It's that way because they do the paint in 3 steps as opposed to one or two, and the paint costs more. All paint jobs are not the same.

the $500.00 is well worth it though! awesome color and i get so many compliments.

On your cargo carrier mat picture, I noticed an edge is on the side of the mat that is next to the back of the second row seats. If you have the second row seats down flat how does this lip line up with the second row seats. In other words does it get in the way if you have a large box or other large stuff being loaded in from the rear?

not sure about the lip...i will very rarely put the seats down since my husband has a truck and we use that if we had to lug something around. wouldnt see it as being a huge problem though.

My new edge is Red and I love it! Firefox metallic red is what it's called.

White Sand is more like a pearl white...not really creamy color, thats more like the horrible creme brulee...which i did like...but compared to the White Sand, like night and day. when the sun hits it, there this little shimmer...really nice...as for 500.00 option for it...not fair!

Glad to see so many fans out there. Also happy that Ford expanded the colors available for '08. I got mine in White Sand with Camel interior, roof rails, 18" painted alum. wheels (sharp!). After 3 Explorers I needed a change and the Edge fit the bill. Rock on Edgers!

My White Sand with 18 chrome app. wheels, nice! Its night and day with those wheels. Love this car...gets so many head turns and compliments. The best was after we picked it up and stopped at a light, this lady was in some Nissan SUV rolled down her window and said love your car! thats when i knew i made a great choice...so glad did not go with Creme Brulee...when i see them on the road now...they just look awful...go for the White Sand...awesome color...

Part II Weathertech Floor Liners

I did my best with the picks, some need to be rotated, you may need to download and rotate in a pic program. If you have kids...for the long haul...definately get these...we had a rainy weekend this past weekend and sure what glad i got my liners...my camel carpet would have been trashed. Do you see how its like molded up on the edges...really is a good protector and barrier then normal mats. hope this helps you....wish i had pics before i purchased! eventhough still satisfied...just for color selection.

i will take some pics now and post. they are a little darker...but believe me they look great! i think 100% better then black. be back with pics

Part II Weathertech Floor Liners

Part 1...hope this works and helps. WEathertech tan floor liners

Can you post pictures of your Weather Tech floor liners? Would like to see them in front seats, back seats and cargo. Thought I read somewhere that their tan doesn't really match the Camel on the Edge?

Go for the Weather Tech Floor Liners for the 08 Edge. I just got them and they are awesome! they cover so much area then just standard mats and look awesome. I have the camel interior so I went with the camel floor liners and they look great, glad i didnt go with black. got the camel cargo liner to from w-tech and thats awesome as well. Little pricey, but well worth in protecting the easily soiled camel carpet.

I have the creme - and it really looks a soft yellowy white.... definitely not white.

 

White Sand is white - but not a stark white..

 

The pearl? - do you mean the sage ? - its greeny grey - often pretty in the sun - I have seen a few and its actually a good colour if you silver colours but don't want the usual steely colours..

 

Hope that helps

go for the white sand tri 08...i was wanting the creme brulee but the way the light reflected on the creme when i saw, it was way to yellowish. I just purchased the white sand with 18 chrome wheels...awesome and I get so many compliments on it. although i think your looking at 2007's. i liked that puddy color they did away with in 08.

Just got my Edge, it is awesome

MSRP - 30495

E-Priced before going to dealership - $28,889

Addt Discount - $ 28,500

CONQUEST and Cash Back $ 2,500

TOTAL $ 26,000 before tax

This is for White Tri Coat SEL, 18 Chrome wheels and Leather and Sirius...

DOes it sound like a good deal? other dealers wouldnt touch this price.

The conquest cash made the deal for me. I drove home our new 2007 Edge SEL Plus last night. Now I'm waiting for the dealer who refused to honor the conquest rebate to call me to see if I'm ready to buy yet.

