Coming at this discussion from the other side, I am actually in the market for a HBM 1LE SS and have been watching them go new for $39-42 (for the good deals), I fully expect that by the fall (which is when I expect to be ready to purchase) if available, these will drop to $37+/- as the leftover 2016's last October were going for 20% off (I am fully aware that there may not be any 2016 1LE SS leftovers, but that's my timetable right now). I have noticed the number of them listed on Cars.com dwindle as of late but there are still a number en-route to dealerships that don't have them listed yet. I have seen 2 "Used" HBM 1LE SS's on Cars.com both asking over $42 which I think is crazy at this point in time, but if the demand is there and the supply isn't I totally understand it.
"If" I was ready to purchase today I would be happy to get a new one for $39-40, I would consider purchasing a used one that had a clean history for around $37 (price would vary depending on mileage and tire wear).
If I wait until the fall and they are available I would hope to be able to get a 2016 leftover for close to $37 and that should drop the price for a used one to $34-35, If I can't find one that meets that criteria I am willing to wait to get a 2018 and again hope to pay closer to $40 for it.
These are my "opinions and expectations" based on what I am willing to pay and hope the market will allow based on what I am seeing and have seen over the last year in the market. I hope this helps give another point of view on what someones used 1LE might be worth to resell. Again, this is what "I" would be willing to pay, others will undoubtedly be willing to pay more. One thing to remember about trading in a sports car at the end of summer in the Midwest or northern states is the demand for the cars drops off as demand for Trucks and SUV's goes up.
If the OP is in the market to sell later this year hit me up with a PM and maybe we can agree on a number and cut a dealership middleman out of the equation. Best of luck to you, I truly hope you get what you want/need for the car if you do decide to sell.
