  1. Costco fine print. Directly from the ford ' s website. Looks like your dealer is giving you another $50 (based on 5%tax )in savings.
  2. Cgoodale what bank do you deal with? I thought secured lines of credit are 1% over prime right now. That is a very good rate. Also I thought the costco and ford credit rebates are applied after taxes? Maybe I am wrong. I order my edge the end of september. Will be in next week .(11 WEEK DELIVERY IAM PISSED) These are the credit I have at the time of ordering my vehicle. $3100 employe discount before taxes.( ford promotion) $1500 deliver fee credit before taxes. ( ford promotion) $1000 costco discount after taxes. (costco Promotion) $1000 ford credit discount after taxes.(ford credit promotion)
  3. Just to throw this out there. I had a leaky input shaft seal on my manual transmission and it had nothing to do with the seals but the shimming of the differential bearings. The bearing was shimmed too tighty (from the factory) which caused the bearing to fail ( loosen) and then caused the seal to fail. Replace the seal and it would fail 6 months later because the bad bearing itself would wear seal out. I took my tranny out. Re shimmed my differial bearings (also replaced the bearings)and never had a leak or gear whine since. Does anyone on this board have the Factory Service manual on the edge. I would like to see a Assembly/disasembly diagram or fiqure for the ptu itself. ? I would like to see if those ptu bearings are shimmed. Has anyone examined the bearings in the ptu to see if they are failing? Is there a whinning noice coming from the ptu? ( a whinng noice is a sign of bearing failure) This may be way out there but the symtoms are kind of similar. Also I think Fords thought process with reguards to fixing the ptu leak is based on the following statement Ford does not care about fixing the ptu. Just replace the seals and if that does not work replace the ptu itself. Ford Freestyle Taurus Manual Quote POST 12
  4. Canuck What is the best Dodo wax for Bordeaux Reserve Red Metallic paint for the edge? Also my other car is Dark Navy blue. Also what is the shelf life for Menzerna Power Lock Sealant? Eshine has only 32oz bottles left I do not want to buy too much and have it go to waste. Say 2 cars sealed 2 to 3 (max) times a year
  5. Here is Autoblogs Review of the edge. :yup: My link
  6. In Canada a backup camera is only available with the Limited Version. All SELs have a back up sensor system in Canada. Only in US the back up camera is available in the SEL with the MYFord Option. Even with the MyFord & Nav option in the SEL a Back up camera is not available. It Sucks. I called ford of Canada about it to confirm.
  7. Taxes included too? My Brother has a 2010 edge and has 17" steelies from his previous vehicle (Mazda Tribute). He told me they do not fit. Also the TPMS in th 2011 edge may be different from the 2010 model. You may only be able to buy the TPMS at Ford. Dam TPMS are a pain. If they provide a steely that fits your 2011/2010 edge with tires(235/65R17 XL) & TPMS that is indeed a really good deal. Canuck that rim and tire package looks good. What do you think of a "OEM Ford TPMS Triggering Tool " for $45.00 at Tire Rack. Do you think we need that to reset the sensors?
  8. Let me see if my brother would be interested too. See what kind of deal you could get on 2 or 3 sets.
  9. My present car has snow tires no rims. Just switched them over year after year at the garage. Did not know how long I was going to keep the car and now it is 5 yrs later and I am kicking myself. It is a real pain in thw$#^%# when you have to go to the garage to switch over tires having to get them balanced and then switch them back and balance them again. Plus it is hard on the rims. I will not be doing that this time with the edge. I was going to get some tires priced in the burnside park (DartmouthNS - DSL Tires) and look out for some used rims. If I could not find any rims heaven forbid I would switch the tires over on my sel rims(just this once) until I could get a good deal on a set of rims. That's where the 18" tires comes into play. $250/tire&rim is a steal. You are looking at that price for most 18" snow tires with no rims especially Blizzaks.
  10. No not as long as you pick the proper tire size and that size within 3% the stock Circumference. I believe the tire size is 235/65-17 Within 1.86% the stock P245/60R18 1010tires
  11. Hi CanuckG35. I order my edge on Thursdays. I will look into my delivery date next week. I never though I would be excited about a getting acrossover/ SUV but I really am. I am looking into snow tires. The only thing about the TP warning I think you have to get the dealer to reset the light. I do not believe you can reset it yourself but I hope I am wrong. I have to look more into it. I do not mind the warning light but it would be a pain in the but if I could not reset it myself . Also is there a chime involved with the warning like seatbealt warning chime? That would drive me crazy. Are you going with 18" rims & tires? My brother has a 2010 edge and he wants to go with 17". Myself I want to go with 18". When you order from tire rack do you take a trip to the border (st Stephen) to pick them up or do you get them delivered? Guy at work in Saint John made a trip of it and saved alot for his tire package for his Santa fe.
  12. For dedicated snow tires & rims do you get TPM installed also ? (Tire pressure monitors)
