COE for cars above 1,600cc or 130bhp finished at $47,000, up from $46,502.
Open COE, which can be used for any vehicle type but ends up mostly for bigger cars, closed at $47,510, up from $46,667.
Commercial vehicle COE slipped from $46,502 to end at a three-month low of $44,213. Motorcycle premium dipped to $6,503, down from $6,589 previously.
