here are the few things that i really want to let you guys to know before buying any car from any proton dealers.
There are two type of dealer which is PBR and Non-PBR.
PBR = pay before registration
normally, those small dealer are those who don't pay for the car and use your loan to pay for the car therefore the production team from proton don't really give a fu*k to them while those bigger dealer they pay the car in cash before the car is registered so they got the priority lane for allocation.
remember, it's not about the size of the shop, it is the solidness of the company. Go for those big company SC or Dealer and deal with them. less excuses unlike me bump into the stupid dealer that they are those that got less model and don't pay first so allocation for them is after the bigger dealer one. Sometimes, when they got allocated the car, no one get the car then the bigger dealer will get a letter from proton and go to those smaller dealer and drive the car back. Power of cash flow in company reflects its services.
Anyway, i heard one of my friend's friend in COE that works as a service admin told me that preve got many problem. Many have went there for LED and Lights replacement.
Be alert too, majority preve buyers actually get showroom unit because he told me those people that go for service and he saw the car and chasis number, straight away know its chasis number is for test drive unit or showroom unit. So BEWARE. There's no way we can check only pray that your SA is trustable.
Under new Bank Negara law 8(402) should your car is yet to be allocated to you and be chasis number registered under your name, you can cancel loan, get back the deposit and YOU DO NOT NEED TO PAY DOWN PAYMENT AT ALL. SA that ask for your Downpayment, please contact bank negara cause they are against the law. RM300k will be charged as penalty fees and RM100k for the SA themselve.
WHY SA want my DP?
so she/he could take ur dp and use your bank loan to pay for the car and you then cannot run away.
What should i do?
Contact your bank, stop the loan immediately and ask for refund. Tell them you havent got the car and the bank straight away know the SA already against the law of the reserved bank of malaysia.