 

Potential buyers of the remaining 2007 models should be aware that there are a lot of incentives right now to the dealer to move these cars. If you're paying the invoice price minus the customer rebates (2000 + 1000 in my situation), you're paying to much. I have very good knowledge that there is at least another $1040 in dealer incentives in the form of spifs that we're not suppose to know about. Something to think about when you're negotiating.

 

Good Luck!

I agree, we werent planning on buying this weekend either. I live in NJ. one dealer never offered the conquest (i didnt even know about it!) the one that won our business did offer it which fell right into my budget! every little thing helps. Let me tell you my car was $30,455. The dealer gave me an e price of $28,889 and i have to look at my paperwork but i believe he took it down to $28,000 before the $2,500 in incentatives. gave me more then i thought on my trade so it all worked out. I cant wait till the first dealer or 2 i went to call me back as well! they fought me hard on how they cant bring my cost down anymore and how i was getting such a great deal. Since i went for the white sand it was even $500.00 more then when i spoke to the 1st 2 dealers, at that point i wanted a no charge color. they wouldnt budge the $30.00 a month extra i didnt want on my car payment. Go to a few dealers im telling you. I found a dealer an hour away, but boy it was worth it...stinks i wont be able to take advantage of my 5 free oil changes and service since its too far away. but i got exactly what i wanted way cheaper then everyone else and they were so nice and didnt pressure me at all! shop around and dont let them bully you!

Go for the White Sand...looks awesome and I get so many compliments on it. I went with Camel LEather, looks awesome. I am afraid of dirt with the camel, but will be getting the good mats and all of that. The one thing I didnt like about the stone interior, was I think the steering wheel is light gray, which i didnt like. in the camel its all black with this awesome stitching! awesome car. go with the 18 inch chrome wheels, worth the extra money.

All I wanted was the Creme Brulee since they came out in 07. Nothing compares to the White Sand though. The Creme Brulee has a yellow tint to it which turned me off. The White Sand is more of a pearl white then a stark white...looks awesome with chrome wheels. Would definatley recommend you compare...telling you...go with the white sand...easier on the eyes...

Purchased my Edge SEL White Sand with 18 inch chrome wheels and camel leather...Awesome! Everybody thinks its the nicest looking car. we got this lady on the way home from the dealership roll down her window in her high end SUV to say "Love your car" So happy with our purchase, and we got a great deal...

Hello All,

 

This looks like a great forum! I'm getting ready in the next few days to purchase a new crossover type vehicle. A 2007 Edge SEL Plus will probably be the choice based on price, features and quality. Ford is currently offering a $2000 cash rebate. I also found, on the Forddirect.com website, an additional $1000 Conquest bonus customer cash offer. Based on the fine print, I can combine this offer with the cash rebate. I mentioned this to the Internet Sales Manager at my local dealership and he politely informed me that the conquest cash was made available via a coupon mailing and without the coupon, I'm out of luck.

 

Does anybody have or know where I can get a Ford Conquest $1000 coupon. It appears it is being offered in the Northern California area.

 

The offer I have is Invoice - $2000 rebate - $1000 Conquest Cash - $963 discount on the navigation option + Tax, License, Title and Fees (can't wait to see what they try to sneak in here)

 

Any help would greatly appreciated

 

Mike

Let me tell you. I have been looking at the Edge for a while now. I found a dealership that had exactly what I wanted (an hour away). In talking numbers over the phone before we made the trek up there, he mentioned this incentive (Conquest) I believe to move closer to make the sale, since if they werent going to meet my budgeted monthly payment, we were going to wait a few more months to save more for a down payment. a few days before that we were at another dealership and they didnt mention anything about it. My husband just brought his registration for his dodge and we got $ 2,500 in rebates off the bat (1,000 conquest, and the $1,500). No coupon needed. Im telling you the dealerships are hurting right now and they will offer what they can to close the deal. I got a great price on my edge! It took a lot of talking and alot of "maybe we need to wait a few more months to save more for a down payment" to get our payment down. let me tell you shop around they need your business and most, not all will work with you 100%..
