One-year extended warranty for pre-owned Proton vehicles

KUALA LUMPUR: The national car maker, Proton is offering a one-year extended warranty for all its certified pre-owned cars. This new initiative by the automaker will provide used car buyers with the much-required additional peace of mind.

So, if you are out there to buy a pre-owned car then visiting a Proton-authorized used car outlet is a must. Why? With immediate effect, all Proton Certified Pre-Owned (PCPO) cars are eligible for the extended warranty.

Called the Proton Certified Pre-Owned Extended Warranty (PCPO-EW) program, the scheme is underwritten by Allianz General Insurance. The warranty provider will repair or replace engine and transmission parts that are found defective under normal use.

Proton’s Deputy Chief Executive Officer, Roslan Abdullah said, “Proton would like to welcome Allianz as our insurance partner in our effort to provide added assurance to our customers. With the extended warranty, owners of PCPO vehicles are protected from unexpected costs due to mechanical failure for engine and transmission parts.”

He further added, “With Proton’s sales volume increase over the past few years, we have seen a similar increase of trade-in or trade-up transactions. Therefore, with customer satisfaction in mind, we want to give assurances to our consumers to ensure ownership of a PCPO vehicle is a satisfactory experience on par with other brands.”

A brief about the PCPO vehicles -

Proton Used Car Management (UCM) unit was established in 2019 and provides operating procedures and training to used car inspectors. Thus ensuring that each Proton pre-owned used car outlet is in line with the brand’s expectations. As of today, Proton has 30 authorized dealers retailing PCPO cars.

All the cars under the PCPO programme are -

• 201-point inspection approved
• Free from any major accident damage
• Covered by a 1-year extended warranty for engine & transmission
• Come with one-time free basic service (after 6 months from the date of purchase)
