Try not to go for uncertained vehicles which will bring you problems later on. Why not buy new? Nasim's after-sales are notoriously known to be poor, and in the even of a breakdown and parts need to be replaced, it's not only you are paying more for these replacement parts but the possibility that you may need to wait for several weeks for the parts to be available. Few friends who owned Peugeot don't have much good words for it when it comes to reliability and maintenance. When it comes to driving, it can be good. But when problem crops up after warranty period, then you will feel it. Especially if warranty period is over.
The Preve is quite a solid car with decent handling. Only the Turbo engine is not very refined and loud but guess that is what to expect for a vehicle that's below RM70k. Brand new you have peace of mind.
And I believe Proton's after-sales service is anytime better than Peugeot Nasim's too.

Do you own Volkswagen in the first place? Or you just took that as your username to bash conti with false problems, etc in which you are personally with crappy N-brand.
Based on your comment, it shows that you are the type that stick to Japanese make and won't go conti at all. If that is the case, aren't you supposed to avoid P1 as well when they no longer get MMC engines especially Preve/Suprima? It's not even Japanese made.
Warranty or not, you still fork out own money for the service. Your N-brand Teana/Sylphy, the fragile CVT gearbox maintenance, you still have to pay with own money while under warranty. So what crap are you talking about here? As for the few unlucky but lucky cases for some Sylphy owners that had the CVT gearbox steel belt dislocated a bit, lucky for them it happened while under 3 years warranty, any guarantee for them after the 3 years? How do you explained the X-Trail, Sentra N16 and Cefiro engine blown cases due to excessive overheating when no more warranty? Aren't they paying with own money too?
Test driven the latest Proton's and personally, I believe Proton has really gone a long way and the cars themselves are fundamentally good. If a friend asked me the same question between a 2nd hand Pug308 or a Preve and his criteria is reliability and getting from Point A to Point B with the least amount of hassle, I will without a doubt say get the Proton. If he wanted the Pug308, I will say go with his own choice and heart but I will definitely share with him all of the issues that past owners have faced, warn him of the possibility of having to constantly send the car in to the Service Center especially if his work schedule isn't exactly flexible.
