Matt Nichols Posted February 11, 2016 Report Share Posted February 11, 2016 Howdy everyone. I am in the process of possibly buying a 2011 Ford Edge Limited AWD with just over 110,000 miles. It has a clean service record, super clean interior and was obviously kept in immaculate shape. The owner apparently put highway miles driving from Arkansas to New York. My question is the dealership wants 14,700 for it. It is in the price range that I want but I am worried about the high mileage. Does anyone else have a 2011 with high miles? Any Problems? Also, any suggestion on what I should offer for it? Thanks a bunch! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWWPerfA_ZN0W Posted February 11, 2016 Report Share Posted February 11, 2016 Welcome, Matt! It's not the mileage that is of concern, really on any MY of the Edge. The engine/transmission is quite strong, failures of course happen, but not that common. With the 2011+, the main concerns are: APIM Door Latch Shifter (shift-to-park) Throttle Body failure Brake booster and with AWD, PTU failure. Once thought to only affect 2007-10, it still does affect the 2011+, as more miles accumulate on these vehicles. Haven't heard of fuel tank issues with the 2011+, so fingers crossed Nor with PCM/coil on plug. Nor with wheel bearings. Make sure the PCM calibration is up to date before you take delivery, you get 2 working remote keys etc ... If this Edge has a BAMR, make sure you have good glass coverage with your insurance co. Ford is unlikely to cover any issues there, esp with the mileage. Check power liftgate operation. Should open & close properly. Make sure the A/C works properly. Most people won't think to try during the colder months, just as they might not try the heater during the warmer months. Probably have electronic dual climate control, so make sure the air flow is working well. If not, may be as simple as cabin air filter, or blower fan, or might be blend door actuators. Brakes should have been serviced recently and caliper slide pins greased as part of the service. Too common for the rears to go out on you otherwise.

Matt Nichols Posted February 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2016 Dealer just counter offered with 13,500. Down from 14789. Good deal??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWWPerfA_ZN0W Posted February 11, 2016 Report Share Posted February 11, 2016 Here's the NADA value for your area: http://www.nadaguides.com/Cars/2011/Ford/EDGE-V6/Wagon-4D-Limited-AWD/Values Assuming it's in 100% condition, no accident history etc, I think it's a good deal. Personally, I would like to see a Ford warranty on it, but not really feasible to get PremiumCare, Extracare or Basecare is available tho. Comparison Have you run a carfax or autocheck on it yet? I don't have carfax, but for the next couple of days, I can run the autocheck for you. Need the VIN tho. Is this a Ford dealer, you can have them hand you an OASIS report (Ford's internal history on the vehicle)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Nichols Posted February 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2016 I got the carfax and it shows no accidents and only 1 owner. Brakes/rotors replaced 6 months ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Nichols Posted February 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2016 Got it. Thanks! Looks like a solid car with no issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWWPerfA_ZN0W Posted February 11, 2016 Report Share Posted February 11, 2016 Did they offer any maintenance records from the P.O.? But ultimately, if you are happy with your inspection, that is what will count. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macbwt Posted February 11, 2016 Report Share Posted February 11, 2016 (edited) So far both of mine are doing very well. Both 2011's I am currently going to be replacing the alternator in Lullubelle since the voltage regulator has failed or failing. So far for me this seems to be the only issue. Recommend changing the power steering fluid, brake fluid and transmission fluid. Shocks and struts may also be needing some replacement soon. Lullubelle and Blueberry have both had new APIM's installed. They are February and January builds and both are FWD limiteds. I am currently driving the wheels off of Lullubelle Price seem reasonable. If you want video's on 2011 maintence go to MACTFORDEDGE on youtube this should provide you with some more information.
