2022 2SS 1LE bought from Florida and drove to Houston, amazing car and amazing owner. I don’t believe they’re on these forums but he kept the car in immaculate condition. I bought it from them with 11,157 miles and reached home with 12,095 miles. (I am using the listing photos, I have to clean it in the morning and then I can take some)

Options from factory include: 1LE package, A10 transmission, Sunroof, Navigation, Red seat belts, All weather floor mats, Sports pedal kit (and a front license plate bracket

)

When I was searching after my car was totaled the prices were all over but occasionally I did see occasional 1LE’s that were in my range, funny enough after spending months checking cars.com daily for new inventory and price changes it was good old Facebook Marketplace that I found this car from.

It was sold by a dealership when it was new to another Chevy dealership who put ~1,200 miles on it then sold it as CPO to who I bought the car from.

Since it was a CPO, I got transferred the whole suite: extra year of warranty plus 12k miles on top of the 36k bumper-bumper for a total of 48k miles and 100k miles powertrain warranty plus the roadside stuff.

Having just spent a full 25 plus change hours in the car traveling, it’s a beast. Probably gonna be getting new tires soon as the treads are not great but even with not optimal tread it handled beautifully. It’s nice to have all the creature comforts that I tried Jerry-rigging into my 1LT and man does the OEM version work so much easier

Considering the CPO warranty, I don’t think I’ll be attempting any bolt-ons like I did with the LGX and honestly having come from the LGX it’s definitely going to take me a bit to handle the cars stock power. Though the previous owner did do their own mods including Anderson Composites hood and side skirts, a Cold Air Inductions Elite Carbon CAI, and a E85 kit he graciously included with the deal. The original matte wrapped hood was included and brought back with me (thank god for truck rentals).

I have yet to actually open the E85 box but will see what brand it is, I will keep the CAI and side skirts as they look amazing and I did not have any issues along the ride home. I did receive the OEM CAI so if I ever have a warranty issue I’ll have that handy. The hood will be changed back to OEM, it’s an amazing hood and great construction but I’m not a big fan of the COPO style on a stock engine. I will say, the amount of looks and comments alone of the hood on just the rest stops and seeing people stare while walking is something I’ve never experienced before, not a bad thing just a first experience.

To be honest, it hasn’t really hit me truly, every time I exited the rest stops along the trip I’d see the car and think damn that’s a nice car and then after a beat think ‘wait yeah, that’s mine’

Side notes on the car itself, the exhaust is wayyyyyy better then any video I watched, the paint is extremely well taken care of, the alcantara took a little to get used to and maybe I’m making this up in my head but the steering wheel is so skinny compared to the leather version, now though I really like the feel of alcantara. Unfortunately right before my 2016 1LT was totaled, I installed an OEM ZL1 push start button (silver/metal? Instead of black) and OEM carbon fiber shifter knob. As I couldn’t access the car I couldn’t remove them and that was a loss but I will be adding those to this car, if I remember correctly the shifter knob cap can be taken apart so I’ll combine the alcantara knob with the carbon fiber cap.

In my 1LT thread I was asked for feedback on the A10 (shoutout arpad, one of the first members here who helped me out back in the early ownership days with the 1LT and has given crazy amounts of help and knowledge here). The A10 on the 1LE has probably the most smoothest yet most rewarding (if that makes sense) out of the transmissions I’ve test-driven or owned (8L45, 10L60, 10L80). Again the 10L80 is probably the same in the 1LE but in comparison of the 2SS I test-drove compared to this 1LE 10L80, this one felt much smoother. Maybe it’s the mileage difference ~20k miles or something else.

One note about the car, one of the service records indicate there was a lifter failure at 10k miles two months ago on #7 I believe where they replaced all the lifters on that bank under warranty. I know of the infamous lifter issues but as long as I’m within warranty I’m handing it all off to the dealer if something comes up
