First deal post - Free $100 Mastercard egift card.
Currently in three SA Nissan dealers if you book and take a Nissan Juke for a test drive you receive a $100 Mastercard gift card.
Register via popup $100 test drive link when going on Nissan Juke website or link above. Might be Australia wide, but definitely works in SA as a friend has already done test drive and received egift card.
no, Juke is still for sale. I am not looking to buy a car, just get the egift card :-)
Same but i dont understand how to get the gift card??
The form gives you a code - you write the code down, book a test drive, and then give the code to the dealer to obtain your card.
@USER DC: You've booked the test drive - but now you need to fill in the form for the gift card. If you click the link to the deal above (at least on a PC) you should see a sideways button popup on the left side of the browser that says "$100 Test Drive Offer" - just click that and bob's your uncle. Took me a while to find it too
EDIT: Glad to hear you found it!
They discontinued it in 2020 then few months later brought out an all-new model with a 1.0L 3-cylinder engine with a massive 84 kW of power…
So it’s ugly and weak? Haha
Yep, it's a Joke.
thats a pretty nice 31% performance upgrade from my 0.6L 3 cylinder with 64kW
Other replies say it’s a joke but back in the 80s and 90s there were a few models of cars around that had similar power figures and 3-cylinder engines. Yeah not going to win any drags but for getting around the city they’re just fine. Same with little 100cc scooters, you see lots of them around. Getting from A to B.
The first V8 Commodore back in '78 produced 87kw, so 84kw from a 1l 3 cylinder is pretty impressive.
This must be some kind of juke.
Such an ugly car. But I'll suffer 20mins humiliation to collect the $100.
You think it will be only 20 minutes? You're gonna suffer if you walk in that dealership lol.
Haha how long do you think they will hold me for?
@shegeloaf: They'll go with you, and usually they'll drive at the start, then swap and let you drive once you get to a quieter area with less traffic/smoother roads.
Then on the way back they'll be trying to see how keen you are and if you're potentially serious. Lot's of positive talking/mirroring, answering/manipulative (not maliciously just sales-ey) conversation etc..
It's a bit of a process.
You'll be looking at (the very least) one hour for the whole thing, and that's if you're lucky.
If they're giving away a $100 card I doubt they'll let you take the car out on your own- but you could try I guess.
I feel for the car sales guys who's sales managers will be forcing them to go with all the free loaders lol. What an exhausting nightmare.
@[Deactivated]: Yep. Such a crap experience for the sales guys. No way would I be adding to their woes for a $100 gift card
@[Deactivated]: No not close to correct for this deal. They let my friend take the car on their own.
@eddie eagle: As I said, you could try- they might let you. They'd rather have you drive the car on your own if you insist on going by yourself than have you walk away.
If they're busy and don't have enough salespeople free then they'd probably let you take the car too.
What's funny is that most dealerships for medium price to lower price cars really want to go with the customer, whereas more expensive makes will generally let the customer go on their own.
Pronounced "Cash Cow".
Nice one, got a coupon code for a test drive in WA.

lol. They're saying this website is a fraud.
Pretty big claim. They make it sound like they get to decide what fraud is when it's more to do with the legal system right?
ahhh just missed by few secs … was gona post this … booked in victoria.
Nice one, got a code in Brisbane.
Will definitely have a try the Juke. It looks cute and different.
But a little worry about its height (feel pressure in the car?) and the space
Based purely on the engine I would stay away from this thing. 1L 3c turbo… Woooo… <100kw.
This will feel incredibly slow if you have a couple of people in the car and are going up a slope.
At least you can fit passengers in the back. Try that in a Mustang!!
I have a subie sti. Fits 4 adults comfortably :)
@Chthonic: Don't know why you got negged for that. I can fit three adults and a baby seat without the front passenger needing to keep their knees around their ears in mine.
Don’t act like your interested to us :)
you're*
Good correction. Not sure why you got negged.
i bought it 1 week ago, height is great (get the 19"). space is great too. my friends cla amg back seats are tighter than this to give you a comparison.
Cla amg lol, 4 cylinder
beat me
i came looking for this. ozbargain comments never disappoints.
Do they ask you a ton of questions wasting half your morning only to tell you the test drive is only for 15 minutes so you can't actually test it, like what happens at volkswagen?
Aren't you actually wasting their time if you're not interested in buying the car?
I am interested. I have a 2013 passat and am looking to upgrade soon but need convincing. They basically convinced me on that day that I should shop around, and I will.
You should check out the new Renault Captur. 1.3L turbo petrol with 270Nm torque.
Of course their time is being wasted. What people do for a quick buck 🤷🏻♂️
They never specified a time limit for me at VW however i had two different experiences. One was typical drive you out somewhere then you take over and drive for a bit, they never gave some bs spiel though. The other test drive i wasn't accompanied and could drive solo. What a big difference that makes, i think i had the car for almost 30 mins.
I don't think I'd ever buy a car where they have to accompany me like I'm a child
If they literally pay you to drive the car, maybe consider a different one.
$100 isn't enough to drive such an ugly vehicle.
Form their site:
Style
Catch every eye
I saw a heap of these in Thailand and realised that they seem to fit in there - sounds crazy, but they seem to complement the architecture.
Just as ugly as a Saab and half the price.
