COE Renewal Price Cat A, B & C | August 2021 PQP Results

The COE bids went up, and we are actually thankful it is not by more. It is up across the board, all categories from Cat A to Cat E, though we don’t usually comment on the two wheeled category.

This was only to be expected, as the announcement for yet another cut in COE quota was made known on 14th of July.

For the upcoming quarter of August to October 2021, the reductions range from 3.14% in Cat A to 26.75% in Cat C. More details on this below.

But first, the bidding results below.

(Edit 11th Aug 2021: New prediction for the September 2021 COE Renewal Price is here)

COE Bidding Result 2nd Bid of July 2021, And How It Affects Aug PQP Below

Cat A $47,010

This is a price increase of $2,009 (+4.46%).

No doubt, car dealers are securing these COE for customers for whom they have in hand, to deliver before they expect the COE to go even further up from August onwards.

Dealers have to take less profit, but it is better to close the deal than to end up missing the boat and customer asking for refunds after 6 bids. Or however many bids they agreed upon.

Cat B $59,501

Prices for Cat B closed this bid up $3,401 (+6.06%).

The prices once again are zeroing in on the $60k mark where we expect things to be. Especially with the even smaller quota now announced.

We would not be surprised it exceeds $60k mark by some way, but we do not expect, save for some really bad news on the Covid front, for the prices to fall far below the current levels.

Cat C $39,523

This is an increase of $623 (+1.60%).

This is a the smallest increase of the three here, and surprisingly, this is the category that has the largest cut in the number of COEs for the upcoming quarter. Why could that be? We also wonder.

So What Is The COE Quota Going To Be For August to October 2021?

LTA released news on the COE quota and it will be yet another reduction in quota, similar to what we saw the last quarter, which was also a reduction across all categories of COE.

The difference is the reduction is now a smaller percentage, except for Open Cat E, which sees a larger cut of 23.79%.

The reduction is smaller does not mean we have more COE, it means it became less, and now is further reduced again in the coming quarter (see table below).

This is not good news for those looking for new cars, and is also not favourable to those who are looking to renew their upcoming COE.

Why?

Assuming demand stays constant, new car owners will likely be paying more in their COE bids or in the bids dealers place for them to secure what few COE there are.

This if it continues, and the COE prices remain high for a longer period, the COE renewal prices will also be pulled upwards. The PQP is calculated according to the latest 6 COE bid prices.

One or two higher bids can already start the COE renewal prices moving higher.

So Where Is COE Price Likely To Head

With the tightening situation on COE supply, the most likely scenario is a rise in COE prices.

Unless demand for cars takes reduces by the same amount, we are likely to see the bidding prices rise and pull the COE renewal prices along with it.

Though it does not seem too bad on the Cat A and Cat B with relatively small percentage decrease, we expect Open Cat E to open up its gap to Cat B. It usually stays within $2k of Cat B price, but may pull a little more away now.

Cat C for commercial vehicles also likely to rise.

But as one commercial dealer mentioned, “COE very few, customers also few”.

So it is a matter of low COE quota, low demand. But which is lower, that is the question.

But let’s get to the prices for August 2021 renewal! And you can compare it with our COE renewal price prediction published earlier in July 2021 to see what we provide in advance for customers who have registered with us.

You will see from below, all three categories have moved by less than 0.8% compared to the previous month. Will it be similar as we move into September and October COE renewals?

Cat A $46,358

Down by $538 (-0.76%) compared to July 2021 PQP price.

Our prediction was close at $82 dollars higher than this actual result.

The result is a small consolation. This is the first decline in Cat A COE renewal price after eleven straight increases.

Is that good news? Not in our opinion. Why? If you are doing COE renewal, call us to find out.

We mentioned before that Cat A is the necessary car category, meaning anyone who needs a car needs to enter at this level, so it may be more susceptible to price increases in the face of quota reduction. We shall see.

Cat B $58,306

Up by $351 (+0.61%) compared to the renewal price of July 2021.

Our prediction was $417 dollars lower than this actual result.

Yes, and Cat B continues to rise, after rising a combined total of $10,639 in the past three months of COE PQP. Ouch.

If you are reading this in July 2021, you are likely worried at the rate of increase and how fast this has gone up.
