The latest September 2025 2nd COE bidding results are in, and the trend is clear: COE premiums for Categories A, B, and E have skyrocketed once again, reaching their highest levels this year. For car buyers and sellers in Singapore, this signals a crucial turning point in the market.

September 2025 2nd Bidding Results vs 1st Bidding

Here’s a quick comparison between the September 1st and September 2nd bidding rounds:

CAT C	$71,556	$72,501	🔼 +$945
CAT E	$127,901	$140,502	🔼 +$12,601

➡ CAT A, B, and E premiums surged sharply, while CAT C also edged up slightly.

This marks the highest COE levels recorded in 2025 so far.

What Does This Mean for Buyers and Sellers?

For Car Buyers

• Buying a car has become significantly more expensive, especially for luxury (CAT B) and open category (CAT E) vehicles.

• If you’re considering a purchase, it may be wise to hold off and monitor the next bidding round, as demand could cool slightly after such a steep increase.

For Car Sellers

• Now is one of the best times to sell. High COE prices push up overall car values, giving sellers the chance to secure top offers.

• If you’ve been waiting to upgrade or cash out, this market offers an opportunity to get the maximum return.

  
  

What to Expect in the Next Bidding

With COE prices climbing so aggressively, the big question is: Will this momentum continue, or is a correction coming?

• Possible Cooling Ahead: Sharp increases often lead to a pullback as buyers hesitate at record-high levels.

• Quota Factor: Despite the quota increase announced for August to October 2025, demand has remained strong – especially for CAT B and E. This suggests intense competition is still driving prices up.

• Prediction: Expect some resistance at these new highs. If demand slows, the next round could stabilise or dip slightly, though CAT B and E will likely stay elevated.

Tips to Stay Ahead of the COE Market

• Track Every Bidding Round – Even small shifts reveal future trends.

• Get Your Car Valued Regularly – With prices at record highs, knowing your car’s market value helps you decide the right time to sell.

• Watch Policy Announcements – Quota adjustments and regulations can change the market overnight.

• Stay Flexible – If buying, have backup options (different models or categories) to avoid overpaying.

The September 2025 2nd COE bidding has pushed premiums for CAT A, B, and E to record highs, signalling strong demand despite the recent quota increase.

• Sellers should act fast to capitalise on these peak values.

• Buyers may want to wait and see if a correction comes in the next round.
