STATEMENT ON PROTON PERDANA V6 SHAH ALAM, 23 July 2008 - In light of recent reports on the maintenance cost of the Perdana, PROTON seeks to clarify that the maintenance cost and efficiency of the model is reasonable and moderate, based on its records.While the cost of replacing the gearbox may be costly, such an occurrence can be avoided by sending the vehicle for recommended regular and scheduled services at authorized service centres and fitted with original parts. Each periodical service plus oil filter would generally cost around RM200, excluding other spare parts.Cars in general will perform up to expectations and be less susceptible to problems if they are properly cared for and handled with good driving habits. For Perdana V6, frequency of service is recommended at 5,000 km intervals or after 3 months of usage, whichever comes first. With reference to one of the cars which was purchased in May 2004 by the Terengganu State government, which claimed to have spent more than RM100,000 on its repair and maintenance, our record shows that there has not been any warranty claims made by them since October 2004 on that particular vehicle.PROTON is seriously looking into this matter and will be contacting the Terengganu State government to find out details of the service history records on the affected cars in order for PROTON to provide necessary assistance on this matter.Issued by Proton Group Corporate Communications Dept.
