  1. Wow this is good news. I plan to get a 2011 next year when my 3yr RCL is up. I just hope they offer some better colors. They took away my Vapor Silver. I guess Sterlings Grey is the next best thing. I just which they offered Steel Blue. The Ink Blue look black and the Sport Blue looks like a teen color. The Cinnamon ain't too bad I suppose.

     

    Remember, the std. engine for will be a 4 cyl. turbo, could be nice if you live in a cold or mid climate. But turbo's other problems are the std turbo delay in 90 degrees and above are terrible to live with.

     

    Luck to you,

  2. Your sales Rep can't get anything processed that is not available.

     

    The process is very simple: When your car arrives, you will get the incentive that is available at that time. The dealer reporting the sale to Ford has to lock in the Rebate program number with program headquarters that is on the VINCENT form for the vin/zip code/type of purchase.

     

    I highly agree, only what is available at the time of purchase. The $2,000. + the extra $1,000. is now the locked in rebate until Jan. 10, 2010. The extra $750 ended for all on the first of November. I spent 20 yrs with ford in f&i, leasing and GSM as well as gm.

     

    I just picked up a new 2010 Edge Se. I was charged $400.00 under factory invoice, but there was also a dealer fee of $499.00......... Net price was $100.00 over. Dealers use this prep for additional PROFIT. Because of the normal pre printed contract already shows a fee included, my car was sold to me "under invoice". You cant expect to pay less than $100.00 profit, in fact if you can really get out the door for this price you have done very well.

     

    For those that are considering purchasing a new vehicle, and don't have the stuff to get you there go to overstock.com. Yes, they use a service that can get you all of the deals. If your price is not marked as a great price, open your search area for additional dealers.

     

    Good Luck,

  3. My window sticker from my 2008 Edge Limited reads 16 city / 24 hwy. Thw window sticker on a 2010 Edge Limited reads 18 city / 25 hwy. What has changed to cause the EPA MPG to increase since 2008? If anything, I would have expected it to be lower since the EPA standards for measuring MPG have gotten tougher over the years.

     

     

    2010 FORD EDGE BOASTS FUEL ECONOMY IMPROVEMENTS TO COMPLEMENT CONVENIENCE, STYLE & TECHNOLOGY

    click here Thanks for the report; Concept Cars and Pictures.

  4. unless in Canada - where DRLs are turned on by law - they are off from the factory in USA. And, you have to go to the dealer to have turned on as they are set via a computer & can;t be done by owner. At least, that is the way it was for 2007-2009, so I assume same for '10.

     

    Search for DRLs here and you can read more on the topic.

     

    Thanks Lex;

    I just was not sure on late model units, how or where.

     

    Thanks for the advise, I'll check with a buddy of mine. He is a ford mechanic, but 2200 miles away. Just hate to think I have to go back to AZ to get this fixed. Here in So Fl, I can't even get a ford dealer to talk to me about this.

  5. Hi all, just a newbie here.

     

    I previously owned a ford expedition and was able to find a sequence of turning the lamps switch on and off a number of times, along with the ignition switch also being used. I was able to program my expedition to turn on day light running lamps.

     

    I was wondering with all of the reprogramming on Edges and MXK's being done today if anyone has run across some thing like this. Looking to try for my new 2010 edge.

     

    Thanks Guys,
