When deciding which optional extras to tick, bear in mind that the best deal new Proton isn't necessarily the model with lots of extras (despite what many new Proton dealers try to tell you). The fact is that most new Protons lose money faster on the optional extras than on the Proton itself - so the extras you choose (even at the new Proton best price) doesn't necessarily offer the best value. When it comes to ex-demo Protons or ready-built showroom new Protons for sale at a main dealer, the specification has already been fixed and cannot be changed; so if you need a new Proton from stock, be spec-flexible. New Proton dealers tend to pre order stock they can sell easily - typically Silver, Grey or Black Protons with few or no options at all. The best discount new Protons are normally specified like that - ie popular colours with few options. Car finance is another consideration when choosing to pay extra for optional equipment. If you buy a new Proton on the best PCP deal or Proton leasing / contract hire package you can find, the options may ruin your saving; this is because handing the Proton back at the end loses the FULL value of the extra equipment you paid for. To avoid this potential loss, you have three possibilities: 1) select a higher Proton trim level ie Sport over an S; 2) don't order expensive options; 3) buy your new Proton on HP or with a personal loan (where you always own the Proton and the optional extras).
