Cars in Singapore: COE prices and the costs of owning a car
The numbers for owning a car in Singapore, from LTA: COE prices after every bidding round, what renewing a COE costs, how many COEs there are, and which category your car is in.
In short

How much PARF rebate will I get?
The PARF rebate is a share of the ARF you paid, set by the car’s age when it is deregistered. For a COE won before the second round of February 2023 it is 75% up to 5 years old, falling 5 points a year to 50% between 9 and 10, with no cap; for COEs from then to the first round of February 2026, the same but capped at $60,000; for COEs from the second round of February 2026, 30% falling to 5%, capped at $30,000. After 10 years there is none. You also get back the unused part of the COE: the QP paid × months left ÷ 120.
