Used Car Evaluation went well. Everything checked out by a Ford Technician. Shaking was while braking, and could be resolved by polishing the rotors; Brakes were given a "6/32 6/32", Tires "8/32 8/32" Almost makes me wonder why I am getting a Warranty ... Peace of Mind perhaps. (not sure why the attached image is fuzzy ... local one is clear using Mac Preview)

I decided on the FORD BaseCare ESP sold by Lombard. $50 Deductible since it only costs $70 more overall. Relatively happy with a 2 year / 24,000 mile FORD ESP. Will get my Used Car Evaluation at local FORD's Quicklane still, for the $150 charge, and have anything mechanical repaired under my Dealer's 30 Day Promise. Will save about $(2630+69.69Tax - 50.00AdminCancelFee) - $1478 = $1171.69 off AVP Plan, which I can use to pay down my car loan by $1000, and ~ pay most of the $150 Deep Check and $99 Lombard Centro Required Test Drive. ... and then there's the Peace of Mind. Thanks to all at Ford Edge Forum for sharing your experience.

Our Ford dealer evidently doesn't like to sell folks the Base Care Said it doesn't cover what usually breaks down after 120000 ... Electrical, other ... Also $800 more than the Offer from Lombardy Pondering the different avenues.

Got a Discount in my email, so I will print this and take it to Apple Ford Lynchburg and see what they can do, to match, asking for waiving the Deductible if I bring all my Service there. Will probably need the Inspection I have scheduled on Wednesday for $150, even though LombardyFord requires one at $99. I also want this to possibly find any existing issues. The Used Car Dealer (I just bought it from), said they will fix anything (mechanical) within 30 Days of Purchase. This should also meet ESP criteria for Used Vehicles. Onward ... will keep you informed of my progress (helpful to me). ThankYou

These plans from the LombardFordWarrantys site were presented ... Choosing $50 Deductible Premium and Extra Care excluded. (see diagram) I have the 3.5L I'll add the info from the ... tomorrow, when the sun comes back up and I find a diagram of said parts. LoL I can get a refund on the AVP Plan. 18000 < 24000 < 36000 AVP <<< FORD <<< Assurance (?) from an employee at a Ford Dealership Onward!

I have a "Used Car Inspection" scheduled for next Wednesday, $150 at local Ford Dealership's Quicklane. Same inspection they use to Certify their Used Vehicles (170 Multi Point Inspection?) at that location. One multi-brand Ford Dealership, 45 minutes away, is offering an extensive sounding 3 YR / 36000 miles, requiring their Used Car Inspection, $100 Deductible Currently down to $3200, includes the Inspection. Believe it requires me to have it serviced there. (~$88/month) Where I purchased my Edge, sold me a $2700 "AVP" Warranty, 18 months / 18000 miles, $100 Deductible. (~$150/month) Seems extensive, but maybe not as much as the one above. Cancellable anytime. AVP is the "paper pusher" and has 2 bad comments about their skills on BBB. Staff at the Dealership says it is owned by the Dealership Owner, and has a good reputation of payments . Is that available for Used Ford Vehicles bought elsewhere? Continuing my search online over the weekend. Thanks!

Decided to make an appointment and put it through the local Ford's Quicklane Used Car regimen ... A 1 hour Multipoint Inspection for their Used Car evaluation ... $150 for Peace of Mind?

Recently purchased a 2015 Ford Edge Titanium with good Carfax records. 126000 miles Shows kept up well on servicing, owned in Virginia, and mostly driven in the area. Last Ford Dealership/Shop where it was Serviced for scheduled servicing, also said it was a well kept up car. Has Paper Manual and paperworks in original Apple pouch. With my Used Car Dealer, I have a 30 day promise "We'll fix anything you find wrong with it". They also give a Powertrain Warranty 3 months/3000 miles ... I also purchased an 18 month / 18000 mile extended warranty from "AVP - Assured Vehicle Protection", and of course wondering about them, too What testing do you suggest to find any fixable issues? Prior to purchase, I took it to my mechanic (non Ford shop) and we looked it over underneath and down into the engine. On the surface it looks great. Drives remarkably smooth, and the Dealer Mechanic went on a test drive with me as well. No issues reported in the Carfax, with one minor accident on passenger side, undetectable. Thanks for any suggestions. 30 days and the clock is ticking ... lol
