations for the new Nissan Z can be placed at the following accredited Nissan dealerships:
