Hello all, I'm in the market for an entry level SUV as our first family car. Tried many different crossovers and then by fluke we tried out an Edge. I've always loved the styling of it (esp the sport) but never thought of it as an affordable vehicle, which is why I was surprised when we came across this one.
Looking for advice before emotions take over. What should I be looking for? I plan to take it to a 3rd party mechanic for a once over, but what should I, personally, be looking for (recalls, common problems)?
2012 Ford Edge Limited for $24, 990 (already dropped $1000). 3.5L with AWD. 54, 000km. Has pretty much everything you could think of (?). SYNC, Nav, Pano, Power everything, 18inch rims, backup cam, on and on...
Drove it and it felt great to drive. Reviewed the carproof (Canadian here) with the dealer and it looks like one owner, no accidents, serviced at the same dealer we're dealing with. Bumper is scratched up but dealer said they'd repaint it.
We think it's a good deal but I what to know what you expert Edge owners say. If all goes well and you agree it's good, I'll be a regular member on the forum. I've already spent $5000 (theoretically) in mods already!
I truly appreciate any help provided.
