June 2025 1st Bidding Sees Major Drop — What’s Next?

Singapore’s latest COE results (June 2025 1st bidding) are out, and the numbers show a significant dip across nearly all categories compared to the previous round. Whether you’re planning to buy, sell, or upgrade your car, this drop could be your opportunity — or a signal to wait. Let’s dive into the details.



COE Price Comparison: May 2nd vs June 1st 2025

The largest drop was seen in Category A, falling by over $5,500. Category E, often a predictor for future movement, also slid significantly.


What Does This Mean for Buyers & Sellers?

For Car Buyers:

This drop may be your chance to re-enter the market, especially if you’ve been holding out due to high premiums. CAT A cars are now below the $100K mark again — a psychological win for many.

If this trend continues, we may be seeing a cooling phase, possibly due to:

  • Anticipation of upcoming car launches and tech upgrades.

  • Economic sentiment and global uncertainty.

Tip: Get a pre-approval on your loan and be ready to lock in the next bidding — it may bounce back.


For Car Sellers:

If you’re thinking of selling, don’t panic yet. COE prices are still relatively high historically. But with this consistent decline over two rounds, some potential buyers may try to wait it out, expecting lower prices.

To stand out, consider:

  • Free car valuation and consignment services.

  • Auctioning your car for higher bids.

  • Bundling insurance or rebates to attract serious buyers.


What to Expect in the Next COE Bidding?

  • With two consecutive drops, there’s a chance we’ll see stabilisation or a slight rebound, especially in CAT B and CAT E.

  • Demand may pick up in late June as dealers prepare for Q3 sales push.

  • Some car owners with expiring COEs might rush back into the market before the 10-year mark penalty.

Stay sharp — the COE market moves fast and is heavily influenced by supply, seasonal demand, and buyer behaviour.


Tips to Stay Updated & Predict the Trend

  1. Follow SGCARDEALS' COE updates on Instagram and blog.

  2. Use historical charts to spot price ceilings and dips.

  3. Watch Category E for early signals on CAT A and B.

  4. Don’t rely solely on COE — monitor new car model releases and promotions.


Final Thoughts: Should You Buy or Sell Now?

  • Buyers: It’s a good time to shop, especially for smaller cars. But act fast — prices may rebound in the next round.

  • Sellers: Consider making your move soon before the market shifts further. Price competitively and offer added value.
