Is trading in car as downpayment applicable to buy new from dealership? How does it work?

Thanks.
Yeah, saw the listing for those cars.
How about Axia? And in terms of reliablity & cost of ownership vs the Protons?

Axia has been my daily for 10year+

Reliability wise is pretty good for me, never had a broke down experience, my biggest cost ever was AirCond compressor and cooling coil replacement at RM1k+

Other than that not much other big cost down the road. Few years back did engine and fueling system cleaning with LiquiMoly then engine response is noticeably restored close to younger age.

However if you are getting a much older Axia/Bezza, remember to change transmission oil and also transmission oil filter. One time thought my gearbox was done for due to not shifting gear, an oil + filter change solved the problem. These little P2 gearboxes could cost RM5k or more for overhaul/repair.

Plenty of X50s on sale after owners trade in for new 4-cyl engine. If you OK with Proton after sales. Eg.
