The Category A COE premium dipped by $3,000, or 2.3 per cent, from $129,000 at the previous tender on July 8
SINGAPORE – After hitting a record in the previous certificate of entitlement (COE) exercise, the price of a Category A COE has fallen to $126,000.
Meant for smaller, less powerful cars and electric vehicles (EVs), the Category A COE premium dipped by $3,000, or 2.3 per cent, from $129,000 at the previous tender on July 8.
Meanwhile, the premium for Category B COEs, used to register larger, more powerful cars and EVs, fell slightly from $130,889 to $129,890 – a decrease of 0.8 per cent.
The price of Open category COEs, otherwise known as Category E, went up 0.1 per cent from $129,801 to $129,971.
Certificates in this category can be used to register any vehicle type except motorcycles, but are mostly used for bigger cars.
As these certificates are transferable, motor traders often secure them for the flexibility to register cars without waiting for the next tender exercise.
