I picked up my 2011 Ford Edge Limited this evening. Talking about sensory overload!!! But I like it! Didnt spend much time with it this evening but I am sure over the next few days I will start learning the controls and everything else.

It seems all salesmen are different. Mine I have called every 5 to 6 days to check. I have even stopped in at the dealership and he brings the shipment up on the computer and shows me the dates.

Dumpy, that was the hard part we were not sure what the Earth color would actually end up like. It was #2 on our list for that reason. Good choice of color though! With the snow in Edmonton and Calgary the AWD is definately a must for the winter. I have a 4WD Escape right now and it is doing its job well.

not sure what the price difference is between US and CAN but I got my limited for $35k + 5% tax. This was on a Limited AWD with an MSRP of $43k. There were promotions on in December when I ordered it. The invoice on this one was $40k.

I placed my order on December 1 and it is on route to Alberta. Checked with the dealer and on Sunday it was in Wisconsin due to arrive Feb 4. Limited, AWD, Black with standard 18" rims.

Is the $38,289 from the Ford.ca or the ford.com site? the MSRP on the Ford.ca site for the AWD limited plus the touring package is $43,050 ($41,650 + $1,400). Your $38,290 seems to be a deal. The Invoice on this would be around $41,500 (includes the freight fee) for the dealership prior to their bonuses from Ford.

Greener, congrats on you new purchase. I am still waiting for mine. Still 6 to 8 weeks away though:-(

it sounds like they are fixing the problem. I am honestly not concerned about this. I joined this forum before I decided to make my purchase and this did not change my mind.

i hope so. it was the one thing I wasnt sure if we would get value from. Now I can see for myself!!!:-)

mushroom88 .....yes I am in Edmonton. The wait a few payments is also what I was told. Thank you

hancop, I am fine with you stating this. However, i did get the $4000 off my negotiated price. I just talked to my dealer again this morning to confirm this. They have done many of these allowances and they have done them the way I explained. Maybe the Toronto dealerships do it differently. Not sure. I have had two dealers in Edmonton tell me they take the $4000 off after we agree to a negotiated price and that the Dealer gets the allowance since it is a Factory to Dealership allowance not a Factory to Bank allowance.

Okay, so I just talked to my dealership and it is the Dealership who gets the $4000. My dealership taked the $4000 off the negotiated price prior to applying tax. They have done many of these and there has never been an issue. Not sure how the dealerships are applying the credit in Toronto but I would ask them more questions. I would hope that your dealers are not just pocketing the $4000. He said this is a Factory to DEALERSHIP allowance. My dealer is taking the negotiated price less COSTCO less the FINACE ALLOWANCE then applies fees and tax. This is the $ that I am financing.

Mushroom88 - I went with the $4000 extended term financing on my 2011 Edge Limited. But others on the forum are saying that the $4000 goes to the bank and not to the customer. Do you know how your dealer is applying the credit? The way I understood it was that the bank would get the $4000 after the second loan payment and that $4000 would be applied to the principal balance of the loan. I also plan to pay out the loan with another one at a rate that is a lot less than the dealership negotiated one.
