Certificates of entitlement (COE) ended mixed in the latest tender on Wednesday (Aug 3) as a smaller quota kicked in.
COE for cars up to 1600cc and 130bhp finished at $52,503, down from $53,000 in the previous exercise.
COE for cars above 1600cc or 130bhp ended at an eight-month high of $57,903, up from $57,508 previously.
Open COE, which can be used for any vehicle type but ends up mostly for bigger cars, also hit an eight-month-high of $58,201, up from $57,501.
Commercial vehicle COE closed at $48,302, down from $49,890. Motorcycle premium finished at $6,206, down from $6,302.
The supply of COEs for the August-October quota period has contracted because more motorists have decided to extend the lifespan of their cars instead of scrapping them. Fresh COE supplies are determined largely by the number of vehicles scrapped.
