Any recommendations of Proton sales office in Penang to get persona from?

Best deal / discounts... Also, if got the SA contact even better.

Thanks

u can try Henry from EON (Macalister/Anson Road junction). so far 4th car from him.

Was recommended to approach Eric instead of Henry from a friend. But it seems that they dont have any "special" offers. Another ProtonEdar outlet offered me additional Rm300 discount on top of the usual RM500 discount by Proton (for Persona only)

Hey guys,

Just placed booking for T.Black Persona M-Line.

SA said can get car by next week only.

Hopefully i'll get one without many problems..

Well..

RM500 disc from Proton. plus RM300 from SA. Searched 5 showrooms, only this SA can offer additional disc.

3D2N hotel stay from Proton.

Other small small usual stuffs like tint voucher, carwash voucher, full tank petrol, etc etc...

No choice but to take 2009 car coz in need of it urgently. if wanna take 2010 car, have to wait till end of Feb only can reach.

Any persona owner from Penang here?

Pls recommend a place to do window tint job. Must offer best workmanship. Dont mind paying a little extra though.

*sigh..

My car still haven't arrived. Chased the SA since monday. Keep telling me its already on the trailer from KL, but dunno why still haven't arrive in Pg. Mayb the driver sesat d..

Hope to get it by Xmas....

Finally, my car is ready to be collected. Self register at JPJ this afternoon.

Look out for it :
Black Persona M-Line
PJL 3X3X

Hahah!

Just got my car for 3 days and i've already noticed some problems.

1. Rear left brakes have "tick tick tick" sound when brake is applied. (M-line = drum brakes). Very annoying.

2. Driver seatbelt light on the dashboard console not working. Doesnt light up when the seatbelt is not fasten.

Anyone faced these two problems, mind to share how to solve (other than bring back to the infamous Proton SC)?

Thanks

1. I shall be bringing this matter back to my SA after work today.. disappointed... If its caused by the brake pads, i dont mind changing to 3rd party ones.. but its its the braking systems' fault, i have no idea how to solve it then...

2. If its not included for our car, why would they wanna reserve an indicator on the meter panel!@!?? And its not very expensive jus to include the sensor in the seatbelt system... proton...*sigh*... proton. If its confirmed then i wont bother to bug my SA regarding this.

As mentioned by other owners previously, SKIP the service at Proton SC and find a decent workshop nearby.

Major service are usually priced higher due to change of parts rather than labour (which proton charges exceptionally high).

Personally, i'll only be visiting the SC when using the 3 free service vouchers. After that, byebye SC.

Really?

Regarding maintenance record, if sell to second car dealer or trade-in, there isn't any difference, from my recent experience.

But void warranty, I have no idea. Will consult my SA before deciding then.

But does it eliminates the brake "ticking" sound (with regards to the rear drum brakes only)?

Sort of like "click" also. First 5 mins of driving still no sound. After that the ticking starts. Went to SA, she said she'll have to send to SC to check. Hopefully its nth serious.

Also, front rims are getting dusty so fast due to disc brake particles/dust. damn.. have to wash again...

I did 2 layer tint for side and rear window. Seems ok to me.. Just a little dark. LOLs. confirm wont pass roadblocks.. It is advisable to tint 2 layers together at the same time rather than one after another (according to the tint shop sifu)

SA told me can get next week only.. *sob sob*

U need to find ur SA coz he/she will get it from Proton and pass it to u. Proton will not send to ur hse..

(according to my SA.. so i have no idea how true is this)

Yes.. everytime brake is applied. Mine is M-line. Rear drum brakes. I'll check out the spring/hook thinggy during the weekend.

2nd layer tint definately very dark. but works well for heat rejection. Less than 3mins A/C turned on when parked under hot sun, can feel cold d..

I also did double layer for side and rear windscreen only. Front is 59% VLT i tink. Using InfraRed Film Premium 1.

But upgrading to full disc/ABS/EBD will certainly take u off the warranty list.

Do consider that before deciding.

Also, what would be the cost of installing these?

Agree..

But anyone would like to share how much Proton SC charging for these installation exactly?

interest rates depends on total loan duration

3.5% for 5 years
3.65% for 7 years
3.75% for 9 years.

I opt for 7 years

Good offer.

when i bought my car, it was fixed for all banks and proton/perodua showrooms.

Updates regarding my rear drum brakes "tick" sound:

SC said they will have to change the whole rear brake system as this is a common problem with Persona(s). (My a**, if this is a common problem, means after changing, the sound will still appear, rite? Didn't wanna argue with them so let them change..)

ETA for brakes to arrive = 1mth

And heck, I haven't even driven it for a month!! Already need to change brakes!

I did ask the SA if i would to change the brakes from other workshops.. and she said, Jangan! Nanti takde warranty cover~!!

*sigh*
