Snafuflux Posted April 26, 2015 Report Share Posted April 26, 2015 Hello all, I'm in the market for an entry level SUV as our first family car. Tried many different crossovers and then by fluke we tried out an Edge. I've always loved the styling of it (esp the sport) but never thought of it as an affordable vehicle, which is why I was surprised when we came across this one. Looking for advice before emotions take over. What should I be looking for? I plan to take it to a 3rd party mechanic for a once over, but what should I, personally, be looking for (recalls, common problems)? 2012 Ford Edge Limited for $24, 990 (already dropped $1000). 3.5L with AWD. 54, 000km. Has pretty much everything you could think of (?). SYNC, Nav, Pano, Power everything, 18inch rims, backup cam, on and on... Drove it and it felt great to drive. Reviewed the carproof (Canadian here) with the dealer and it looks like one owner, no accidents, serviced at the same dealer we're dealing with. Bumper is scratched up but dealer said they'd repaint it. We think it's a good deal but I what to know what you expert Edge owners say. If all goes well and you agree it's good, I'll be a regular member on the forum. I've already spent $5000 (theoretically) in mods already! I truly appreciate any help provided.

Dean Caudle Posted May 6, 2015 Report Share Posted May 6, 2015 Seems a bit high for a 2012 to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CinnamonEdge Posted May 7, 2015 Report Share Posted May 7, 2015 That seems good to me. Prices between base models and loaded limited models range between 26k - 44k new. So you'll find other 2012 models with same milage for much less but you'll also get much less. I love my 2012 Limited. Its fully loaded except the blind spot monitoring and adaptive cruise control. I paid 29,700 a year and half ago with 2,700 miles. Your price seems respectful seeing as your talking in Canadian money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snafuflux Posted May 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2015 Thanks for your responses. That vehicle was sold by the time we had made our decision. We've now found a 2013 with 65,000km for $24, 800, which has the same specs. We're currently in the works to become new (used) Ford Edge owners! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
