Q
What is the resale value of Proton X50?
The resale value of the Proton X50 is influenced by various factors. Generally, for a used car with a 3 - year age, the resale price is approximately between 60% and 75% of the original price, specifically depending on the vehicle's condition, mileage, market demand, and vehicle equipment. For instance, the 2020 - 2021 X50 Standard version (with a new - car price of around RM 80,000) currently has a second - hand market price of about RM 48,000 to RM 60,000. The high - end Flagship version has a relatively higher depreciation resistance. After 3 years, it can still be worth around RM 65,000.
The key factors affecting the resale price include maintenance records (a complete Proton SC maintenance history is more popular), the vehicle's body condition (whether it has been in an accident or had repainting), market demand (the X50 is quite popular in the B - class SUV market), and new - car promotions (if Proton offers significant discounts, it may affect the second - hand price). To get the most accurate valuation, it is recommended to compare recent transaction prices on second - hand car platforms such as Carlist and Mudah.my, or have the vehicle appraised through Proton's authorized second - hand car department, Proton Edar Certified Pre - Owned.
In addition, the newer 2023 - 2024 X50 models, with upgraded equipment (such as the ADAS system), may have better depreciation resistance in the future.
