What’s Fueling the Price Increase?

This second consecutive price increase is likely driven by:

  • Renewed demand from buyers who were waiting during the June dip.

  • Dealers replenishing stock before Q3 marketing pushes and promotions.

  • Limited COE quota keeping supply tight while demand grows steadily.

  • Open Category (E) showing strong bidding confidence, often signalling future demand direction for A and B.


Should You Buy or Sell Now?

For Car Buyers:

If you're planning to purchase a car in Category A or B, the current rise may be a signal to act before COE prices push higher. Buyers holding out for a major dip may have already missed the lowest point in June.

If you're looking at commercial vehicles (CAT C), the rise is still moderate, but timing your purchase soon could help avoid steeper prices in upcoming rounds.

For Car Sellers:

This is an ideal time to sell. With demand rising and COE prices climbing steadily, you’re more likely to get better offers from buyers who want to secure a deal before prices go even higher.

Want to get the highest offer? Consider car consignment or auction options that expose your car to more serious buyers.


What to Expect in the Next Bidding?

If the current momentum holds, we could see:

  • Category A and B inching even higher, especially if bidding volume increases.

  • Category E possibly breaking past $119K, depending on market sentiment.

  • CAT C stabilising, but still sensitive to fluctuations from business fleet activity.

It’s important to note that COE trends often build over 3 to 4 bidding rounds, so the current rise may continue for another round before any major correction.


Tips to Stay Updated & Predict COE Trends

  1. Track COE results every 1st and 2nd bidding of the month.

  2. Compare Category E closely — it often hints at Category A and B movement.

  3. Use a COE forecast tool or subscribe to alerts for bidding windows.

  4. Get your car valuation done early to prepare for fast sale or trade-in.

  5. Follow @sgcardeals on Instagram or check sgcardeals.com for weekly updates.


Final Thoughts: What Should You Do?

  • Buyers: Prices are climbing. If you’re ready, locking in now may save you from paying more later.

  • Sellers: This is your moment. High COE prices often mean strong resale demand — maximise it while it lasts.
