SoCalGlide

That's too bad, though I've not bought from Sunrise, they are very supportive of the SoCal Powerstroke club and have hosted many events for them. On the flip side, we had a great buying experience last weekend at Ford of Ventura. Like others alluded to, you need to do your homework and crunch the numbers before you go in. I knew what I was willing to pay, what I wanted and could reasonably expect for our trade-in, and what additional cash we could put down. I did the math, came up with the monthly payment based on the net price I wanted to pay. This plays right into what they want to hear. I told them what we wanted to pay, and let them juggle the numbers any way they saw fit. They made a couple attempts to get more, that's their job, but we got what we wanted and more. From the time we were greeted on the lot until we closed the sale we didn't feel uncomfortable, stressed, or unduly pressured. It doesn't hurt that there are a boatload of 2014's on lots in SoCal, with the 2015's coming.

We just bought a new 2014 Edge, and I've found that forums like this are often the best source of information for a new owner. We're a Ford family thru and thru. We traded a 2000 Mustang GT in on the Edge, and in the not too distant past we've also owned a Taurus, a Ranger, and currently a 2007 F350 SD that is just the latest in a long line of F series pickups we've owned. So far, we're really liking the Edge. It's an SEL, with the leather package, panoramic vista roof, power lift gate, and the infamous MFT. I'm almost old enough to remember when a radio and heater were options, so some of this technology in cars today is pretty incredible. We call her "Ruby":
