Should You Buy or Sell Now?

For Sellers: Still a Strong Window

Even with slight dips in some categories:

  • COE prices are still near peak levels

  • Used car values remain high

  • Demand is still healthy

What this means:

  • You can still secure strong selling prices

  • Good time to cash out before any potential cooling

  • Ideal moment to upgrade while market is still favourable

For Buyers: Watch Closely Before Acting

The mixed signals matter:

  • Some categories are pulling back

  • Market may be stabilising after rapid growth

  • Opportunity may arise if prices soften further

Recommended approach:

  • If urgent, proceed but negotiate carefully

  • If flexible, monitor the next bidding for clearer direction

  • Look out for further dips in CAT B and CAT E


What to Expect in the Next COE Bidding?

Based on current signals:

Stabilisation Phase (Most Likely)

Prices may move sideways as the market digests recent highs.

Selective Recovery

Categories like CAT A and CAT C may continue rising due to steady demand.

Possible Short-Term Correction

If buyer resistance increases, some categories could dip further.

Overall outlook: Market remains strong but entering a more balanced phase


Tips to Stay Updated & Predict COE Trends

To stay ahead:

  • Track Category-Specific Movements

Not all categories move the same — identify which ones lead.

  • Watch for Reversal Signals

Consecutive dips after a strong uptrend may signal a turning point.

  • Monitor Buyer Behaviour

Less aggressive bidding = possible cooling market.

  • Follow Multi-Bidding Trends

Avoid reacting to just one result — look at patterns.

  • Get Regular Car Valuation

Stay ready to act when the market presents the right opportunity.
