I bought this car back at the start of 2020 during Covid. It’s been my daily driver for 4 years now, and while I love it, I’m starting to feel a bit cramped in the cabin, especially for passengers. The car has 60k miles, and I still owe $20k. Should I trade it in or stick with it because it’s a 1LE?
I’d only trade it in for a ZL1.

Or maybe a Z28… LS7 is just incredible.

I own both a Gen 6 SS 1LE and a Gen 5 Z/28, and honestly, I wouldn’t want the Z/28 as my daily. It’s bigger, sure, but the ride is rough, fuel economy is worse, and you really have to be careful with how low it rides. The LS7 is my favorite engine, though!

Get ready to love that LS7 even more.

Exactly what I was thinking.
Just get a second car. I picked up a little Smart car for daily use.

I agree, grab a new daily and keep the 1LE forever.

What are those Smart cars going for? I’m actually considering something like that.

Between $5k and $10k, depending on mileage and year. I got mine, a 2016 with 30k miles, for around $9k. I fill it up for about $15 a week, and I drive at least 40 miles a day.
@GuyBolding
That sounds pretty reasonable, might be worth looking into.

I’ve got a turbo Sonic hatch for the daily grind and keep my 2020 1LE and C6 for the fun days.
Have you lost your mind? Or is someone trying to get you into a family car? No reason to get rid of it otherwise. I have two, and I’m not letting them go.

My wife made me trade in a car once… still mad about it.
@Weston
She made you? Man, if someone told me to trade my 2010 LS, I’d be out of there. My current girl loves it, says it makes her feel like Megan Fox in ‘Transformers.’

Careful, the guy who buys your car might be the one she leaves you for… just sayin’.

I have a 2010 2SS, and it still feels like it’s 2010 all over again!
@Weston
It’s okay, bro. My wife hits me too… lol.

I’m single, man! Probably losing it for even thinking of letting her go.
@Mal
Don’t do it! Camaro over anything else!
