THERE IS NO BETTER TIME THAN NOW!! TO BUY A PROTON!

Should we wait for the new year for a new car with a new manufacturer year printed on its excise and vehicle registration card? or should we buy a car now and lost 1 year of depreciation value is amongst those dilemma faced by car buyer every year as the year coming to an end. Contrary to popular belief that many buyer would wait for the new year, this last quarter is actually the best period to buy!! Why? because of these three factor, year-end sale is an opportunity not to be missed.

1. Because car manufacturers/distributors want to secure their market share and the automotive Total Industry Volume (TIV) only records vehicle registered ending 31 December.

2. Because vehicle manufacturer/distributor would not want to carry forward vehicle with excise bearing a year old car because of factor no 3 below.

3. Because of the myth that car buyer would wait for the new year to avoid unnecessary depreciation value. In reality, the depreciation value is subjective and actually dependent on the financial credibility of the person buying the car. If his financial credibility is strong, the said car can fetch a higher margin of finance and vice-versa if the financial track record is not strong. This is what determines the value of the car (used car). Of course, it is also subjected to overall supply and demand but in a nutshell, new car buyer would usually hang on to a new car for at least five years before replacing the car (due to the longer period of finance). Majority would look for the best bargain now and is less concern with the value 5 years from today and the best bargain for the year is towards the year end!!... which is NOW!

So, what does PROTON has to offer coming to this calender year end? Yes!!! Kick @ss price!! Only for limited period and limited stocks. All discounts below is applicable for all registration up to NOVEMBER irrespective of booking dates.

BUNG MOKTAR WAS NAIVE, INSENSITIVE AND LACK OF UNDERSTANDING OF THE AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRY: PEDA

PRESS RELEASE

Kuala Lumpur, “The dealers fraternity are disappointed with the remark made by BackBencher’s Club Deputy Chairman Datuk Bung Moktar Radin calling for Proton to be wound up for embarrassing the nation by producing a rebadged Mitsubishi Lanser as Proton Inspira”, said Armin Baniaz Pahamin, President PROTON EDAR DEALERS ASSOCIATION MALAYSIA.

The remark made by Bung Moktar was naïve and insensitive without a clear understanding on the automotive industry especially Proton. The introduction of Proton Inspira  is an addition into the current Proton stable of cars. The Proton Inspira created a new market for Proton to penetrate, a market that is currently being dominated by the Korean and other Japanese makes.

PROTON INSPIRA UNVEILED

14 October 2010. Dato' Syed Zainal Abidin Syed Tahir today unveiled the new Waja replacement model code-named P3-90A. The soft-launching of the P3-90A was held at the Crystal Showroom, Proton Edar Centre of Excellent, USJ Subang Jaya. I arrived late having had to attend a dialogue with the Ministry of Domestic Trace Co-operatives and Consumerism pertaining to the HP-Act amendments. The meeting was chaired by Dato' Daud Tahir, The Deputy Secretary General (Domestic Trade) and attended by the members of the Malaysia Automotive Association headed by Dato Aishah Ahmad. The dialogue had cleared many confusions in the interpretation of the amendments but this is a story for another occasion.

After a short speech, Dato Syed Zainal revealed the name of the new Proton as PROTON INSPIRA and awarded the 'name-the-new-proton' contest winner with a big huge cheque.. size. The winner brought back RM10,000.

PROTON INSPIRA, a collaborative effort between Proton and Mitsubishi will be retailing from RM79,880 for a 1.8 manual, will penetrate a new market segment that is currently being dominated by Toyota and Honda.
