That is unfortunately correct but it really doesn't help sellers with SS 1LE package since Mannheim's estimators or post sale data only use trim levels for pricing (doesn't display package level information) which hinders the SS 1LE's additional $7k cost (or almost 20% of the car's value). I think it's a good idea to try to sell it privately first if someone doesn't want their 1LEs to be priced as base 1SS because of the above reason :/
