I feel the same, the CRV is more comparable to an Escape. As a matter of fact, a few months ago, a friend that had FMC products most of her life, went out and bought a CRV. She likes the CRV, but admits that she should have gone with the Escape. She said the CRV is nice, but feels everything inside is very cheap, xompared to the Escape.

Sounds good, looking to see some pics posted when you get it.

Color combo should look great !

With multi levels of heating, I prefer to have the option of turning them off myself.

I don't know how good these programs are, but people are using them. Try negotiating without mentioning the program, this is end of month time, and salesmen are all looking to get salesman of the month award (most sales). You can usually do best if you take something that they have in stock. The sooner they sell "in stock" vehicles, they eliminate their payout.

LOL

Good question, might want to google that, or go to ask.com.

The Edge, in my book. Then again, I rather support the good old USA instead of the "Pearl Harbor

Bombers" !

How about.... DCHBAG

???????? Is that what you think of yourself ?????????

On our MKS, recomended oil change is every 7,500 miles, to keep the warranty valid. Spoke to tech,

he said he would change every 5,000 miles, so this is what I have been doing.

:stats:

How about EDG GEE :hyper:

I put Goodyear assurance years ago on a Five Hundred my wife had, and was VERY HAPPY with the ride, handling etc. Don't know how they will last, got a new car about 6 month later.

Our dealership ( Maplecrest, Union NJ) said they are now putting nitrogen in tires, psi does nor fluctuate

in cold temps like air .

Don't go to the dealer to get the code and pay any money. My sister in law bought a used Fird fie hundred last year, did not have keyless entry code, the dealer wanted $99 to get the code for her, this was Loman Ford in Woodbridge, NJ. Our Lincoln dealership ( Maplecrest, Union NJ :hyper: ) did it for free, but I googled How to get Keyless code for Ford 500, and it said it was under fuse box under the dashboard.

We had the same problem with my wife's 09 MKS. Turns out, thet had to replace trans sensors, now all is well. When it did bang into gear, it felt as if we were jsut rear ended.

Here is a list of replaced sensors:

AA5Z-7M101-B SENSOR 538-295

7T4Z-7B210-A PIN - R 231298

AA5Z-7H103-A SENSOR 479975

9E9Z-7H557-B SENSOR 446858

I realize that this is for a MKS, not a Edge oe MKX, but if you pass this info on to service, it might give them a heads up.

Hope it helps.

From what I can see, you bought it at Tom's Ford, Keyport NJ ? We delt with them for 17 years, switched to a MKS in '09, before Tom's started with Lincolns. Maplecrest FLM in Union is excellent, and we were

also happy at Tom's. Sal in service has always been helpful.

Congrats on the new ride. Winter in NJ is really pretty wicked this year, 30 inches at Chritmas a few storms around 10-15, and yesterday, we got another

21 inches. Where in NE Ohio R U located ? Have 1 friend that lives in Northfield, south of Cleveland, and another buddy that is in Burton. Would love to move out there, but the wife say's "no way, jose". :wacko:

Joe

:happy feet:

Congrats on the New Edge, I'm sure that you will love it.

We got $1000. Discount for being Costco members.

What procedure did you have to go through for the Costco discount?

Joe

Oh my god!

What was I thinking ?

Is that that what that slot is!? I totally forgot about that. No kidding!

It's the hard drive that went away.

Wish that they didn't get rid of the hard drive. Have it, and luv it in my wife's 09 MKS.

I wonder if they will go back to the hard drive ???

A similar thing happened when I took delivery of my last vehicle - shipped from Japan. Paint condition aside, all the glass had water spots. Sea breeze? Wouldn't come off with windex (I can't believe they told you that). Zaino's Z-12 Glass Polish did the trick. Check it out

Some friends have told me that Mr. Clean, magic eraser does the trick. Can't say, never had to try it.

One trick that I learned from a neighbor, is when doing windows after washing the car, use a detailing mist, Maguires, Mothers, etc. on windows and windshield - it works, and DOES NOT smear with wipers.

The new listings for the IIHS top pics are out and even though almost every other Ford is on the list, the Edge and MKX are not. I wonder why?

Try and figure this one out. The MKS, which the wife drives, has a BAMR, and it made the list ,

go figure ????

Congradulations on your birthday present, and happy and healthy birthday to you. I've got you beat by another 20 years, and still feel like I'm 40. Let us know when your present arrives.

Happy holiday to everyone.

As Doris Day would say - "Que Sera, Sera" !

I believe in supporting the USA, and buy American !

True, AWD will bring more value upon resale, will be better in snow than FWD, and AWD will also provide better traction on wet roads ( rain), and also loose pavement ie country gravel roads. AWD will give less mpg, make ther car a bit heavier, it;s a choice you have ti make yourself, I live in central NJ, and would not be without 1 AWD vehicle. To confuse you even more, lets go back 25 years - how many

AWD vehicles were there ??? We all survived, and backthen, there weren't even all that many FWD vehicles !

FWD or AWD - a major factor is where you live. Do you live where you might get a lot of snow?

If so, I would suggest AWD, nothing beats it.

Hey Dave,

Don't know of any Edge owners with really high miles, but I think if you keep service up as in the maintenence portion of your owners manual, you should have no problem. Had a '95 Explorer that I sold to a friend for their daughter, and it had 140 K back then, and she now has over 200K on it now, and still runs strong !

Enjoy your ride !

Joe
