Nissan Ireland reckons that Irish buyers are getting really switched on to hybrids - witness the Qashqai e-Power's ascent up the sales charts - and so for the upcoming 241 registration period that begins in January, it's offering Irish buyers something unique - a 2-4-1 offer that gets you a free new car.
Buy a 241, get a 251
Well, sort of. If you buy a 241-registration Nissan hybrid (so that's a Juke, or a Qashqai or X-Trail e-Power), then Nissan will upgrade you, gratis, to a 251 model in July of next year.
Four-year warranty
According to a Nissan spokesperson: "The unique deal has caught the attention of car buyers all over Ireland not only because it provides them with an opportunity to buy two new cars for the price of one, but also because of the many benefits that come with that. Buyers get to enjoy an extended four-year Nissan manufacturer's warranty, four years RAC membership and a reduction in maintenance costs as it is likely to be two years before they have to pay for a car service. Their car will also be younger and more valuable when they go to change it in the future."
Price cut for the Leaf
The offer is open to anyone who buys a 241-plate Nissan hybrid using either PCP or Hire Purchase finance (no cash deals, lads...) and Nissan Ireland also reckons that customers will benefit "from having a younger and more valuable car that leaves them with more equity in their car at the end of the finance term."
What if you don't want to take up the 2-4-1 offer? Well that's OK too, you can choose from some other Nissan special offers. There's a €5,000 price drop and 0 per cent finance on the Nissan Leaf EV, or you can get a low 3.99 per cent finance rate on the rest of the lineup.
