Been trying to figure out if I want to go w the 15 1le or the 17 2ss.. I like different things about both. Mostly I like the way the 15 1le looks. But I like the seemingly smaller look of the 17 and then all the options that go w it.. I hear that handling wise there pretty similar even w out the 1le package on 17.. I honestly realy like both cars and there both about same price in my area.. w wife and kids I can’t afford to do as many upgrades as quickly as I like so I would like to go w the one that’s better stock outa the box.. sound is definately something I like, the louder the better. I’ll probly end up doin some electric cutouts but w that I’m wondering if the ls or lt will sound better... anyways, any kind of inside info or opinions would b great..

Ha someone else just had nearly the same self-debate. A lot said drive both to see, which I agree with. What options on the 2ss?

Fully loaded on the 2 ss... I wanted to test drive both but for the 1Le I’d have to drive a couple hours away.. my work schedule makes it kinda hard.. even the 2 ss is hard to find.. want the white w black accents. I can say I do like to “play around” a lot so I’m wondering if the 1Le will b too sticky for that..

Oh you want the 17' the chassis is so tight and the LT1 IS FAST.

That’s kinda the feeling I keep getting.. plus I just like the idea of getting a car that has a lil more factory warranty and not knowing how it was driven before.. coming from a 99 ss (RIP) I knew either one would b night and day from what I was used to.. I couldn’t make up my mind but def know I want the more aggressive ride feeling, sound and power.. thanks for the feedback

If you can afford a '17 2SS then a used low mile '17 1LE is within your reach...you can thank me later.

Lol... trust me Ive been lookin... it’s so hard to find a used one around here tho. And it’s about another $8,000... wife put a $30000 limit on me but she also knows I realy want the 1Le 17.. if I hold off long enough I could probly find one right price and I’ll b getting another raise soon so who knows... been waitn a while and just startn to get eager.. don’t want to just settle tho.. thanks for input

Yeah, 30k is a bit out of range. I say go with the 2SS then.

[nancygrl]

Having had all of the above...I'd go with the '15 1LE

[Gen6_1Le]

The 15 1Le would be a great choice and in your budget ,or hold out for a 17 1Le .I would have to think you can find a 17 1Le for less then a fully loaded 2SS.

The 17 2SS cost more than the 17 1LE... Just saying

New maybe, but on the used market the 1LE is more in demand.

[Dvs510]

Yea there pretty close in price in Bay Area... just damn near impossible to find a used 17 1LE.. only seem 1 in the past month and was asking $38,000...depending on my tax return wich should b a good chunk I was hoping to put the difference of the 30 down and finance the rest... 15 1le, I’ve found a few... 17 2 ss used not too many and I’m specific on color.. and used 17 1le is rare right now.. unless I buy in Nevada , but then I’m not sure how that works and fees and everything

15 1le and 17 2SS in the same price range?! That's either a hell of a deal on a 17 or a way overpriced 15. I was looking at a low mile 15 1le 3 years ago that was $28k before I bought the NEW 16 1ss for $34k. The 6th gen is better in every way, looks a subjective but no way I'd consider a 5th gen over a 6th if it's in your price range. If it's just the 1le "look" that's selling you, wrap the hood for $60 And buy/powdercoat wheels black on the 17 and you'll be way happier.
