I think Cat A $80k, Cat B $113. 

Unlikely for Cat A to drop, and not really possible for Cat B to increase by $10K, I don't think even Cat E can do $120k in the next 1-2 bids.

I am going to bid 12% more than last time

to get COEs for my customers.

This is the secret to how the good salesman get their cars for their customers.

People always ask how do we decide how much to bid?

Now you know.

Cat A Plus 10% and B add 15% to their existing prices roughly 😅

[Fitmugen]

No increase. Maybe slight drop. New method will be effective in moderating COE prices. Trust our gahmen

[Arogab]

This time I guess it to drop, if no drop, then up.🤣- my prediction sure is zhun one

My customers are coming back to say in the next six months, they are coming down. Buy lah, I am just not moving😂

Wah you can be a ministar

You got helicopter view.

I learn from many people that guess like that😂

CNA Explains: How will the new COE quota counting method affect you if you want to buy a new car?

[Lotr]

Falling supply will have upward price pressure. Ceteris paribus

[Carbon82]

Let me say it again, the record breaking COE premium is BAD for Singapore and Singaporeans in long run, and the same can be said for high properties price. 

It is gonna to hit each and everyone of us, not just car buyers / owners! I am not a financial expert but think about this:

Transport and commodities prices went up because of high vehicle and fuel cost. When COE and fuel price drop back to the "norm" (I know it will never be as low as before), will prices for other products and services dropped in tandem? 

When business owner started to earn more as transportation cost headed south, that will become the new baseline (profits) for them, and come the next round of COE and fuel hike (which will happen once every few years, with or without war and other financial crisis), everything went up again and that is what I call inflation (from a layman's perspective).

And mind you, it is not just with transportation, the same will applies for say rental and other properties related charges.

👍In Singapore having a car is a luxury already.  Even if my car is basic, I'm glad if it can just drive from point A to wherever and whenever and comes back to point A. That's the bottomline.✌️🙂
