I'll be taking my grandpa, an ex-mechanic, to the shop with me tomorrow to look it over a bit closer. It won't guarantee a problem-free car, but sure beats going in blind.

Howdy, y'all! I've been creeping the forum a little recently, and decided I needed to make a presence. After a lot of thought, research, and flip-flopping, I decided I wanted to purchase an Edge. I'll be going to school in the fall and the little brother will need my current, hand-me-down to practice driving and eventually use for himself. I've gotten two deals worked out with two dealers for different Edges, and thought it'd be smart to run it by a community of owners. Here's my options: http://www.germainford.com/vehicle-details/2008-ford-edge-sel-columbus-oh-id-2933057 The dealer wouldn't budge on the price, but I did get him to throw in installing reverse sensors. Tomorrow, I may try to get $19k flat, with the sensors and floor mats. There is a foot-long mustard-color stain on the second-row's floor. I'm not too huge on the interior color, nor the wheels, but the blue is pure sex. Only scratch on the thing is on the back bumper as if someone lifted something out of the trunk and scraped the key. No biggie. After all the fees and taxes, it will come to ~$19,050. Oh, and this one come with a 3 year, 100,000 mile powertrain warranty. http://jimkeimford.com/Columbus/For-Sale/Used/Ford/Edge/2007-SEL-Copper-Car/9672042/ This salesman was the most down to earth guy. He was great. Talked him down to $16,300, and after fees and taxes, it ends up being ~$17,700. I don't like the color as much, but the black interior is nice. The chrome wheels look real nice, but there are a few more dings on this than the blue '08. This Edge does not come with a warranty. Currently, I'm leaning toward the blue '08. Good deal?
