Nissan Navara D40
Today’s announcement arrives on the back of another record month of local new car sales for the Japanese car maker. Nissan delivered 6,224 new cars in September, five per cent higher than the same time last year. In fact, it’s the largest September new car sales figure the company has ever recorded in Australia as a full importer. This result adds thrust to an impressive retail expansion plan that has seen its new vehicle sales balloon an astonishing 16 per cent year-to-date in a strong local car market that’s grown 9 per cent from January to August.
Despite out-pacing the local new car market at almost twice the rate, the company is taking greater strides to cement its continued growth. William F. Peffer, Nissan Australia’s Managing Director and CEO, says this latest tactic is the next piece in Nissan’s local business strategy.
“Nissan’s Australian sales performance has been strong this year,” he said. “Accelerating our reach into the Australian new car market means delivering what customers want so we’re adding some spice to three of our best-known models.”
Mr. Peffer said Nissan’s most recent finance offerings have hit the mark with Australian new car buyers.
“The response from our customers to our previous finance initiatives has been overwhelmingly positive so we’ve decided to make this latest program even more generous. We’re certain its appeal will be strong.”
Peffer’s team has made this new finance program simple and clear. Calculating the monthly repayments on an eligible zero per cent comparison rate model is straightforward. Eligible private buyers simply need to divide the driveaway price of the eligible Nissan X-TRAIL or Navara D40 they wish to buy and divide it by 36; or up to 48 or 60 with a new Nissan Micra.
“This is not an employee price offer; there’s no smoke and no mirrors. It’s simple, transparent and compelling: no deposit, no interest and no catches,” Peffer said.
“And we’re not confining this special offer to niche products in our range; we’re applying it to three of our core models, including our entry-price car, the Nissan Micra.”
A cornerstone of this special offer is Nissan Australia’s own finance company, Nissan Financial Services Australia Pty Ltd. Having a captive finance arm to Nissan’s local operations has given Peffer and his team the flexibility to quickly announce generous and successful finance products that have contributed to the brand’s ongoing sales success this year.
Adding fuel to Nissan’s local growth prospects is a series of forthcoming new model releases. The company will introduce more than a dozen new and updated models to its Australian new vehicle catalogue over the coming 18 months, adding weight to what has so far been a number of sales records.
