northeastsnake Posted November 4, 2007 Report Share Posted November 4, 2007 Many thanks to this forum for assisting in the decision to purchase an '08 Edge. So here is what we purchased.. SEL AWD Dark Ink Blue/Black Leather Interior Premium Package Pana Roof (BAMR) Audiophile Radio with Navigation Sync (of course!!) 18" painted wheels (because both my wife a I hated the "chrome" 18s & 20s...looks a little sportier w/o the "chrome" wheels. Not sure on delivery time...dealer suggested the Limited model based on the pricing...but just couldn't go with the chrome accents on the Limited Version...my suggestion to Ford is in '09...get thinking about making this a little more "sporty". Go Jim Farley!!!!! I'll provide feedback as I get it... Dealer will confirm options by sending me the DORA...then it's just the waiting came. My wife did test drive an '08 Edge on the lot before purchase...she really likes this much better than the Explorer... We still have our 2004 Explorer EB V8 purchase new.. thought that may be of interest to the potential edge buyers out there... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

07 MKX Posted November 13, 2007 Report Share Posted November 13, 2007 ??? I ordered a vehicle back in '05. I personally had the number to call and get the status. Each time I called it was clean and unscheduled. Something like 4 months of that. To me, it was just personal information. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Per Tracking done @ Blue Oval Forum...which was great experience I might add!!! details were dead on.... So the Edge arrived on Monday of this week and we picked it up last night... So far very pleased. ...came in just like we expected..very pleasurable purchase. We haven't tested all the features yet...to cold the last few days to be outside fooling around...single digits @night. If anyone is interested in any photos of an SEL in Dark Ink with painted 18's let me know. I'll provide an update in a couple days comparing the this vehicle to our 2004 Explorer EB V8 which we still have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
