Does the 2017 Sport have a Tachometer ? I'm looking at buying a Sport soon, and was somewhat surprised to see that it doesn't have a tacho - am I seeing right? Note, I've not viewed one in person yet.

The one I was keen on sold, so they have come back with another one that they located at another dealer. Should I keep looking?

Welcome. That's my preferred color, but we had a draw and my wife won, so we'll be getting a black Titanium AWD.

Thanks @akirby That's very helpful and I think that I'll go with the Ford financing. Here's the deal that I'm looking at, and will make it mine if it hasn't sold by the end of Feb. http://www.tricountyford.com/new/Ford/2016-Ford-Edge-b87a54990a0e0a1733aaeffa2c92121e.htm

I found one in stock at my local dealership. I'm abroad on a work assignment and was hoping to be back late Jan early Feb, but its looking like late Feb now - I'd like to process the purchase ahead of time so that I can collect as soon as I return and not use my wife's Mini for work. I haven't bought a vehicle on finance for many years, so would really appreciate advice on this from you folks - I have a $20,000 deposit and no trade-in. Should I consider using Ford's finance, or are there better options available? Do you think that they'll be open to bargaining the price down? 2016 Ford Edge Titanium AWD - $36,000 3.5L V6, AWD, automatic, Shadow Black, new, 2016 Edge Titanium 2016 Ford Edge, AWD, 20" Ultra Bright Machined Aluminum Wheels, Auto-Dimming Driver's Sideview Mirror, Equipment Group 301A ...

Thanks for all the comments, it sure helps with the final decision. The FWD vs AWD decision might be made for me, as all the 2016 and 2017 3.5L V6's that I see listed have AWD. @akirby , its the 3.5L V6 selection seen in the Edge listing on the Ford web site, but don't know the exact code i.e. 3.5LEB - The Edge Sport would be stretching my budget, so looking at the SEL or Titanium.

I've driven a company car Fusion (2 OFF) for the past 8 years and very happy with the styling, performance and servicing, now that I'll be losing the company car, I need to purchase my own ride. In Jan or Feb 2017 I plan on buying an Edge, 2016 or 2017, but undecided on options. Engine: One of the Fusion's had a 1.5L Ecoboost engine and the performance was impressive, but my concern with the Ecoboost engines is longevity and major maintenance such as intake fouling due to Direct Injection, so has me leaning towards the 3.5L V6 FWD vs AWD: I've never owned an AWD so can't make the comparison myself - I'm in Kentucky and we occasionally get snow more than a foot deep, but I've always managed with FWD. There's been very few occasions where I've longed for what AWD could offer in the ice and snow. In my case, is it worth the extra for AWD? Package Options: This is another area of indecision, but secondary - I don't plan on Build your Own, so will need to settle on the options on the vehicles that my Ford dealer has in stock.
