🔹 CAT B: Rose again to $127,501, continuing its strong upward trend. Premium car buyers remain competitive.

🔹 CAT C: Slight dip to $71,556 from $72,190. Commercial vehicle demand is more stable compared to passenger cars.

🔹 CAT E: Increased sharply to $127,901, nearly $3,000 higher than the last round, showing strong demand across all categories.


Should You Buy or Sell Now?

  • For Sellers: This is one of the best times to sell your car. With COE prices hitting record highs, your vehicle’s valuation is likely at its peak. Selling now could secure you the highest price before the market potentially cools.

  • For Buyers: Buying now means paying a premium. If you don’t urgently need a car, it may be worth waiting and monitoring the next bidding to see if prices stabilise. However, if you are set on purchasing, it’s important to lock in before COE climbs even higher.


What to Expect in the Next Bidding

Looking at the last three rounds (July 2nd, August 2nd, and September 1st), COE prices for CAT A, B, and E have risen consistently every bidding. This strong momentum suggests:

  • High demand will likely push prices further up.

  • CAT C may stay stable or fluctuate slightly depending on business fleet demand.

  • CAT A, B, and E could edge higher again unless there is a sudden surge in quota supply.


Tips to Stay Updated and Predict COE Trends

  1. Track past results closely – Looking at patterns over 2–3 rounds helps forecast short-term shifts.

  2. Monitor car showroom launches – New model launches often push up bidding demand.

  3. Watch quota announcements – Fewer available COEs means stronger price competition.

  4. Set alerts for COE news – Stay ahead by following updates from trusted platforms like SGCarDeals.

  5. Get a free car valuation regularly – With prices fluctuating, knowing your car’s current value helps you decide whether to sell or hold.


The September 2025 1st COE results confirm what we’ve been seeing since July: the upward trend continues. Sellers have an excellent opportunity to maximise their returns, while buyers should weigh urgency against potential future increases.
