Numbers at a glance:

Cat A (Cars up to 1,600cc and 130bhp): S$25,000 (down from S$28,199)
Cat B (Cars above 1,600cc or 130bhp): S$31,101 (down from S$32,302)
Cat C (Commercial vehicles): S$27,509 (down from S$29,501)
Cat D (Motorcycles): S$2,989 (up from $2,509)
Cat E (Open category): S$30,959 (down from S$32,000)

The drop in Category A COE premium is mainly due to an increase in quota as compared to the previous quarter. In addition to the increased in quota, the new vehicular emissions scheme (VES) introduced in July this year has also somewhat contributed to the dampening of demand in the new car market. As reported by The Straits Times in September, only about 15% of new cars registered qualified for rebates under the new scheme. Most popular cars that are entitled to $10,000 rebate under the old scheme now has a surcharge of $10,000 under the new scheme.

Despite the surcharge imposed under the new VES scheme for new cars, Cars & Stars is still able to keep the sale price of new cars low. Get a new car starting from $64,888.
