Car Shopping - Is this actually a 1LE?
https://www.autonation.com/cars/2G1FT1EW8E9131445
I am car shopping and have become partial to the 2014+ 1LE's but they are not all in my price range. This one has the hood but what's up with the wheels and calipers?? The VIN checks out as a 1LE as well. Is it possible that they mix and matched some of the options even on 1LE models? The price is attractive but some aspects of the car look a little rough. |

Nothing on that car implies it's a 1LE. No suede shifter or steering wheel. Missing front lip. No painted calipers. No wrapped hood or satin spoiler. Not to mention standard SS wheels.

What about the hood? Someone posted, perhaps inaccurately, if the 5th letter is "T" that means 2SS 1LE:

I'm sure it's inaccurate. I don't think you can tell if it's a 1le by the vin. https://www.camaro5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=530405
Killer price on a nice 1le |

The Vin will NOT indicate a 1LE , if you want to be sure the Car you are looking at is a true 1LE, Look at the production codes under the mat in the trunk and find the "1LE" code.

Doesn't look like it's a 1LE to me.

Most certainly not a 1LE. Only way to tell is to find the sticker with all the build codes to see if 1LE is listed. It just looks like a plain 2SS
