Handy Facts: Proton cars:

On July 9, 1985, the first Proton rolled off the assembly line. A year later, Proton had already captured 60% of the Malaysian domestic passenger vehicle market when the Proton Saga was exported to the UK. This car went on to win awards at the prestigious British International Motor Show for three consecutive years.

By 1992, Proton was ready to become a public listed company. The name was changed to Perusahaan Otomobil Nasional Berhad.

Two new models were quickly introduced - the Wira (Persona) in 1993 followed by the very successful Satria in 1994.

The Perdana, together with the Putra Coupe, have continued the successful expansion of the range.

The company is now exporting to 49 countries including Europe, Latin America, the Caribbean, Saudi Arabia, Africa, Australia and the Asia Pacific. It has taken just 14 years for Proton to gain significant international presence.

Built and designed in Malaysia

Proton has always been committed to manufacturing cars locally which are recognised internationally.

The use of automation and robotics in the manufacturing process has contributed to increased cost-efficiency, reliability and quality. Research and Development is considered to be Proton's most important activity, and innovation is fundamental to the company's development.

There are new and used Proton dealers located in Melbourne , Sydney, Adelaide, Brisbane, Perth, Hobart, Canberra (most suburbs) and regional Australia. Most dealers also deal some other make at the same dealer. Few dealers offer a worthwhile Car Insurance for your Proton, however.

Used (private sale or dealers sale) cars

If you buy a used Proton, we strongly recommend car insurance for your Proton too.

Proton Extended Warranty

Proton comes with a factory warranty provided by the manufacturer. After the factory warranty has expired, you need to purchase and extended warranty for your Proton. Things to look out for when buying an extended warranty are:

It is prudent to ensure you get the lowest price for your new Proton, and the best place in not from your local Proton dealer - you get the lowest prices in Melbourne, Sydney, Adelaide, Brisbane, Perth, Hobart, Canberra and regional Australia by avoiding dealers and using A1 Car Broker (i.e. a motor broker) for Proton model years 2010 and 2011. Lowest price guaranteed! You will save thousands compared to what most people pay at the dealers in the suburbs. You will also save even more if you have a trade in! Remember there's no second chance when you buy your new car!

I hope you found this Handy Facts of use! We may add a price list to this list too, but price lists are only used as an initial guide to the price of the new Proton since even your local Proton dealers in suburbs around Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, Brisbane, Perth, Hobart, Canberra or regional Australia will be able to beat the list price on any new Proton. Good for budgeting purposes, though. Check our Handy Facts on other makes too!

And remember we deal with fleet sales too! We cater for any option and accessory, including such things as a sun roof, window tinting, towbar, and many other things (same as your dealers). Whether you're in the eastern, western, northern or southern suburbs, there's sure to be dealers ready to take advantage. Also note that we can do Car Insurance for Proton
