  1. i can honestly say if they did a coupe/EDGE like above (i like the scoop) i would buy it. (better have the same engine though, or better. and a SIX speed stick) UNDER $20K though)
  2. now how about a darker shade of white background :shades: aside from that it's growing on me.
  3. looks like my commuter car ooops!!!! double post comming, sorry.
  4. i've almost alway's changed my own oil. sometimes i'll get a coupon in the mail (years ago) and take it somewhere. once i took my new truck in to the dealer for a oil change ($10 bucks for the first year) and after an hour or 2 left with new filter and new oil. couple day's later i check the level and the level is WELL above the fill mark, and was DARK as could be. much darker than the 3000 mile oil they removed. i changed it myself a few day's later just to feel good, and never took it to them again.
  5. that price on the 50K mile EDGE SEL didn't seem bad, as long as the vehicle's in great condition. i'm with you on the miles. 50K doesn't seem bad at all (to me that meant quite a few of long trips) which i would prefer on a vehicle rather than one w/ 12K/year that's been driven in town stop light to stop light. i put lots of miles on my new car (Hyundai Accent SE hatch) and it's awesome with 34.5K miles on it in 16 months. i do know if i was offered $22K for my 07 EDGE SELplus that i would not take it. simply because it's still like new to me even with 27K miles on it. BTW i've seen the new ones advertising with 0% interest for 60 months. not a bad deal. creates a payment though, but OOOOOH does that new car smell goooooood!!!!! good luck.
  6. my 07 hasnt' had any problems. kinda. had to have a plug/coil replaced. and i did notice some fluid leaking around under the EDGE when i did my last oil change, i gotta have the wife take it in to get fixed. pretty sure it's the PTU.
  7. i've never really cared for the Goo*yea*s either. i'm probably sticking w/ the OEM conti's mine came with, we're having good luck with them (we're at about 26,500 miles) and they look great still. did fantastic in the snow, ice, etc... no complaints with them as of yet.
  8. i changed mine at 5,000 miles. then 5,000 increments (easy to remember) i've stuck w/ 5w20 fomoco semi/synth.
  9. got letter today. guess i'll get to plan an appoint.ment
  10. hmmmm??? wonder if this would explain our EDGE's heating. sometimes it takes Especially long, sometimes not.
  11. can't help ya!!! i looked at it, then decided i must follow the rest of the world and get the iPhone. No regrets.
  12. i have yet to hear the kids yell at me to move the seat up. i traded a 02 tahoe off for the edge and there was very little difference in the width. of course we do miss that 3rd row seat now. the kids love that the rear seats recline, definatel plus for longer trips. interior is VERY nice.
  13. WOW, i think when i change pads on our's i may do the lines. not a bad price at all. I would love to get rid of that "Numb" feeling the OEM's have. i've changed my sportbike lines to the SS and Love them.
  14. i bought a new 2000 honda accord and while nice, it was nothing special what so ever. my 07 EDGE is awesome, beautiful, get's decent mpg, roomy, etc...have NOT regretted it for even a moment.
  15. i'm sure the S4 drove great. if you get a chance "floor" the EDGE, it REALLY wakes it up love the AWD. i don't get to drive our EDGE all that much, couple/few times a month (it's the wifes) but everytime i get to, it's like the first time i drove it. very nice vehicle.
  16. i asked the wife tonight what i'd been using, she said just soap and water. i used the tireshine on our old tahoe. worked great on it though.
  17. i just spray tireshine on mine, and wipe it down. won't wax leave a residue?
  18. techron = good stuff (walmart/autozone/oreillys/etc...) i've got a bike i use at the track and it runs great. but this weekend i put in about 20% of the recommended amount (1 bottle for 12 gallons, i used maybe 1/5 bottle for 5 gallons) and it ran even better. after i ran low on gas i mixed another tank. in the cars i try and run a bottle every year or 20,000 miles. i did a Pro job, from a quicky lube place and paid $60 bucks a few years ago on a 02 Tahoe, couldn't tell a difference.
  19. you are correct, you will LOSE big time when you drive it off the lot. i bought a 07 just as the 08's were here. i had a trade in that they gave me $12K for (the best i could get anywhere else was $8K for the trade, it was when gas was near $4gal.) 15 months later, and 20,000 miles later, i got offered $18K for "trade-in" w/ a flawless vehicle. NO, i didn't take the trade (it was an 09 SRT-8 Charger the wife wanted it) luckily they wouldn't make a decent enough trade so we kept the EDGE (glad we kept it ) car depreciation depresses me. (unless i'm the one buying)
  20. not sure if it's related, but my wife 2 weeks ago was driving down the highway and the vehicle "just died" she pulled to the side, restarted it. drove a little way's and it was running VERY ROUGH for a bit, then smoothed out. she continued on a few more miles. it DIED again. she took it to trade my son cars. next day she get's it to dealer for them to see what was wrong. it was the coil and plug (looking at engine it was the front left) it now runs smooth again. we have 20,000 miles on the 07.
  21. :plusone: i like it better than the chromed wheeled ones. i wanted to do the copper color but was afraid after a couple years i would get sick of it, but they still look good after all this time. (we had a amber fire (orangeish) dodge truck and after seeing them on the road they don't look so hot)
  22. Nice!!! how did for Fix the brakes? ( i anxiously await our wearing out and putting on some better ones)
