Just wanted to introduce myself.
We bought a 2010 Edge Sport Ruby Red a few weeks back. It only has 32000 miles on it. We picked it up for just under $22K. It does not have the pimpy 22" polished wheels, as every one we looked with those wheels at had horrible curb rash. People cannot drive. It does not have the nav system either.
It does has the "loose" driver's seat, but it's not bad yet. Otherwise, it seems like everything is in good shape. The glass roof runs fairly quickly and has no leaks. Paint is nice as well.
Seems like there are three major problems with these vehicles form what I've read:
1) Brake booster failure.
2) PCM/Coils failure
3) Rusting fuel tanks.
I plan to put some black wheels on it to replace the horrid 20" chrome wheels. I've already yanked the bumper, dissembled the grille from it, and I'm in the process of painting the chrome grill gloss black.
I also want to put some H&R springs on there one day to get rid of the jacked up look.
I plan to hit any rusty areas underneath with some rust converter, then flood the bottom of the doors, tailgate, rockers, wheel arches and hood edges with fluid film before winter.
I've done lots of work on my Fords in the past and I'm not afraid to get my hands dirty on this one.
The fleet is at 4 now- 2000 F150, 2003 Cobra, 2010 Edge, 2011 Escape.
