Proton Saga 1992 PROTON Aeroback Hatchback (C2_A, C9_L)

Getting parts for a 1992 Proton Saga in New Zealand or Australasia is a bit like hunting for a rare Pokémon—challenging but definitely doable if you know where to look.

First off, since the 1992 Proton Saga is based on the Mitsubishi Lancer platform from the 80s, many mechanical parts like brake pads, filters, CV joints, and even some suspension bits can be compatible or sourced as generic aftermarket items. So, you're not entirely alone in your quest; some parts cross-brand like trusted fuel-efficient friends.

For second-hand parts, the best place in NZ is probably local dismantlers and yard places like Pick-A-Part. You’ll have to roll up your sleeves with tools and pick the parts yourself because they don’t do the online or phone order magic. Bring along patience and a snack—it’s part treasure hunt, part workout.

There are also online classifieds and forums where fellow Proton Saga enthusiasts might have parts or leads. Sometimes people import from Malaysia, where Proton parts are more common. Some sellers in NZ stock new aftermarket and even genuine parts online, so it’s worth bookmarking sites specializing in Proton parts, though second-hand availability remains more limited.

If you want body parts or something very specific, it might require a bit of international shipping or getting creative with compatible Mitsubishi parts. And a word of wisdom: keep a good sense of humour handy, because when you’re hunting down parts for a 90s Proton, every find feels like winning a small lottery. Just don’t start asking for a Proton Knight edition unless you're ready for an ultra-rare response!

So, to sum up: local NZ wreckers like Pick-A-Part, generic compatible parts from Mitsubishi lines, and some online specialty shops are your best bet. Happy hunting—you’re basically a Proton archeologist now!
