Proton Putra....Rm68,+++

[acbc]

Start a recycling campaign... recycle old stocks of half-baked Proton cars left to rot outside the factory into SE and sell at higher price. Covers the recycling costs too... hehehe, :P

i dont believe proton re-produce the Putra again. i mean, it may be a leftover from old stocks. in terms of productivity versus economical. dont make sense they only wanna produce 70 units of this model.

what's next? re-produce Juara after 5 years? or perhaps the re-invention of Saga 1991?

just my humble opinion.

agree...dun think they re-producing putra, this is 1 of their marketing strategy. If they re-produced it... how come theres no MoMo thing inside... still using old sport rim...no changes at all.. err 1 thing I notice la...small Proton logo printed on the wind screen glass :D :D

ummmm... anyone have a pic of an engine bay with siemens ecu and another one with mitsu ecu? just know that the mitsu ecu is better(performance) that the siemens... but have no idea how they look like and also where they are... :P

 

[BudakSiol!]

[evo3]

old stock la.....put in a few new items becuase limited edition or special edition...if dump in 4G93T into Satria, Aeroback or wira..that wat i call SPECIAL EDITION....

 

[AXXeLL]

After looking back at old '01 price lists, seems the new Putra is 2k more expensive than before. Last time, it was 66.4k, now it's 68.4k. Other cars, like the SGTi or Waja 1.6 remained the same or got cheaper.

So...we can summarize that the '04 Putra;

1) Has no ABS (this I was told by the salesman)
2) No MOMO steering
3) Costs 2k more than before!

WTF??? Another Proton scam! And to think I almost dropped the downpayment

 

[amad108..]

how come become like this.. the spec is downgrade then before n the price is increase... this is not doing business lah.. other car producer always keeping with new technologies, but for proton benefit is the most important...

 

[rockfire82]

it might be those old stocks.. ehehehe

 

[Zeroed]

No ABS again?

But right... the engine super clean la... syok wei... :unsure:

 

[k-boy]

hmm ..i guess its not worth to get it la....its an old stock with no recaro,mo and abs.....and the price is still high la....

 

[Shanashi]

bloody too much man......70 units LEFT so take and sell call limited edition lah?.......hisap lah oi..... <_<

 

[EG8]

Proton mah... expect the unexpected... later full bodykit JUARA oso can be limihted edihtion ehehehehe

 

[BlackSamurai]

is that a 2001 Putra in showroom photo or is it the Putra 2004?

If it's the Putra 2004, then 1 thing doesn't make sense in the photo, friend, just take a look at the Proton Logo at front and the steering, it's old logo !!

 

[ZephyRed]

ah crapz.. proton and their leftovers........ <_<

Sorry to interfere..

I heard from my brother in-law who is working in proton said that proton is trying to clear all the inventory for putra parts (including the chasis)..Their auditor highlight this matter (uncleared parts) to their management..The unit is of course limited because it's only available few units only..If you can see now there is no publication in media and till now they only launched Satria R3 with specs almost like the GTi..and Waja 1.6 with new features like dual SRS airbags..This is because they stopped waja 1.8 cause no demand (I think renault will sue them) and installed certain parts to 1.6 (same chasis)..

He also said waja 1.6 egine is imported directly from mitsu japan starting this year and not like before which they assembled engine parts in proton.

For those who bought waja 1.8 just beware always hit the flood or pool of water on road because one their 2 ecu in under their engine and water might go into their ecu..

For those who bought Wira SE just beware because some of the engine block are not well composed and might cause engine pecah..Already happened in Johore (2 incidents)and proton has to replaced it with new engine and same stamping to avoig being sued.

Hope you guys aware about this.. :ph34r:

 

[ronaldlaw]

IS mean old proton better then new proton....hahaa :D :D

 

[fww]

the 2k more expensive is because of the cost of keeping it in the warehouse......inventory cost......

and you can ask the salesman to check the manufacture date for you....
if it is done in year 2000.....hahaha...then you can use one more year......and if you got into any accident after that......get all old parts liao lorr.........

so always buy new car.....i mean just manufactured car....
