Fair price of 2016 Ford Edge with some packages
akirby replied to Xin Yang's topic in Buying, Leasing & Ordering
So they're charging $38,123 before tax and rebates and that's below invoice. Looks like there is an extra $1k in rebates too. That looks like a great price if they don't try to add anything other than licensing. Pretty sure that $5250 includes the extra $500 already. -

Can you post a picture of that written offer? If it actually says $8K in factory rebates then I call Shenanigans. -

X plan is $39,118. Minus $4250 incentives accordingly to the dealer website puts you at $34,868. 7% tax puts you at $37,309. $36,208 out the door is a very good price for that vehicle assuming no trade-in. -

I gave some advice in the other topic, but we need more info. Who is the dealer and what is the zip code? Which model Edge (SEL, Titanium, etc.)? What color (some have extra charges)? If you're looking at a specific vehicle what is the last 4 digits of the VIN number? You can look up the vehicles online at ford.com to find the one you like, then we can give you the exact price range you should expect. -
You should never pay MSRP for a high volume vehicle like a Fusion. Use the code above, go to Fordpartner.com and use the dealer inventory search to locate the vehicle at your local dealer and get the X plan price which is about $175 above invoice, give or take and should be at least $1K - $2K below MSRP. That price +/- $300 is where you should end up (before any factory incentives). To that price you'll have to add tax, tag and title fees and a dealer documentation fee (additional dealer profit) which can be anywhere from $75 - $700 or more.

You might want to try sync 2.2.

Looking for advice on new A/S tires - Michelin Premier LTX?
akirby replied to trockli's topic in Wheels & Tires
Never had a bad set of Michelins. Only downside is they're typically more expensive but you get what you pay for. -
Just make sure you don't actually request a pin - you have to show proof of employment or membership in the group for that code.

Forscan users test Silent Mode Function?
akirby replied to jmr061's topic in 2015+ Edge & MKX Generation II
Stalking....... -
The OP says it's not working. It would be good to doublecheck the settings though.
-
In Hotlanta batteries rarely last more than 3 years for me.
-
Probably a weak battery regardless of what they told you. If you're doing a lot of short trips a weak battery doesn't have time to recover from the cranking load. If it happens again get a new battery. Everybody should have a portable jump starter and a modern battery charger nowadays especially if you do short trips and/or don't drive every day.
-
Mustang yes. Edge - nope.
-
It happens to us on dry days too. I think the calibration is just too sensitive.
-
You could test the speedometer accuracy by setting your speed to 60 mph exactly and timing between mile markers. Should be exactly one minute.
-
Shouldn't you take it back to let the dealer at least try to fix the problems before you give up? You shouldn't have to do it but one trip to the dealer isn't that big of a deal.

Yes - ours will alert when there is nothing there but a low curb. And almost every time we're in the drive thru. Very annoying. Our 2008 edge had a permanent off setting but I think that went away around the 2011 model year. It's not terrible because you can just hit the dash button but yes it's annoying.
-
All you can do is push the button on the dash to temporarily disable them. There is no permanent setting. Same problem with our MKX. I think they need a software update to desensitize the sensors.

HardWIRE not hardware. Both must be connected via USB - it doesn't work via bluetooth only.

I was able to download version 3.8 from the website several months ago. -
Both AA and CPMrequire hardwires at this time.

SYNC 3 and CarPlay/Android Auto Information
akirby replied to jmr061's topic in Audio, Backup, Navigation & SYNC
1 - no but if you screw it up and brick the system they may or may not fix it under warranty. Not likely but possible with any unauthorized update. 2 - I would think so but no way to know for sure. 3 - Not if the software is available OTA -
The APIM has a separate extended warranty.

I think the 2.7L is the same except for tuning and being rotated 90 degrees. Or is it 270 degrees?
-
I was referring to your statement that if you could get the v6 ecoboost truck engine that would be a different story - just pointing out that the 2.7L ecoboost V6 truck engine IS available in the Edge sport, but if that's outside your price range then the 3.5L V6 is a great choice.
