Jeff_S Posted November 17, 2011 Report Share Posted November 17, 2011 Hello forum, I’m new here, and while I’m not an Edge owner yet, I hope to be one before the year is out. I’m currently driving a 2006 Mazda 3 hatchback, and just started my search for a upgrade in size. I really like the styling of the Edge, and I love the tight turning radius so it doesn’t feel like I’m driving my truck around. I did a preliminary search, and didn't see a "buyers guide" or similar post, so I thought I might solicit advise here. I’m looking at the used market, and would love some suggestions and/or warnings to look out for. Particularly, I found a used 2007 SEL plus that’s fully loaded, but has 97,xxx miles on the odo already – it’s in meticulous condition, and the miles are all work related highway miles. Are there major maintenance items that would be necessary very soon after purchase, if I went with it? Are there any major updates in the car between the years (aside from the latest ecoboost) that should play a role in my car search? Thanks for any help you guys may be able to offer.

Jeff They didn't add Sync until 2008. My Ford Touch was added in 2011 along with the new engines. The early AWD models (07-09) had some issues with the PTU seals leaking but once properly repaired they seem to be ok. FWD models won't have that problem. There was a problem with wheel bearings that requires the trailing arms to be replaced. It's covered if it's under warranty, otherwise it's several hundred bucks.
