Proton's car exchange programme may have ended on the 6th of November, 2009 but it is only today that Perodua's programme ends. For people who have intended to take up this programme which offers RM5000 in cash voucher by trading in a car, it is too bad if they missed the boat because apparently, these programmes will not be extended because the funds have dried.
From what I read, for every car that qualifies for the RM5000 rebate upon purchase of a new Proton or Perodua car, the Government forks out RM3500 while the respective national car maker pays RM1500.
Some people have wondered if this was a good deal. Well, of course it was good if the car that is being traded is a car worth less than RM5000. Also, interested car buyers will not have the choice to buy any car besides a national car. Well, I'm not saying that they aren't good but that limits our choices.
Anyway, a few of my friends participated in this exchange programme and they are quite happy with it. Perhaps there will be yet another round next year to stimulate the economy and automotive industry?
