sal878 Posted July 16, 2014 Report Share Posted July 16, 2014 (edited) Hi guys and gals just trying to get some info on these edges. Other than the dreaded ptu issue, is there any other things I should look out for when buying a edge? Or if you guys can point me in the right direction on the forums. I am looking at a 2012 sel for the wife. Thanks Edited July 16, 2014 by sal878 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWWPerfA_ZN0W Posted July 16, 2014 Report Share Posted July 16, 2014 (edited) Run through the usual checklist for any vehicle: drives well, shifts well with no hesitation/jerkiness, no clunks/clicks/rattles, no leaking fluids, fluid color, smell & level ok, no unusual smells in cabin, etc. Compare to a new Edge if you can. Then, specific to the Edge: PTU (although I think mostly happened to the 2007-10 crowd) issue (check under car for signs of leaks) A/C should operate & drain properly (should see water puddles on the ground; air should be cold) Door Latch Ajar problem (primarily driver front door) - door should close without effort Panoramic Vista Roof (lovingly called a BAMR) - should operate easily and quietly. May want to get a deflector for the roof so any road trash doesn't hit it. Liftgate (rear hatch) should open & close with normal effort. If it is a manual liftgate, might want to slam it shut kinda hard a couple of times to make sure the glass doesn't shatter. Rare, but does happen. Bubbling or rust on the paint GPS & navigation should be accurate Satellite Radio should work (if you have the service) PCM Programming up to date MFT/Sync up to date Cabin Air Filter should be new, and clean I'm sure others will be glad to add on HTH.
