Well I was devorced once when I was younger and poor, I think "selling" the wife now might cost me dearly... (and really I traded up if you know what I mean) As far as AWD I live in ND, and its very nice to have one vehicle with 4 wheel drive. I drive a mustang year round and I still get to work when visibility is zero, so you don't need it, but it is worth the cost in my opinion. It is a mix of snow and frezzing rain tonight turning to more snow tomorrow, gotta love spring in ND. I really like the Edge for what it is, ride feels like my dad's new F-150. The cyclone V6 has been around in one form or another for ages (and for good reason) this may be the last year its available. She drives about 7K miles a year so gas costs are not really an issue. Compared to the Equinox I like the seats in the Ford better, and the driver's position is a bit higher which we both like. Niether of us liked the Escape or the CR-V that my mom drives.

Yeah the lift gate option is $500, my wife is short and so it's probalby well worth it. The other 4K is leather interior, the passanger seat is a full power seat as well, heated seats, and rear view camera, all of which I could care less about. Wife has to have leather.... Well anyway comparables in the area are similar. This one does not have myford touch, as far as I am concerned thats a bonus. The 32,000 is the "sale price" at 0% financing, nothing down, just take the keys and go. If I went with normal financing and 20% down for 48 months at the going interest rate it is the same cost after 4 years even with the extra $1500 rebate. Also it hapens to be almost the exact same price as an Equinox AWD V6 with similar options I got quoted from the GM dealer (they don't negotiate pricing either).

I can't stand my local dealership, thier salesment have all been there 1 or 2 years and thier finace guy is not someone I trust to write up a note for car loan. I am going up north to a dealer in MN, and they are much nicer to work with. Plus I wold reather support them then a national chain like Lithia. Anyways they found a vehicle in another dealership and gave me the VIN and x-paln pricing. There is a $1000 rebate and the $750 rebate form the brochure mailer. They had to get it, and install an autostart and I want all weather matts so I have a few details to haggle over at this point. According to Edmounds.com for an Edge with the same options the National averge price is just under $32,000 after rebates. So its an "average deal" Which is fine if they want to be just an "average dealership"...

If it were my car I would be on board with that! It's my wife's choice, it's what she wants. I found a couple used and one lease turn in. Still looking close to 25k, used market around here is pretty thin.

Thanks 1edge, If I do the standard math with your invoice price I get 27,500. If I apply the same to my options I get the following. The minimum to get leather seats requires the 204a package we also added a power lift gate. MSRP is 35,935 and Invoice is 33,451. So "if" the dealer was $500 over invoice with 2500 in total rebates the price would be 33,951 -1000 -1500 = 31,451 If I go with X-paln pricing I get 33,451 - (0.4 * 33,451) + 275 -1000 - 1500 = 31,092 to do this I would have to spend $50 for a Mustang owners club membership. I am a graduate student so I think I can qualify for another $500 rebate. No sure on that one. Am I missing anything? Is there anything else negotiable on the price?

Hello everyone, My wife and I have settled on our next vehicle. 2013 Edge SEL AWD with 204a pacakge. Options are: heated Lether seats and a power lift gate. So the intial price quote from the dealer was $32,200 with conventional financing or $33,700 with 0% through Ford Motor Credit. We may have dealer put in 2 way Astro start system as well. How does this price compare? I plan to haggle a bit but I don't know how much wiggle room there is. Thanks!