They haven’t sold new Saabs here for over a decade and they were a completely different class of car. It’s also obviously a preference thing but I always found most Saabs to be good looking
Great cars and many classes above the Juke.
Great post OP. I have registered in WA. Thanks
Got the code thanks. Can I test drive a different car instead since in the msg they didn't specify?
Receive a $100 e-reward card*
How? Test drive (COVID-19 safe) the Nissan JUKE at your participating dealership
Hmmm it's pretty cyptic but I think they want you to drive a Juke
we would like to reward you with a $100 e-Gift Card when you come in for a test drive at Bl… Nissan. To claim your e-Gift Card, simply present this email or print your voucher and bring it with you to your test drive.
I love the Juke, but if you don't want me saying funny things or making funny faces about your car, then you just give me one!
We love FORD
- David Letterman, The Late Show, Feb 2011
Anyone have one of these? I actually really like the styling (so sue me), but don’t know anyone that has one or even has driven one.
Probably will buy a used TI model if anything.
Engine is a POS. Will probably feel like you have more power in pretty much any other car.
bro we get it, you don't like the engine.lol
He's right though.
Honestly I'd choose walking over being driven in the Duke. Absolutely gutless.
@soaringphoenix: As would I, however I know a lot of people who really don’t care about speed and performance who wouldn’t even notice.
Also, as someone who has driven a lot of distance in a NA diesel hilux (66kw when new, this one probably had 40kw if lucky after doing a 350,000km and weighs 2.6T full loaded) im sure the Duke is adequate for basic transportation and still better than walking :-).
@MarcusJones: Yeah but you have double the torque in your diesel Ute to get you up a hill. Big difference to NA engines with stuff-all torque. You're comparing apples with oranges.
Load up the car with 4 adults perhaps, go for a drive somewhere with maybe a couple of bags. Going to feel like running is faster.
What if you ever want to load the car up / attach a trailer filled with furniture etc? Even putting roof racks on this thing the ~75kg weight is going to make a difference. Seems like an absolutely pointless suv.
@Chthonic: You're absolutely correct. Also go for a drive up hills and sure you'll get up the hill but it will be a struggle when you want to overtake (e.g. highway with a speed limit of 80).
I've had a sit in the new Juke and it's tiny and would struggle to fit four adults comfortably.
I'd pay $100 to not be seen in a Juke.
Claim your reward, send it to me, go for the test drive. I promise I won't look.
They've improved the design from the older Juke but still unattractive.
Is $100 enough to drive and be seen in a Juke? I feel like we need to negotiate better rates.
Haha I think you mean this: https://youtu.be/KHHxBaokvnQ
11.4 seconds to 100km/h for the money you're paying, is a dead set ripoff.
Haha was waiting for someone to bring up the Juke R.
Would Def buy if it came with a VR38
How much pressure do they apply on you to buy after the test drive?
Expect to be hounded after the test drive , the whole point of this is to get your contact details , and then work on you until you buy one .
Expect to be hounded after the test drive
Not if you give them a burner SIM number or accidentally provide an incorrect number.
Yeah, Homer Simpson interjected with a simple "no we shan't" and yoinked the gift card out of the salesman's breast pocket. But this is an eGift card. Maybe set up a fake ringtone and say you need to pick up the kids. And use a second SIM.
Some years ago, we test drove a bunch of different car brands and Nissan dealer was by far the worst for phoning up every week with new offers etc. Only stopped when I said we'd actually bought a car.
How long is a piece of string?
Double half its length
I'm in the business , by all means claim the free money ( those poor dealership staff ) , but don't buy one . It will cost you much more than $100 , when you trade it in and find out how much it's depreciated.
Manufacturers only use these desperation tactics when they have a severe issue trying to sell a particular model. You'll never see Toyota do this on a Hi Lux for example.
making life harder for the competition
Hey,
I called up the local nissan dealer and he immediately asked me if this was in relation to the $100 gift card. I told him not really and I am looking for a car anyway.
He then proceeded to give me a time slot 15 minutes prior to closing, because he suspected I guess.
How likely is it that he will not give me a vehicle to test drive and tell me to PISS off?!
Any tactics I can use?
Thanks!
I've been involved with these cash for test drive promotions when I worked for a dealership , and all the sales guys HATE them , I can imagine what was said when the sales manager announced the promotion at the morning meeting , it wouldn't have been pretty.
Because they know that $100 voucher promotions NEVER sell anymore cars . It just brings people out of the woodwork who just want free money , a serious buyer won't make a major purchase decision like a new car because he got a $100 voucher. These things are dreamt up by marketing geniuses at head office that have no clue on how to sell a car.
So If he's booked a test drive for you , then he'll take you on the drive . But if it's close to closing time, and you don't buy , and he goes home late to his family because you've messed him around , then expect to be dealing with a very pissed off salesman.
Do you need $100 that bad?
$100 is $100 lol. Will pay for a month and half worth of fuel!
But thanks for your insights!
Will give it a go for a laugh
LOL $100 is not worth the next year or three of constant sales calls and spam at all hours of the day.
Block their number
$100 is not enough for a therapist which you’ll need after driving one.
Burner sim.
If you tell them you’re not interested you’re doing it wrong. Just say you decided against the Juke and put a deposit down for an high yield investment car - aka AMG c63s
Didn't they stop selling these?
checks date to see if it's April 1st
Maybe it was the qashqai?
Nissan really needs to up their game on model names.
