Dude, whats your zip code???

Hello all I am new to this site and was just looking around. We are looking to buy an 08 edge limited here in mass and was at the dealer

but the car they have comming in won't be here till july 7 th so we couldn't iron out a price till they know what july incentives will be. Does anyone here have info on what july will bring? right now they where offering 0% financing +1500 + 1000 for a competor rebate.

 

right now the deal we had was going to be invoice minus rebates. I got a look at the build sheet and saw the axz and employee pricing and want to know how I can get them down to those numbers minus rebates? is it possible to buy for under dealer invoice and if so I need some

advice and tips...

 

also I plan on selling our truck out right but if the time line gets pushed up and I have to trade it in the will not give me a fare price because they only called a couple of used car lots to see if they where interested in our 04 avalanche w/103,000 miles and they say nobody want that truck so I get to take it hard on the trade. not fare as I have bought 6 new vehicles from them so far and just want a far shake on our trade if need be..they offered us $8,000 and we need to get $10,000 trade in kbb is $12,000 any any thoughts on this?

Gosh, GM, huh??? Here is waindow stcker for the Edge FWD LMTD w/PANORAMIC VISTA ROOF. No it does not actually get hot in the car because of the vista roof. It's some special kind of glass. You have the options of AWD or FWD in an SE, SEL & LMTD. FRW is cheaper and the SE model is the cheapest. It cost almost $2K to get the Vista Roof. The A&Z pricing on this perticular model is $31,479.45. The cheapest A&Z I was able to find with the Vista roof was $27,579.75. The vista is not an option on the SE models. You would also get the standard rebate. I have it at work, but it ranges from $1500-$3000 or low APR...blahblah. Hope this gets you to become a Ford guy:)

24 Vehicle Engine Information

Actual mileage will vary with options, driving conditions, driving habits and vehicle's condition. Results reported to EPA indicate that the majority of vehicles with these estimates will achieve between 13 and 19 mpg in the city and between 19 and 29 mpg on the highway.

For Comparison Shopping all vehicles classified as have been issued mileage ratings from 08 to 31 mpg city and 12 to 29 mpg highway.

The 08 AWD Edge SEL gets 15 city 22 hwy mpg. I seriously doubt you are going to keep it under lowering your RPM's would work, since the highway mileage is better. The FWD SEL would only get you about 2 more MPG. There is nothing you can add to the vehicle that would get you better gas mileage. When did you buy the Edge? You could trade it in for an Escape Hybrid, which gets 20 city & 26 Hwy. Ford will not be selling the Edge in 09, it is changing to the Flex. The Flex has a slighlt higher MPG for city and hwy. If your sticking to Ford, I would suggest not try to keep your rpm's down, just dont accelerate to quickly and try to do the usual things to avoid getting stuck in traffic(impossible.)

Just to let you know - Ford just released information regarding a recall on 08 model Edge and MKX AWD vehicles built from June 13, 2008 to June 17, 2008. There are only about 142 affected vehicles.The reason for the recall is a small cavity or surface depression may have developed outside the fuel tank at the location of a spot weld during the manufacturing. The small cavity or depression may cause fuel weepage or drip from the tank. Fuel in the presence of an ignition source could cause a fire. The information regarding vehicles sold was released to dealers June 27th. You can contact Ford or your local Ford dealership if you purchased your vehicle after the dates listed above.

does anybody have some tips to get better gas milage on my sel awd edge. ive heard knn filter but probably wont do anything and alo heard keep rpm's under 2k kind of hard to do. with gas at 3.50 and rising . im getting like 16mpg any input thanks
