COE premiums for cars flat ahead of bigger quota

PREMIUMS for passenger-car COEs (Certificates of Entitlement) hardly budged in Thursday's final bidding exercise, ahead of next month's new and bigger quota.

Category A - for cars below 1,600cc and 130 hp - inched up S$110 to S$63,990, while Cat B - for cars above 1,600cc or 130 hp - slipped S$178 to S$72,002.

Cat E - the open category which currently tracks Cat B - climbed S$198 to S$72,201.

But Cat C - for goods vehicles - jumped S$3,611 to S$61,000, as Cat D - for motorcycles - eased S$388 to S$4,412.

The government announced last week that the November 2014 to January 2015 COE quota will be 5.3 per cent bigger.
