Only a few years ago, most Brits probably hadn't even heard of Black Friday or Cyber Monday. But now, they are two of the biggest days in the UK shopping calendar.

As the nation prepares to hunt for the latest deals on the high-street and online, we’ve decided to step up to the plate by offering a brand new Nissan LEAF to the LOWEST unique bidder.

All you have to do is submit the lowest unique bid and the car is yours – the only question that remains, how low will you go?

The auction will kick off at 8.00am on Friday 24th November and run until 5.00pm on Monday 27th November. You must ensure you have a current full UK licence before bidding. Check back then to enter and make sure you check out the Ts&Cs too.

With more electric cars on the UKs roads than ever before, this eco-friendly mode of transport is becoming more and more viable – especially for those who live in cities. For more information on the electric car revolution, check out our guide here.

"The Winner must be able to pay the full amount of their correct bid via cheque or bankers draft (full details will be supplied to the winning bidder)."

As the winning bidder has to pay the amount they have bid, I'm not sure I'd call it a "Prize" as such. A bargain, probably, but not a prize.

Theoretically, the price will most likely be under £200 right?

The chances of 20,000 people covering every penny from 1p to £200 are pretty low in my opinion.


I wouldn't be surprised if something stupid like £28.39 won.

Anyway... I'm blabbering on I just wanted some opinions.

That is a low number of estimated entries given the nature of the prize.

The lowest unique bid in a previous competition similar to this was only between £1 and £2 if I recall correctly.
