It seems to be a little early to get good estimates of used 09 values. Im not coming up with much on the edmunds-kbb-nada front, so Im curious what would be considered a ballpark "good" price for a '09 SEL AWD with <20k miles in the midwest region. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks all. Ive talked to quite a few service managers and mechanics I trust and am totally comfortable with the vehicle now. Still looking in the used market to try to get the most for my price range. Currently looking at lightly used 09s. I want something I can drive into the ground without many frills, so basically keeping an eye on 09 AWD SELs. Just gotta find the right one at the right price.

Anyone else care to chime in or elaborate? Reading up on the PTU stuff has made me slightly uneasy about purchasing the Edge, and Im trying to determine if I am being too concerned or if this is a deserved hold-up.

Ive been driving and viewing used 08 Edge SELs in my local area (midwest) and have been spending plenty of time on the net trying to do my proper research. I love the way they look, the way they drive, etc. The one thing I keep coming back to is the PTU & transmission issues. Ive found a used 08 AWD SEL within warranty at a great price that fits what Im looking for, however keep going back and forth fighting nerves on purchasing it due to the reported issues. Now I understand that you have to take the net with a grain, etc. But do any of you have suggestions as far as purchasing a used 08? Should I be overly concerned about the PTU stuff? Should I be waiting for an 09 model? Id love to purchase new, but it would be a few months before I would be in that position. A used one right now would put my monthly payments at a place I would love them to be. Any insight would be GREATLY appreciated. The intention was to look at this specific vehicle today.

Im going to look at an Edge tomorrow that if everything pans out Im intending to purchase. It has the roof rails on it which I would prefer to remove. I plan on asking the dealer, but was curious if anyone had it done and if its a big deal. Ive read around the forum and there is mention of having to possibly get weatherstripping or caps of some sort...but nobody seems to have elaborated on actually going through with the removal. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated!

Not so much worried as I am just trying to organize what the differences were. Ive been looking at the '07 order sheet sticky and while it talks about available interior colors, it of course doesnt describe the different color combos that fit that interior. I think my salesman believes he can find an SE 07 with tan interior and black dash...I didnt think that was an option. Doing my best to be an educated buyer!

Ill have to look for some new '08s in 'Sconsin then!

Hmm...from what Im finding I seem much better off financially in the used market. I certainly could be missing something though. My bank has me at 4.29% on the used loan.

Im in the hunt for a used 2008 Edge...most likely SEL but possibly SE if a great deal came around. For those of you who are truly Edge savy and have kept up with the changes and common problems with the 08 models, what specific things should I be looking for? What sort of things would a truly educated buyer be looking for on an '08?

Does anyone have a link to pages that show the different interior packages for the Edge? Im trying to find a used Edge and my local dealer (who of course would like to sell me one) I think is confused about the options on the 07. Im convinced that the options Im looking for are only in the 08 and later models. Or...if anyone could tell me what changed, if anything, in regards to the interior between the 07s and 08s. I know there were glare issues and such and some changes were made. Many thanks!

Quite true. Im actually back on the prowl for another Edge. I did not end up keeping the one I was looking at as it wasnt the right "fit". Currently back looking at used 08 models. Im definately sold on the Edge...what a fantastic looking and driving vehicle.

Cool Like I said, I had read the few other threads but they seemed to be more about specific speaker suggestions etc. rather than talking about the simple, noticeable difference. I dont consider myself crazy handy or anything...but Ill have to do some reading. Ive been looking at the instruction stuff on Crutchfield this afternoon.

Opted out of the mud flaps. Once they dealer got them in, we opened them up and realized they were plane Ford flaps...no contour of any kind...a flat black mat basically. The tech guy was more dissapointed then I was lol, he said something before I did.

I know this has been discussed some, but I couldnt seem to find any opinions from people who just swapped out the 4 speakers in the SE model. I can live with the stock ones, but they really lack significant clarity, etc. I dont really want to change the stereo...so Im curious if anyone has swapped just the speakers and found it to be a worthwhile investment with a noticeable change. Many thanks!
