I decided to keep the Edge, sold my Jeep and bought my daughter the 2008 Ford Focus.
Don't get me wrong, I like my Ford Edge very much, however it's was a juggling thing, we did not want my daughter to start driving a 265hp car that's why we tried to trade the Edge for something else. Initially we thought the Jeep would be great for her, but it was so big and high, she could hardly see out. So the Jeep's to big and the Edge's to fast ??...... that's what started the ball rolling. Living in Florida, we used the Jeep to the beach and fun driving, so we really did not want to get rid of it. After finding out about the trade price of the Edge, we decided to trade our beloved Jeep instead. (we will get another one sometime) Got an excellent trade price for the.. 2004 Wrangler with premium wheels, and quiet a lot of little extras. The trade did not cost us a cent, we got a $2000 check back from the dealer....now that's a deal!! At the end of the day, my daughter loves her Focus SE Coupe, we keep the Edge, and have our motorcycles as extra transport if needed. We drove the Focus yesterday from Palm Beach (FL) down to Fort Lauderdale and averaged 32.6mpg with only 5 miles driven on the interstate the rest was local traffic light to traffic light driving. WOW!! I am impressed...
