torquer

I tried to place my order with the dealer today, however when they select the option 66p for the performance brakes it zeroes out all dollar amounts and they couldn't give me a price. They asked me if I had heard what the price would be :p No idea when we'll be able to order the "late availability" brake package. I don't care how long it takes to build, I just want to get my order in! They were offering $500 over invoice. Other dealers in the area will hold at MSRP or above.

Ford's stop/start is seamless, smooth, and harmless to the engine and drivetrain. It can make a decent impact to your mileage as well if you do a lot of sitting at stoplights. You'll barely notice it unless you have loud exhaust.

Unfortunately you have to live in China to get these differentiating features. Pass. Some of this is due to local market appeal. Some is local regulations in whichever country its in. Some is due to backasswards regs here in the states. Thats why a lot of cars haven't moved to LED headlights here, as an example. Thank your federal gubmint for that one. Believe me automakers would prefer to standardize globally. Ford has been trying to do that for a number of years now. Doesn't do them any good to have to use two different (or more) parts bins

F'ing Wheelspin, Dude. Thats what FWD is lol

Personally I'd be very happy with a mild tune that'll work with 91 octane (we have 92 here but I travel to CA with crap 91 gas often). A little better response on throttle tip in, perhaps some adjusted shift points, and 30 lb feet of torque would make a nice improvement and hopefully not push it to the edge of drivability or longevity

Boom.

Everyone is right about the 5 year free trial so its definitely worth it for that. I've had it on several vehicles for years and here are my impressions: 1. The weather map is actually pretty useful while traveling if you want to see where big storms are for safety's sake. Just say "Weather Map" and it will show you doppler radar. Its actually pretty cool. 2. The travel link software is useful so long as you're in an area where they actually have info. This is especially useful on long trips where theres an accident or construction way ahead of you. It will actually warn you proactively and offer to let you "avoid" the issue and route you around it. Super useful on road trips. If you live in a high traffic area like Seattle, roads where its super slow moving will show up yellow or red. Also useful. 3. Sports scores and other "data" services are kind of meh. Most don't work while the vehicle is in motion so it doesn't help your passengers. 4. Its still subject to the same old issues with MFT - specifically it is slow and sometimes not intuitive. It doesn't do anything your phone can't do, but its a little "safer" at least theoretically than looking at your phone. To each his own, but definitely worth the cost (free).

I think I paid about $139 shipped

I took a trip this past weekend that was just under 2 hours each direction. Averaged 25.9MPG according to the trip computer. 92 octane, Sport, standard wheels, etc etc

By law (at least in most states), warranties and leases start at the mileage on the odometer as reported to the DMV during the sale, not at 0. Plus one on this though - you should receive a discount. If they want sticker (or god forbid even more), tell them you want a car with less than 15 miles on it or you walk.

No worries - miscommunications are common on the interwebz :p

I never said they can literally just go take a car, just that they can sell from another dealer's lot. Sometimes that involves trading another car from the lot of the "taker" and sometimes it involves an inventory credit back to the dealer who is giving up the car. Its not like they are taking them in the night They are strongly encouraged by Ford to allow these trades and off-lot sales, though, because Ford ultimately usually owns the inventory anyway and is more interested in any sale than any particular dealer only selling from their own on site inventory. Of course both dealers have to agree to it - I never intended to suggest otherwise.

Rules may be different in your state but they absolutely can do so in MN, WA, and CA - all states I've purchased Fords in. In fact, my local dealership will "hide" vehicles they've purchased specifically to avoid other dealers poaching their vehicles. Remember that most dealers don't actually own a lot of their inventory. Ford provides vehicles to dealers so they don't have to pay up front. Imagine how financially burdensome it would be to start a new dealership and have to pay in cash for potentially hundreds of new vehicles for your lot. The financial arrangements with the factory on dealer inventory, warranty repairs, etc are all extensive and confusing. This is how it is with a lot of factory dealerships and not limited to just cars. My family has been in the copier business for ages and rarely do they have to actually buy showroom inventory from the factory. It is provided under something like a lease agreement at least for a period of time. That way the dealer can have inventory without a huge outlay.

Also dealers can sell from each other's lots and trade vehicles back and forth. The Edge could have originally been delivered to a dealer in another state, hundreds of miles away. It could have then been traded between dealers for other vehicles before ending up at your dealership. Thats pretty common. Dealers can sell directly from the lots of other dealers or they can "trade" vehicles in order to make sales. My last car was a 2014 Fusion Hybrid that got sold to me from a lot on the other side of the state and racked up a few hundred miles before it got to me. The hair clip probably didn't come from a customer. Dealerships hire "courier drivers" who drive cars back and forth between dealers and auctions. i'd bet it came from one of them. Otherwise, probably a test drive vehicle as suggested above.

You only have the auto high beams if you have the lane keep assist as well. Both functions use the special forward facing camera mounted in front of the rear view mirror. You can see the lens if you look head on into the windshield in that area.
