With a monthly income of RM2,800, is it possible to buy a Proton X50? Let’s take a look at the Proton X50’s monthly loan payment and the cost of each factory return.
A video recently went viral on the Internet in which a car saleswoman claimed that with a monthly wage of RM2,800, you could buy a Proton X50. This video sparked a lot of debate.
Some netizens disagreed with the vehicle saleswoman’s point of view, claiming that buying a Proton X50 for RM79,200 on a monthly income of RM2,800 is insane.
Even if you make RM6,000 per month, according to some netizens, you might not be able to afford a Proton X50.
In Peninsular Malaysia, the Proton X50 1.5T Standard costs RM79,200, whereas in East Malaysia, it costs RM81,200. In West Malaysia, the 1.5T Executive costs RM84,800, while in East Malaysia, it costs RM86,800. In West Malaysia, the 1.5T Premium costs RM93,200, while in East Malaysia, it costs RM95,200. In West Malaysia, the 1.5 TGDI Flagship costs RM103,300, while in East Malaysia, it costs RM105,300.
Using the cheapest Proton X50 1.5T Standard as an example, the loan will cost approximately RM819 per month for a period of 9 years. If you want to buy the highest-spec Flagship car, you’ll have to pay up to RM1,070 every month for the next 9 years.
In terms of the maintenance price, the owner must return to the factory for maintenance after 1,000 kilometres or the first month, according to Proton’s official website. The oil and oil filter are included in the maintenance price of RM216.63.
