There are items on the maintenance schedule. The big seller for me was it included brakes. If the brakes need replacing before 90k they are paid for. Plus I have towing and roadside assistance via Ford as well (I don't have AAA). I don't typically purchase these plans but paying the cost upfront vs costs later seemed reasonable enough to me.

Even though it's simple maintenance the 30k "inspection" in my area runs $259.99.

The way I look at it I still think I got a good deal. Either way getting to lazy to keep changing my own oil and doing my own maintenance anymore. I would rather have someone else deal with it.

True there were tons of incentives when I purchased mine.

Also if some are talking invoice as MSRP that's not invoice that's Manufactures "Suggested" Retail Price.

A car selling for 40k is easily invoiced at 30k after manf. incentives, dealer incentives, kickbacks, rebates, etc. More so in September and October and for those lucky few who find the 2016 new after the 2017's are in I would figure get the cars for next to nothing.

Even at the TrueCar price they can typically be 1000 to 1500 over actual invoice but if all dealers sold at cost then there would be no dealers left.

Though maybe I am stating to obvious.

I honestly never believed in the fixed pricing places, Carmax is always way overpriced in my book. Even the rental car sales places had 2015 Edges that had 35,000 plus miles and were selling for more money than what I purchase my 2016 Titanium for with only 16.5 miles on it. For me the deal was a no brainer. I took my TrueCar price and brought it to a non-TrueCar dealer and they said they absolutely could not get me that car for that price and let me walk. They even proceeded to tell me that TrueCar was not for real and I would never get that deal. Well story is I went to the dealer and got that deal.

Don't see many maybe 2 or 3 a week. There is an SE that picks up their kid at the same school as mine.

I do notice I get a lot of looks though. Funny my wife and I were at an intersection and we saw a BMW SUV looking over at our Edge.

I had the same thing happen once. I notice that Sync had updated maybe that was part of the update you just happened to start the car when it was rebooting maybe? Has not happened since then. Funny mine happened about when I had 500 miles on it. Now have about 900.

We will see.

I have rented Edges for the past 5 years. The Sync always has something. I took a 2013 up to Washington and after I refueled the gauges for gas/mileage etc all didn't come on. Scared me for a minute but stopped the car. Then got a message that Sync was updating restarted the car and everything was back to normal.

Have a feeling the blank screen has something to do with getting updates or Sync checking for updates.

Have the same white. I hope I don't get this issue if so going right back to the dealer. I am going to put the 3M clear paint protection film on the door edges at some point when I have time. Hopefully if there is an issue this will help.

I actually got the Maintenance program via Ford includes all oil changes, and tune ups through 90k. think the cost was 1800. I figured all work is done at a Ford Dealer and that's my preference. Those mechanics see Fords all day everyday they work so they know their way around them.

As far as warranty extension I got one via Costco cost was $2000 for that. It covers 7yrs/100k. For me it's piece of mind with the Ecoboost with a turbo plus all the electronics things can happen. I tend to keep my cars a while too so it's worth it to me to know I am covered AND if I don't use it I get some money back on it.

I don't tend to buy these items when getting a car but I did one time for a used Nissan Sentra way back when and it paid for itself by the second week. That car was a nightmare. The second week I had it the starter went out. had it towed, fixed, and rental car supplied. Total cost would have been $1000 had to wait a week for the starter for some reason. Paid 1200 for the warranty. Then a few months later used it for an oil leak had oil pan and head gaskets replaced would have cost another 300. So all in all it worked in my favor to the tune of 100 bucks.

Welcome!

Newbie here too. Drove a 2015 as a rental. It was an ecoboost Titanium and I didn't even realize it was a 4 cylinder until much later! Drove it to L.A. and took the grapevine with no issues. I was wondering why the gas mileage was so good. I didn't have to fill it up until I got there. So San Fran to L.A. one tank of gas!

I guess the grabby brakes were a 2015 thing because it was tough to get used to how quickly it would stop, very touchy! The rental was nice thought a Ruby Red with the beige leather, very classy.

My new 2016 seems a lot smoother in every way as compared to the 2015 I rented. I still have less than 900 miles on it so not realizing the higher gas mileage yet. Sure it will get there. Already avg around 22MPG comb city/hwy driving.

I would recommend the Maxliner but they only have black in color. I found mine on autoanything for $125 shipped. They are a perfect fit. I have the OEM cargo protector but not 100% sold on how well it fits. It's rolled up when they send it so you have to let it set a while before it settles in to place. Also the edges seem a little messed up on the OEM cover.

Here is the drivers side maxliner:

I maybe late to the party here but just an FYI I found this one by Dawn. Think it also goes by different names it's fairly generic but looks good and went on in about 15-20 min.

The back gate closed tight on it as well so it's a nice snug fit along the back as well.

wow those are some high prices. I think I got a good deal!

Purchased a 2016 Ford Edge Titanium Ecoboost for well under what you guys list.

Mine is a basic model though 19" wheels, no panoramic (don't want that headache), but everything else I wanted. Heated seats, leather, nav, alarm, etc.

I purchased through TrueCar and wow what an easy deal. I checked with another dealer and told him my price and they let me walk out the door since they could not even match the deal! Also everyone else was at least 5k higher for the SEL!

Bought a 2016 Ford Edge Titanium Ecoboost Tricolor White, with Ceramic interior.

Really like this car. Handles nice, smooth ride and acceleration. So far so good. Do have the strange rattle in the center console I have heard about in the form and the B-Pillar wind noise (but only going 75 MPH or higher!).

All in all it's a solid car.

I have been renting Edge's for the past 5 years whenever I take a long road trip with the family. I have been wanting one ever since the first day of driving it.

I opted to go with the ecoboost because I hear that slight chance the waterpump will blow up and I will need to spend 7k for a new one! Anyway I test drove both just to make sure the power was about equal. IMO the ecoboost actually climbed the hills better than the V-6.

For me the acceleration is smooth, gets me on the freeway with enough power and then some. My brother in law rode in it and could not believe it was a 4 cylinder! I don't either I just hope the power stays.

I use either mid-grade or premium fuel but have only filled it up 3 times since I got it. I do notice the power curve seems better with the premium though so when I am ready for that long trip it's premium all the way!

I already put a bud deflector, and cargo mat and cover, I have Maxliner mats coming, and have the Dawn bumper guard that I am putting on the rear bumper. Thinking about mud guards but not 100% sold on them yet. Do like the cleaner lines and look without them. Not sure I like the square look of the OEM ones. Saw some on Ebay but not sure how they would fit. they are only 25 bucks so I might take a chance to see if the are ugly then off they go.

Enjoy reading all the posts even before purchase it gives me an idea of what to look for.
