Wednesdayโs tender results suggest that sales efforts have been more effective in tempting buyers of the bigger and more powerful cars and EVs than those in the market for cars in the lower category. In this case, car dealers may need the extra time to find enough buyers willing to put up with the high COE premiums. Mr Ron Lim, head of sales at Tan Chong Motor, said the overall market for the smaller and less powerful cars is still weak. More bids were received for larger and more powerful cars and EVs than before. The changes have made it more costly for dealers to let secured COEs expire - after they have driven up premiums with their bids. LTAโs announcement last Friday of the reduction in COE quota for the November 2022 to January 2023 quarter had prompted more buyers to head to the showrooms over the past weekend in a bid to net a good deal as they expect COE prices to go up further.
