I joined the forum 2 years ago. Back then I was living in Texas and searching for a 5th gen 1LE or Z/28.

Fast forward to now, living in Alberta again (home at last), I continued my search for a 5th gen. I'm not sure why, but 5th gens seem to cost more than 6th gens when factoring mileage and wear.

After testing GT350's and being disappointed with the fit of the Recaros and the obnoxiously loud exhaust (the engine sounds amazing but driving that car by yourself must get old listening to the loud exhaust all the time), I came across a 2018 2SS 1LE which checked all the boxes so I pulled the trigger. The 1LE was also 20k less than the cheapest GT350 tested and in better condition.

The car is spec'd as follows
- Summit White
- 1LE
- PDR
- Sunroof (I was impartial on this but it makes the interior feel bigger with the extra light)
- Low mileage (15,500km)
- Excellent condition (no rock chips, suede is excellent)
- No modifications (except dealer installed tint)
