Kyledelp Posted January 28, 2017 Report Share Posted January 28, 2017 Just test drove an '07 Edge with 154,000 miles on it. Seems to drive and shift better than most new cars that I've owned. What are some things I should be looking for and consider before purchasing? The higher mileage has me a bit nervous. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWWPerfA_ZN0W Posted January 29, 2017 Report Share Posted January 29, 2017 Welcome! Maintenance and recalls will always be first on the list for any "used" vehicle under consideration. Seeing as how this Edge is potentially 11 years old, hard to say if the mileage is "easy"/highway or "mixed"/city/highway. My biggest concern would be whether the coolant was flushed at 105K, and whether the transmission fluid has been flushed/exchanged (exchanged hopefully). Then there's the spark plugs (90K I think), belts, etc. This generation of Edge is known to eat wheel bearings, particularly in the rear. Rear wheel bearings are expensive parts as they AND the control arm have to be replaced to fix the issue. If the price is right, you can afford maintenance if you DIY.
