Proton Holdings Bhd has confirmed that its car-scrapping programme -- Proton Xchange Programme -- has been discontinued as the funding has been fully used up.
In a statement here Wednesday, Proton said only applications that reached its regional offices on or before Oct 31 would be processed for the rebate vouchers.
The national car manufacturer said it had received a total of 25,862 applications from March 10 to Oct 31, exhausting the funds provided by the government's economic stimulus plan even before the given year-end period.
"The programme, announced in March this year, was to run until Dec 31, 2009 or until the funds have been fully used up," it said.
Proton said it received a total of 7,539 applications from Nov 1-6 when it already stop the programme realising that the funding given has all been used up.
It said, however, the company has come up with a special incentive scheme for the said 7,539 applicants.
"These customers are advised to contact the same outlets they have been dealing with to make further arrangements, to enable them to enjoy the incentive scheme.
Proton said customers did not have to surrender their old cars in order to enjoy the special scheme but it would provide the necessary assistance in making arrangements with second-hand car dealers.
"While this scheme is applicable to the purchases of any Proton cars, the cars must be registered by the Jan 31, 2010," it said.
