How does renewing COE to a weekend car work?

Question

Am thinking of purchasing a used car with a short duration and renewing COE to a weekend car/revised off peak vehicle to save costs. Would I still need to bid for the COE first? And how are the steps for it?

No need to bid for anything. Just pay pqp online.

You can find the pqp rates through the link, and pay there.

Suggest you buy a car with more than 6 mths left on its existing coe. Drive it around for a bit and confirm that it isn't a clunker before renewing. If it is, scrap it and claim parf if it will cost too much to fix.

Thanks for the reply! So if I renew COE it will be at the previous COE rate and not bid for a new price? Or did i misunderstand?

EDIT: Ohhh i just saw the rate for PQP

Average price over the last 3 round or 3 months can't remember. Be aware that if you renew for 5 years, you cannot do another round of Coe renewal for the same car. But if you do a renewal for 10 years yes you can renew another time after 10 years
