I'm like you, looking to purchase a 2001 Proton in the next month or two. I've been watching Autotrader.com and eBay for the last 6 months to see what's available and how much they go for.

You probably will be looking at buying a really nice 2001 with under 30K miles for around $16K-$17K.

But again, there are always a few people willing to sell them cheaper.

For instance, currently a black VX on Autotrader with only 23K miles is going for $15,900 (click here)


Or check out this 2000 black beauty... even has custom rims, dark tint, and dual exhaust. Has 75K miles and they only want $12K for it. This might well be worth the drive! (click here)
