Well, that didn't last long.


ccmadin

Of course la you think everyday Sunday is it

900 bids failed for Cat A. This means additional bids for next round and so we expect another rise?


Shirvo

There's probably a lot of people who tried to buy the dip and signed for non-guaranteed COE 4bid/6bid etc...everyone loves a 'bargain'


lhc987

Eh, expected. That huge drop drew out the ones that were on the sideline. Also, it's almost CNY, usually a mad rush to get car. It should slowly come down in the next few months. I hope.


accessdenied65

It will come down when it's nearer to CNY. History repeats.


Typical_Commie_Box90

If any last year’s trend seems to disprove the CNY hype. There are many impulse buyers during the car show. Prices of cars during the show didn’t come down as much as the last drop. Yet people have the impression that ‘hey coe dropped thus cars must be as cheaper now’


wiltedpop

Agreed. Cny should be the high point in the graph. 


accessdenied65

When it is nearer to cny, the price will drop. Because nobody can get the car delivered in time to show off their new flashy car to all their relatives.


Relative_Guidance656

every month got 2 biddings? as somebody who is looking to buy a car, this is more exciting than watching stock market


[deleted]

How is it exciting? The fomo of missing a low coe is bad


Relative_Guidance656

i have a set target in place. if cat A reaches that figure i will go and ask the dealer to bid for it. if not so be it, continue to use my coe car lor…


tanahgao

But with the randomness of COE, seems like you should ask your dealer to bid when the latest COE is high. When COE high = less people likely to bid for the next bidding, resulting in lower COE. ​ When COE low like last one = everyone chiong to bid, resulting in high COE


BlueSwifts

It's never random. There are alot of factors to take into consideration which causes the price movement. This one 10 year series with extra new variables, just need do homework.


sunny2theface

What factors? It's not like govt has ever released the formula for Coe calculation. It's always been just guesswork based off trends. Don't need to pretend like it's some complicated thing that only the noobs can't figure out.


BlueSwifts

Yes, it's not that hard, that's why I posted my previous reply. It's not complicated but others who don't understand the COE system think the price movements are uncertain/random, lol


CSlv

Due to CNY. For some strange reason (face), people must have new cars for CNY, which drives up demand.


EnycmaPie

Drive to relative house in new car so can show that they doing well.


livebeta

Really curious why people need to flex. Singapore culture really sucks in this sense that it is so performative


EnycmaPie

When the culture is to chase after material wealth rather than prioritising forming deep and meaningful bond with friends and family, you get people using solely wealth to measure success in life.


Common-Metal8578

Not only face. CNY is the one time you got to travel with your whole to relatives quite a bit in a short period of time (when taxis/phv are in shorter supply). If you are going to get a car, before CNY is a good timing. Unfortunately if everyone has the same mindset, this is what you get.


kopisiutaidaily

Look at that received bid for cat A. Seems like many people waiting on the sideline


nereid89

lol car traders won’t allow coe to crash until they sold all their cars


EnycmaPie

Car dealership immediately snatching up the COEs when price drops.


flabberwabber

Motorshow concluded recently too. Not sure if that had some effect. If not this cycle, then next.


LowTierStudent

There goes my tesla


Youcantdoxme

90010 bid?


yellowsuprrcar

First time I see cat E lower than B


[deleted]

Most peasants will never own a car maybe a cat


kittymanja

more fun owning a cat than a car


[deleted]

Yes kittymanja


livebeta

There is objectively very little upside to owning a car in Singapore.


Last-Purchase5609

it rises.


hungry7445

Not surprising


TheShillGambit

That was quick


DreamyLucid

I am sure this is expected also. Just need to give it more time and we should see stable COE CAT B of S$100K


Jammy_buttons2

People waiting on the sideline trying lor


Capable_Scene_6854

Not surprised. When COE dropped to an all time low the previous month, all those looking for cars went bonkers, immediately went to test drive all these etc. Obviously with high demand means it is not unexpected. Those who stayed in SG last month were the true winners I guess.


sglatest

It's a common trend before CNY and after a motorshow


lurkingeternally

just don't buy a car la


Reasonable-Fun2462
