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.

Agree with above. Nothing on that car shows it's a 1le

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

Either way I will avoid this one...it looks a bit abused.

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

That's kind of what I was thinking but I have no more vacation days to use this year and doubt I could do it in a weekend. Nor would I want to try.

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.

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
