Here is the full list your 3500 buys you:
And Don't forget electric power steering in 2013+ models. Tires alone are 1200 easy. Good light weight wheels with those tires will be way over the 3500 price alone. |

I'm not try to pick on anybody else's car either, but mods are the same as packages, you don't get anything back on either except to the right buyer. Sorry, but its the same perspective as one not paying more for a used car with leather seats than a used car with cloth seats. BTW I can mod a car for a lot less than what GM will sell it for.
I don't see how you can refer to a 1-4 year old car as dated. GM "refreshed" the Camaro to sell more. The market is flooded with 10-13s and sales were slowing. Yes many people will trade for the newest thing on the market, to each their own. I'm sure if we took a poll from what I've read on the forums the vote for those who like the 10-13 styling over the 14 would be significant. One thing to keep in mind, the 5th gens will still be refered to as 2010's to the average person. Just like when the average person sees a first gen they automatically assume oh it's a 69. Sorry for the rant.

I can out run a 1LE both in a straight line, and on a road course. My appearance mods are different than a 1LE and are to my own taste. I have spent well less than the 15-20k you would loose trading a 2010 SS in on a 1LE. You did not consider that 3500 is the cost of the package, not the difference between trade in value of a 2010 and new cost of a 2014 1LE. Let me re-iterate, a 1LE is probably a good deal if your getting into a V8 for the first time, it is not a good deal if your just looking to trade up an SS unless you have an boat load of miles on the SS.

That's like saying a Supercharged car would sell for what a ZL1 would sell for. A 1LE will sell for more than an SS that was modded to be close to what a 1LE is, I guarantee it. Plus you get more for your buck by buying the 1LE package. Price the wheels alone out. As far as looks, it's ones preference. I'm not going to get in that debate. It's been beat to death. Different strokes for different folks. |

I am going to disagree right there on the bolded part above. If you were to get Factory GM wheels that are on the 1LE (Not aftermarket look-alikes) the wheels are $1095 a piece from GM for a total if you were to go buy a set for $4380, then a set of the tires ~1200, so you are now up to $5580. Then $600 for a good vinyl wrap, Now you are at ~$6200. So not even close to your $2000 price tag. Now, you cannot get Recaro's yet for the '10-'13 year models that are factory, which just about every person I have talked to that has the 10-13 yr model would give a left nut/ovary for them. And that is just from the SS to the 1LE. And this is just IMO, but I prefer the looks of the '14's over the other years. More aerodynamic, not as gaudy front end and just looks cleaner. I have NOTHING against the 10-13's, but I am glad I didn't have the $ back then because I absolutely love the 14. Every aspect of it. So, take is for what its worth, if you were to poll it, yes you would get more people liking the 10-13 models because there are far less people that own the 14. It would not only be 1 sided, it wouldn't even be a contest. Everyone is going to love the style of Camaro they have or chances are they wouldn't still have it. I could go on, but I am going to stop. I love all Camaro's, and thats a fact. |

I'm starting to sound like a broken record now so this is my final word on this. The OP asked us to talk him out of buying the 14' 1LE. I just can't, it's a superior car to the SS. BTW, I did own a well modded 2010 2SS/RS so I can speak from experience. Whatever you choose OP, make sure your decision is well thought out and don't look back. |

You also need the dual mode exhaust (NPP). I would look for another car with recaros and npp.

Do it! I traded my modded 12 SS for a 13 1 LE and have not had any second thoughts.

I would also do it. Coming from a modded and tuned 2010 to my 2013 my 13 was a nice upgrade, now that I have the 1LE rearend and suspension my car is night and day over how she was new as a 13.
