Why so many SS 1LEs for sale?

I see many new SS 1LEs for sale, many with very low miles.
Just look at the for sale section and the majority are 1LE models.

Why? Just curious?

PM newmoon. He can tell you all about this, and other topics relating to “most people”.

It'll always be a variety of reasons, such as:

*Lost their job (i.e. their economy is down)
*financial re-prioritization (e.g. paying off mortgage)
*more car than they need, a pragmatic decision
*less car than they want: moving to a ZL1, etc.
*realized the car or lifestyle isn't for them (e.g. giving up on life and buying a crossover, going back to a Porsche)
...and the ever common:
*Change cars more often than changing underwear.


The forum is also the perfect place to put specialty cars like the 1LE for sale. The percentage of 1LT car owners here is significantly out of proportion to the number of them sold versus all the 1LE's. Forums are never an accurate representation of reality.

Funny, I was just wondering the same thing, I rarely see used 1ss 1le’s in my car searching, but there’s a lot here! The values don’t seem compelling to me though, I’d still buy new, but I’m maybe too risk averse after a bad experience buying a used car.

I thought the same when I saw this, we are up to our noses in work and guys are pulling 20+ hours in overtime. OP is in New York, more like the local economy is being crushed by out of control property, city, income taxes among others. That and they just gave Amazon the boot, this will be studied in business schools for decades on how "not" to attract business to your state.

Back to the original thread, not seeing this trend here.

Most of the people that post on a car forum are enthusiasts so it's natural you'll see the more performance oriented model more often.

I honestly believe people get too excited and impulse buy the 1le thinking its rare and special and then realize they made a ton of them on the 6th gens and they aren't rare or that special either.

Theres a lot of everything out there used now. I searched for ZL1's and there are a bunch of those out there too. I am amazed at how many, and in some cases how few miles are on those cars. People switch cars like under garments.

It has a narrow window to live with it as a daily driver. Few people can handle that but as noted lots of possible reasons; economic.
