November 2025 2nd COE Bidding Results – Are Prices Rebounding Again?

The November 2025 2nd COE Bidding results are out, and this round brings a mix of dips and rebounds across categories. After several months of surging premiums, followed by a sharp drop in the first November bidding, the latest numbers reveal that certain categories have risen again — particularly CAT B and CAT E, which are often the most closely watched by private car buyers and sellers.

Key Observations From the Latest COE Movement

1. CAT A Continues Its Slight Downtrend

CAT A fell slightly from $110,002 to $109,000.While the decrease isn’t drastic, it suggests the market is still stabilising after previous highs. Demand from everyday drivers remains steady, but not aggressively competitive.


2. CAT B Makes a Significant Jump

CAT B rose sharply from $115,001 to $129,890, reversing last round’s strong drop.This signals a renewed push from buyers of larger and more premium vehicles — often driven by new model launches, year-end promotions, or pent-up demand.


3. CAT C Remains Stable

Commercial vehicle COE premiums increased marginally from $76,000 to $76,389 — essentially flat.This indicates consistent fleet demand without major fluctuations.


4. CAT E Rebounds Again

CAT E (Open Category) increased from $121,010 to $125,001, hinting at stronger dealer confidence.Dealers may be securing premiums ahead of anticipated demand for higher-end models.


Should You Buy or Sell a Car Now?

For Sellers: Still a Strong Window to Sell

Even though COE dropped in the 1st November bidding, the rebound in CAT B and CAT E shows that the market is not guaranteed to stay low.

This is still an ideal time to sell:

  • Used car prices remain high due to previous COE peaks.

  • Many buyers are shifting from new to used cars for lower depreciation.

  • CAT A remains softer, but demand for used cars is still strong due to affordability.

For Buyers: A Mixed Signal — But Still a Good Opportunity

Some categories rose, some fell — meaning the market is currently unpredictable.However:

CAT A remains very affordable compared to previous peaks

CAT B and E may rise further if this rebound continues

Used cars now offer better value than new ones due to lower depreciation

If you’ve been waiting for:

  • A good depreciation deal

  • Lower upfront cost

  • A stable COE environment

What to Expect in the Next COE Bidding

Here are possible scenarios for the upcoming bidding:

Scenario 1: CAT B and E Continue Rising

If dealer activity remains strong, premiums may continue to trend upward.

Scenario 2: CAT A Stabilises at the Low-$100K Range

CAT A often adjusts slower and may level out unless demand surges unexpectedly.

Scenario 3: CAT C Remains Flat

Commercial vehicle demand is relatively predictable, so no dramatic changes are expected.


Tips to Stay Updated & Predict COE Trends

To stay ahead of COE price movements:
