November 2025 COE Result (1st Bidding): Prices Drop Again – What Should Buyers and Sellers Do Now?

The first COE bidding of November 2025 has just closed, and the results show another round of price drops across almost every category. After months of rising premiums in August and September, followed by a dip in October, November has continued the downward trend.


This raises an important question for Singapore car owners and buyers: Is this the best time to sell your car? Should you secure a new car now while COE is dropping? And what might happen in the next bidding?


Below is a quick look at the recent results:

What Does This Mean?

Across Cat A, B, and E, COE premiums have continued to fall for the second time in a row. After hitting high peaks between August and September, prices have eased significantly.

CAT A & CAT B – Strong Drop

  • CAT A dropped from $128,105 (Oct 1) → $110,002 (Nov 1)

  • CAT B dropped from $141,000 (Oct 1) → $115,001 (Nov 1)

This is one of the most noticeable declines in recent months, making it a surprising and favourable window for buyers.

CAT C – Slight Adjustment

CAT C did not move much, signalling stable demand in the commercial vehicle market.

CAT E – Large Correction

CAT E dropped from $140,009 (Oct 1) → $121,010 (Nov 1).This is significant because Category E traditionally signals how premium car buyers move.


Should You Buy a Car Now?

Yes – this might be one of the best windows to secure your dream car.

With prices dropping twice in a row:

  • Buyers are paying less COE than in the past three months

  • Dealers may push harder on promotions and discounts

  • COE could rebound once demand rises again

✅ If you want to upgrade your family car

✅ If you have been waiting during the price spike

✅ If you are shopping for CAT B and CAT E cars

This is a good opportunity.

Should You Sell Your Car Now?

Even though COE premiums have dropped for two consecutive rounds, the used car market remains strong — especially for newer cars. Many buyers are now shifting focus to pre-owned vehicles due to easing COE and more attractive depreciation rates.

✅ If your car is registered between 2021 and 2024, this is the BEST time to sell.

SGCARDEALS is currently offering special high valuation for newer vehicles due to high demand from buyers who prefer well-maintained, nearly-new cars with warranty and low mileage.

✅ Even with COE prices dropping, we still give the highest offer in the market.

What to Expect in the Next Bidding?

Current trends suggest:

  • If demand stays soft → COE may drop slightly again

  • If buying interest surges after this drop → COE may rebound

Factors to watch:

✅ Year-end promotions from dealers

✅ COE quota changes

✅ Economic and spending sentiment

✅ New model launches attracting buyers
