francois.nc Posted October 15, 2010 Report Share Posted October 15, 2010 I am getting pretty close on pulling the trigger on a new Edge, I am looking at the very low end Limited's, generally only with the Driver Entry Package - MSRP 35890, there aren't a whole lot of those to chose from though, most Limited's and in the low 40's. I know I would option up the SEL to get the Touch / Leather Seat upgrade package, and most of them around here added the same Chrome wheels as the Limited. So I am asking what am I really missing out on? Wood Grain, HD Radio, the Shiny Black Console, I know there are features in the Driver Entry as well that I would like (Push Button Start, Liftgate, Remote Start) Should I go with the LTD with only Driver Entry Package, or save a grand or 2 on the SEL?

choff1138 Posted October 15, 2010 Report Share Posted October 15, 2010 Get the limited. The remote start alone is worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
francois.nc Posted October 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2010 (edited) Get the limited. The remote start alone is worth it. I live in NC though, and remote start would be just a toy except in the summer, I see most everyone wants to know how it works to warm up the car. No need here, mine remote start would be to cool that baby down.. LOL Edited October 15, 2010 by francois.nc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL I was surprised it took so long to market it that way too - we have been using them up here for 10 years - seems like they have only gotten popular "outside" the last few. I would certainly be using it to cool it down if it was to actually get hot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samskudd Posted October 15, 2010 Report Share Posted October 15, 2010 You can supposedly get an aftermarket Ford starter installed at the dealership...I paid for mine at closing and waiting for the parts to come in... Can't believe my wife's 17k HHR came with a starter and my 34k Edge didn't... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

choff1138 Posted October 15, 2010 Report Share Posted October 15, 2010 Yeah Wilson - this is my first time with HID lights and I am loving them. I won't go back to regular lights willingly... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MIK Posted October 15, 2010 Report Share Posted October 15, 2010 I looked and looked, and asked the salesman, and looked again. I went with the Limited, because it did include a lot more for the money. Had to order, because the roof rack is a must have. I don't get the concept of an SUV or a CUV without one. If the sunroof was just a bit smaller, they could have offered both. My X3 being traded has both, and that sunroof is plenty big. Look at this this way, when you sell it, it'll be worth more, and you'll have enjoyed the extras too. My 2 cents worth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually took all the options from all the models and got it into a spreadsheet and figured out what features I "had" to have and picked that way.

Dreamss Posted October 15, 2010 Report Share Posted October 15, 2010 I really like the HID headlights too. One of the reasons I chose limited over sport Same reason as me lol, well, that and the tow package. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
francois.nc Posted October 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2010 I really like the HID headlights too. One of the reasons I chose limited over sport I am basically looking now at a base model Limited with only the Driver's Entry package and the Roof. So no HID's for me, those are only in one of the Option Packages. Later all, wish me luck on a deal this weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

choff1138 Posted October 16, 2010 Report Share Posted October 16, 2010 Now that's discipline! I stopped at the wheels... and the adaptive cruise control... but can't imagine being that disciplined. The Edge with anything is awesome so it will be enjoyed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only other way to post pictures is to upload them from your drive. I have shared Mobile Me links as well as TwitPics via a link like you have posted. It's all good. I really like your Blue Edge and wish my dealer had cleaned up my Black Edge as good as yours! I can really appreciate a detailed car now...after spending all weekend detailing my own. You'll love your Edge...Just learn to be patient with the Dash Tech. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
