It's bittersweet but I sold my 17 1SS 1LE w/ PDR. I won't be cutting the cord completely (hopefully) and will be back in a 5th gen 1LE shortly. I bought for $35,500 with 850 miles in December 17. I sold for $35,000 with 4993 miles in December 18. $500 of depreciation in 1 year on a basically new car that I enjoyed for several weekends. Cars are a bad investment. We all know that but the 6th gen 1LE is one of the best worst investment you'll ever make. Cheers to a fugly 2019 MY that's going to make the (almost) free ride even sweeter!

That’s not bad at all. I believe some cars can depreciate as much as 20% in the first year. I hope you find the car you are looking for.

Nice! Was $35,500 the out the door price you had paid, including taxes, title, any dealer fees, etc.?

Thanks! We (seller and I) are working out the logistics to take delivery of my "new to me" 1LE next friday.

I bought and sold private party. $35,500 was before taxes/title/fees. I assumed i'd probably never see money for taxes come back to me. What i didn't expect was a 1 year old car to depreciate like 1% during year 2. I don't think my sale was a "special case" or exception. I did a lot of shopping around on Autotrader and other websites and $35,500 seemed to be the going rate private party at that time. Fast forward 1 year and the going rate is almost the same.

I had been searching for several months on a used 6th gen 1LE and mostly found them listed anywhere between the low to high 30s depending on mileage and location. In November I finally found an almost new '18 1SS 1LE in Red Hot with only 2k miles at a dealer for $34,879 before taxes, tag, title etc. There are good deals out there.

That is a really good deal. Congratulations!

I am trying to sell my 18 1SS 1le with intake/exhaust/headers/e85/catch can/tune, ceramic coating, lifetime ceramic window tint, wickerbill, deluxe rock guards, with all the stock parts for $37k. Is that a little high? Also has PDR. I know parts dont generally add value but I thought it was still worth about 38k. Car has 5400 miles

That doesn't sound high. That sounds dead on accurate. Nightfall Gray is a very desirable color for the 1LE. Especially being an 18 with PDR, I would expect at least $36,500. The only thing you added to detract the mainstream buyer is the E85/headers/tune for warranty reasons. Once the right buyer sees it though, it's sold. Just might take a little extra time for that niche market buyer to see it but I would hold tight.

For kbb, you’re probably a little high. As far as other listings you’re right on. The used car market is hot right now also, so I’d stick your guns.

I am having a hell of a time selling my Cruze, but I keep hearing this. I have it listed everywhere and barely get any bites. I have it priced right in the middle of the KBB. The dealer's trade in offer is insulting too. I guess no one wants a manual.

Check what dealers around you are charging for a comparable Cruze manual and subtract about 2K. Otherwise, people will just to dealers for convenience.

Sorry if I missed something, but why are you getting rid of a 6th gen 1LE for a 5th gen?

[appleman22]

damn, after owning my 6th gen 1le for a year now. You couldn't pay me to take back my 2014 1le.
